To begin: start by pulling up the checklist. Organize your outline based on this checklist.
Go through each item on the checklist and begin to fill in your own information. Where you have blanks try and project forward.
Conclude by projecting forward: what needs done in order for you to write up a draft by Thursday?
Respond to at least 2 peers: reading through the outline, what questions come to mind? What looks promising? What is one word of advice?
Introduction: Introduce the question “how are women in the media influencing the way the ‘everyday’ woman in perceived?”, although people talk about celebrities influencing other young women, it isn’t usually looked at how perceptions of women in the media are the same or different from everyday women. Then talk briefly about specific things that were looked at based on this question: women’s equality in America, the relevant female celebrities (Miley Cyrus, Ariana Grande and Taylor Swift), what is seen as “good” and “bad” in terms of these females. Then briefly speak to the importance of this research, why this is relevant to women’s equality, the way we view the media and how we transfer that to the everyday woman.
ReplyDeleteSecondary Research Overview: Outline where women are in America now and where they have left to go to become equal in America, this will involve mostly statistics from the different sources. Then an explanation of the celebrities and the views of them from the sources. Finish with a concluding area that brings together these ideas and how they pertain to the question.
Methods: I will have a section on the survey, explaining the type of sampling (convenience) the people who participated (mostly female, late teens early twenties, some male) the questions I chose, two were open ended, the rest were closed, besides gender and age one question was quantitative and the rest were qualitative, also the way I chose to word questions so that they were very specific. I will have a section on the observation, explaining where it was conducted which was DU, because of this the results can only be representative of the DU population and the fact that I chose to focus on the way members of both sexes interacted with women, why I didn’t look at other observations even if they were noted. An interview section that talks about Racheal Liberman who I interviewed, the fact that her research focuses around pop culture and feminism and sexuality in particular. Look at the questions I asked her, the fact that they were all open ended and what the questions focused on.
Results: I will talk about the trends seen in the survey, observation and interview. This will probably involve a series of charts/graphs from the survey and observation findings, highlighting things that are similar between the three sources.
Discussion: This will involve looking at how all the findings/trends relate back to the question. Looking at where the findings overlapped between the sources and where they were significantly different. Look at trends revolving around celebrities, trends about female rights and trends about the everyday woman. Then look at how all of those seem connected, this will include similarities and differences between the way these celebrities are viewed compared to how everyday women are viewed and any parallels between those and women’s equality.
Conclusion: This will look at the overall findings, was there a definite connection between the way women are seen in the media and everyday women. This will also look at what’s left for this research, what else should be looked at, are there other questions that need to be asked, should different genders or age groups be focused on etc.
Works Cited and signed consent form
I like that you interviewed Professor Liberman because she will have a lot of helpful quotes to support your thesis and other research :) One question I have/a "word of advice" would be about how you will make this more of a research paper and less argumentative. I know for this subject it is easy to take a side on if celebrity influences are good or bad, or if the media should portray women this way. However, I do think you worded your question in a way that I don't think this will be too big of a problem.
DeleteHey Emma!!!
DeleteI really like this topic and I think the work you have done so far is promising. I took your survey, and I think the questions you asked were pointed and inspired thought. I am curious to see what people "hate" about the celebrities you mention in the survey, and how these celebrities represent the "rest" of women and girls portrayed in the media. I look forward to hearing more about your work!!! Keep on keepin on!!!
Your outline definitely shows that you know what you’re doing as well as what you’re looking for. It was very specific and I was able to see the thought process of the paper. A question I do have is why you chose to research Miley Cyrus, Ariana Grande, and Taylor Swift? There are lots of female celebrities, but why did you choose them? Was it random? Or did you have a reasoning for that? Something that I think will look promising are the results. I kind of have an idea that the results may be a little negative within the realm of this topic. But I think it will be promising because hopefully it can bring to light the importance of it and how change should take place. The only word of advice that I can think of right now would be one concerning your outline. You had it in a huge paragraph chunk and it was really difficult to read and separate the different sections. Like if I wanted to just go back and take a glance at the methods, I would needs to skim through most of it to be able to find it. But I don’t think it’s too major considering the actual paper is more important. Good luck!
