“Ethnographic Observations and Survey Results: Exploring Social Interactions in a Public Space”

Part Question 1.
You will conduct ethnographic observations in a public place for at least one hour (your observations may be relevant to your research interests as it could be helpful if they are somewhat related to your topic so that you can write about your observations in your final research paper). Be sure to take notes while you are making observations. You will then write a 3-page (double-spaced) report describing what you observed (using your notes). This document will be very factual about what you saw. However, you may briefly reflect on what you are doing, along with how you are feeling and what you are thinking while you are out in the field.

Part 2:
Administer your survey to at least 10 respondents. You may have family or friends take your survey. You will report your results by putting the coded data into an excel spread sheet. Begin examining the data for any patterns or possible associations. For your final research paper, you will be analyzing and interpreting this data so that you can report your results more completely through writing about what you found (including tables, charts, etc.). However, at this point, you are only expected to report the raw data for this assignment by submitting your excel spreadsheet. SampleCodingSpreadsheetForSurvey.xlsx
***Note: You can use the sample coding excel spreadsheet as a template for your own coding sheet to show your survey results for each of your respondents. You will see that a word or short description (that you will create) for each of your survey questions/variables should appear in the top row of the spreadsheet (e.g., gender, age) and each of your respondents should be listed in the left-hand column (e.g., Respondent 1, Respondent 2).
Once you have your spreadsheet set up, you will apply a numeric value to your respondents’ answers for every question in your survey. For example, if you asked someone to identify their gender and they selected woman as their answer choice, you could code this answer as a 1 for all your survey respondents who identify as women. For respondents who identify as men, you could code this answer as a 2. If they do not identify as a woman or man, or select another answer choice, you could code this answer as a 3, etc. If you are using Likert scales, you could, for instance, code strongly disagree as 1, disagree as 2, neutral as 3, agree as 4, and strongly agree as 5.