DeleteIntroduction
ReplyDeleteFirst Paragraph
- Basic definition of linguistics
- Explain what computational linguistics is, introduce the question of meaning
- Research question: How is meaning conventionally expressed in computational linguistics, what are the limitations and how can it be improved?
- transition
Present Research
- Mention the broad span of the field and limited scope of this paper
- Foundation of logicism and its relevance
- what is it (example)
- Montague’s idea to use it for linguistics (relevance)
- how this lead to normalized constructions
- normalized construction and its relevance
- further explain nc in terms of non-standard words
- goal is to select the “proper” speech for a fuzzy word
- expansion and selection
- applications: artificial intelligence, TTS, parsing, etc. (relevance)
- more questions raised/not gotten to
- dealing with ambiguous meanings (like sarcasm)
- giving cultural context
- locating antecedents
- etc. etc. etc. (there’s still a lot of questions, why the focus is narrow)
- transition
Methods
Survey
- simple four question survey
- # of participants, approximately 50
- all first year students living in halls at DU
- asked if people know what linguistics is, if they think it’s important and why, the practical applications they can think of for it and if they have ever used technology that uses it. Three yes or no’s will give me the ability to find percentages that will be nice for the paper.
- “interpretive approach” (look at checklist when ready)
Interview
- email sent with three questions, asking about experience in CL, potential applications they believe are relevant, and which approach to meaning expression they believe is most promising.
- Goldsmith, professor at University of Chicago
- waiting for a response. I have sent it to two other professors as well.
Observation
- observed conversations between college students
- noted frequency of “misused” terms (where literal and intended meanings of words were clearly distinct)
- 5 minute observations
- 2 conducted and compared
Results
Survey
- using graphs, will display popular opinion of linguistics
- will clarify some misconceptions about its relevance (people don’t realize they use technology derived from linguistic studies, like Siri or talk-to-text)
Interview
- Which approach is most promising according to a professor
- Which applications of CL are most significant
Observation
- Significance of the issue of context in terms of deriving meaning
- relate to the problem of context as a whole with programming
Discussion
- Highlighting my findings (still tbd eek)
- Comparing my findings to research
- Dealing with limitations (clearly limited by scope of knowledge and length of paper)
- Wrap up with why CL is important, its potential and that it has a bright future :)
I think that what you have looks very promising, it seems like your outline techniques are very good, you kept things short and they have a very obvious distinction between them. I think that you have a very great idea of how your essay will be organized. I wonder how you'll show the results for your observation, will it just be a list of the misused words or something else? I think that one piece of advice would be to remember that your audience is people in your discipline, so I don't know if you'll be defining everything but remember that a lot of people will know what you're talking about, since they'll be linguists. So you don't need to have a super thorough background. Good luck, I think your paper will turn out great, looks good so far!
DeleteVery detailed outline, seems like you know exactly what you are doing. Surveyed all first year students which is a good idea because most of them should not be experienced in linguistics. Other than that everything looks fine!
DeleteIntroduction
ReplyDelete-State my question. “How does software design change depending on the platform that is being designed for?”
-State purpose for the question I’m asking. This is a topic I find interesting and I think it would be helpful for desktop designers to have a conclusive piece that tells them how to design for mobile. I want the paper to fill in the gap of mobile designers wondering what rules they should follow and to contain the important aspects of designing for mobile devices.
-Outline present research and how it will be used in my essay. It’s piecey, but it agrees generally. I’m combining what the sources say to come up with general rules.
-Announce broadly some things I found from my secondary research. Talk about a general idea from each of my themes from the lit review, need to figure out what I’ll use for that.
-Put my sources in conversation with one another in order to show how my sources interact with one another. Show how they don’t really disagree and how none of them state the full story.
Methods
-The research method I used was very qualitative. In my survey I asked questions like “Which of these apps do you enjoy using?” My observation was maybe more quantitative, I asked people to let me watch them use their phone for about 1 minute in order to see what areas of the screen people touched most often, how they used their phone, what apps they go to, etc. My Interview with Dr. Rutherford is scheduled to be conducted on Thursday, but the questions I’ve prepared are all very subjective, like what he thinks about when designing software.
-Still waiting to get more results on my survey, but generally the audience is from reddit.com/r/samplesize
talk about where I conducted my research. Among my friends in various locations. About 6 subjects.
Bring out some of the specific questions from my survey and interview. “Which of the following apps do you enjoy using?” “When designing for mobile devices, in what sequence do you think about the design interfaces and why?”
-What I looked for when interpreting: Observation: Where people placed their fingers, how they held their phone. Interview: first-hand expert advice on how a good software engineer thinks about design. Survey: What apps people consciously enjoy using, some other trends that I’ll notice later.
Results/Discussion
-I don’t think I’ll have many numbers to show, probably just a little bit for my survey and I can maybe show some quantitative data of my observation, showing pictures of a phone and where a percentage of the touches landed relative to the target, how frequently one part was interacted with, etc.
Highlight major findings, I’m not quite sure what these will be quite yet, but I’m 99% sure I won’t forget to incorporate them
.
-Evaluate data in light of previous data cited in secondary research: I will talk about my secondary research here. I will draw on my literature review often to connect the theme conclusions I found there to ideas from my primary research.
-Discuss limitations of project. Demographic of those surveyed, interviewed, and observed (mostly teenage males for this project). Look at the validity of the questions and observation method. I’ll have to see what other limitations I see of the project I see later.
-Discuss Exigency: In a cosmic sense, there is none. In the field of software design, it will just make apps a little bit more pleasing to use because designers will have a piece of research to read to figure out how to design for both platforms, and the differences between the two.
I like that you included why you chose this topic and why it's relevant. In terms of your results, even though it is qualitative you can quantify it, or show it in terms of number of people who answered what. I also really like how specific you're being about what you're planning on discussing. My only question/comment would be looking at where the research can go from here and including that.
DeleteTresdon-- one question I have pertains to the main question you are addressing; while I know that once readers look over the entirety of your paper, they will have a perfectly clear understanding of what you mean by this question, I had to look over it a few times in order to understand what you are asking, and even then I am not sure it made sense to me. This being said, it's a very menial question, as the people reading your paper will be in this field, and will have a much better understanding than me. Because of this, and this being the only question that came to mind when reading your post, this is very promising. The exigency was a little troubling-- I would try to find more concrete response to this, and would not say that there is no cosmic point in your research (although I did like that part personally :) )
DeleteTresdon,
DeleteYour outline does an excellent job of highlighting all that you have to include, and really gives me a sense of the direction that your paper is going in. You also do a great job of pointing out how your research connects to your question, noting that there is a gap in mobile software design and that how through your research mobile software may be more easily and effectively developed. However, I notice that in your question you simply asks how software development changes between platform, but since your research seems to focus specifically on the change from desktop to mobile design you may want to elaborate there. Aside from that great outline and I wish you luck on your paper!
Introduction:
ReplyDeleteMove 1: How does music affect mood, mental health, and the human brain?
Move 2: Not all music can make a person happy or feel healthy; there can be a negative effect as well.
Move 3: Present research shows that music does show effects on the brain itself along with developmental growth. Primary research shows many people are able to notice effects of music. Most secondary research is backed up by primary research.
Set up:
Use specific themes for framework. The most important category to focus on is brain development based off of music, but the music therapy will tie to my primary research, so it will go towards the end of this section so that it connects to the interview. I will be able to use almost all (or all) of my sources because they are all applicable to the information I want to share.
Methods:
My methodological approach would be considered mixed, because even though most of my conclusions will be qualitative, some of my demographics and a few statistics have to be quantitative. To connect to the previous paragraph, I will begin this section with information from the interview with a music therapist. This way, I can connect the secondary research with the primary research right away. I also have surveys and observations to add to my research methods. Important survey results will be what music people notice creates negative effects or emotions such as sadness, anger, or regret.
Results:
Charts from survey about the number of people who notice effects. I will compare what my secondary research says with what I learned from my interview.
Discussion:
I will highlight major findings that I can’t outline yet because I do not have all of my primary research finished. Hopefully it will make sense to connect it with what I pulled out of my lit review. I will bring the results back to the introduction and the original question, as well as the gap of research about negative effects.
Sara, you have a really interesting research question! You could be a little more specific with your outline, but I think it's clear enough that you know what you're going to put in each section that when you go to write it you should have no problem.
DeleteHey Sara. I think your research question is super interesting as well, I can't wait to see what you find out. I agree with Julia that you can maybe refine your outline to be more detailed, it may help you move through your essay quicker. It may be that you have a very clear outline in your head though and the outline will probably work in its current state. I think you have a very good idea of what your method section should include! Good luck on your paper, I think it will turn out great.
DeleteSara-- I really like your topic! The research question you posed is very interesting, and is relevant to those in the field and the general public alike. I would like to see what your primary research shows you, but as to the rest of your outline I have no questions. I think the topic is very promising, and I would just recommend compiling your research in a succinct manner, as it seems like you have a lot of various parts of your research to deal with.
DeleteHey Sara,
DeleteI like your research question, its interesting, and something that can be observed. What method are you going to use to show the changing of the moods? What types of music are you going to use to change the mood? You should probably expand the outline a little bit, add some detail, but if it works for you, then nice!
If ever presented with the chance, I would be really interested in reading your paper. It sounds really interesting. It really reminds me of the hype back then of playing music to your plants and such. For your survey, what exactly are you asking your survey participants? You were pretty general on that and I couldn’t really figure out what you were exactly asking your participants. Your findings seem to be really promising because I think they may be super interesting as well as what you draw from your findings as well. As of right now, I don’t really have a word of advice because it looks pretty good. But if I do find something, I may contact you and let you know. Good luck!

Abstract:
Summarizing entire Inquiry Research Paper
Introduction:
-Establishing a Question: Can the HIV/AIDS virus survive in a compost? If so, can it become a public health concern?
-Establishing a Purpose: (noticed that there was a lack of information pertaining specifically to composting and HIV/AIDS), (sparked curiosity), (noticed that any article concerning composting and pathogens are very scarce and minimal), (wanted to find things to possibly try and fill those gaps)
-Occupying the Purpose:
Will talk about composting and how there are gaps in regulation, Bring up pathogens and its past association with composting, talk about HIV/AIDS and how it can present a problem in composting, talk about how unhygienic composting can lead to public health concerns, talk about why and how it can be identified as a public health concern, (if there’s time and enough research, talk about possible ways to counteract the potential public health concern)
Brief overview
-Possibly talk about literary review
-Discuss sources used in literary review
-Draw from literary review and have sources conversate with each other
Methods Section
-Talk about different methods used→ research, interviews, surveys, observations, etc
-Surveys: talk about the 4 questions→ (Do you compost?)(Did you know human bodies are compostable?)(If you were sick, would you throw your tissue into the compost?)(Do you think bacteria/virus/pathogens can survive in a compost?)
-Results of Surveys: to be completed and analyzed
-Interviews: a PhD professor from the science department at DU, an MD doctor
-Interview Results: still waiting for replies
-Observations: done in Nelson Dining Hall with clear view of trash/compost bins
-Observation results: composting isn’t a priority, obviously because the compost bin is there→ people dump food into the compost bins, but if there is a long line and people are in a hurry to get through, they will through their food away into the garbage
-Research: draw from literary review, found sources through DU academic databases
-What I looked for: I was not specifically looking for anything. I was neutral and unbiased through this process, knowing that most of the primary research was personal/public opinions based
Results
-results of surveys
-show interview replies
-include data images for surveys
-sample of observation field notes
Discussion
-discuss results of surveys and what they could possibly mean
-discuss replies from interviewees and whether they were biased and what their opinions mean as well as their backgrounds and how that may influence their replies
-discuss what observations mean
-discuss conclusion-type ideas drawn from research material
-discuss limitations of project
Conclusion
-summary of everything, findings, and final ideas, and room for improvements, and next steps
Della, your topic is still super interesting to me! I would love to know how all the research played out for you! It looks like you outlined your paper clearly, and that you know exactly what you are trying to say for each section (besides possibly needing more details in the "brief overview" section, but this in all honesty is being pulled from the lit review so it should be fine). Good luck with writing your paper!
DeleteSeems like you have a good idea of what you're doing. The interview with the PhD and MD professors sounds really beneficial because they can help get better ideas rolling in your paper. I don't really understand the purpose of the observation in the Nelson so maybe you should elaborate a little more on that. HIV and AIDS are a huge problem in this world so it's interesting to see what you can find!
DeleteWow Della! I love your topic!
DeleteYour outline has lots of detail and its really well thought out. I like your survey questions. I'm just wondering who you are going to interview, and how your are going to observe in Nelson, so maybe a lille more detail there. Nice job and good luck!
Della! This is a very interesting piece! I know that earlier today, you actually interviewed me, at random, to answer some of your research questions. I am curious to see how exact those results are going to be incorporated throughout your paper. Also, do you plan on using any specific quotes?
DeleteIntroduction
ReplyDeleteQuestion- How do computers affect people’s visual health?
Purpose- To look deeper into what exactly causes people’s vision to be affected by computers and the different ways to help prevent this.
- Announce present research: Talk about how computer vision syndrome can cause symptoms to appear in computer users.
- Announce principal findings: State some research that stood out to me.
- Indicating research article structure: Present the idea of how many articles from my research report similar findings. Most articles have statements then use studies or experiments to back up their findings.
- Overview of secondary research: Talk about how secondary sources relate to my research in a way that doesn’t just list them.
Methods
-Talk about the people used in research: Mixed method because it’s important to do research on people who use computers a lot, and people who don’t. Random research participants, any gender, any age.
-Location of research: At University of Denver, mostly college students.
-Types of data collection: Observations- observing students and how long they use a computer within in certain amounts of time. Surveys: random people answer 10 questions about their computer habits. Interview: couldn’t get into touch with vision specialist. Interviewed a computer science professor and asks questions about his computer habits and his view on computer vision syndrome.
- Interpretive approach: Talk about how I looked for people who use the computer more should experience more symptoms or problems.
Results
- Break the data down into different categories, and use percentages and graphs to make the data easier to see.
- Use some answers from comp sci professor and explain how it relates or doesn’t relate to the data.
Discussion
- Look for results in my data that can relate to secondary sources outcomes, talk about how they compare or differ.
- State the major trends that stood out from my data and discuss why this happened.
- Explain how I couldn’t get into touch with a vision expert because no one responds and there is no medical school at DU.
- How the college environment consists of students which has a majority of answers from people who are 18-24.
- Bring up the results from my data that many people don’t even know what computer vision syndrome is. This research is important because it makes people more aware of my topic which can help them minimize or reduce effects.
Jason, overall your outline looks great! A computer science professor is a good alternative for an interview since you couldn't talk to a vision expert. Since you talk about computer vision syndrome, is there any symptoms of it that show up in non computer users? How can you tell that it is from prolonged computer use, rather than just deterioration of eye health over time? That might be good to include when you first introduce it.
DeleteThis is a super interesting topic that relevant today & will be even more in the future as we will be able to see the effects of the computer on vision in our generation as we age. I am curious to see what your results yield: do you have a targeted audience/participants in mind? What kind of questions did you ask in your survey?
DeleteI look forward to learning more about this! Thanks for sharing.
Jason, I think that this is a very clean layout for you're draft. Because of the type of research that you have to perform, to fit the complexity of this topic, I am wonder what were some of the specific questions that you asked and more specifically why those questions? Overall, very nice work!

ReplyDeleteA Checklist for the Inquiry-based Essay
ReplyDeleteIntroduction:
Move 1 Establishes a Question: What are the most effective and commonly used tactics for sustainability within marine ecosystems, and are these effective enough?
Move 2 Establishes a Purpose: Step 1A: The purpose of my paper, and extended research, is necessary, as I found that there was little research indicating how much people knew, and the general awareness level. Given this, it would be easier to distribute knowledge within the subject, especially once it is clear what people do and do not currently know.
Brief overview of secondary research:
I will include sections from my literary review, and I will quote the majority of my sources, as it is hard to incorporate all the necessary information in a differently phrased way then it is already compiled.
Methods section:
Methodological approach: I approached my research in a mixed method manner. First, I searched various databases for the information I deemed necessary in order to form my research. I then decided the questions I needed to find answers to in order to bridge the gap between what was already researched, to transfer this knowledge into my research based essay. I did this in means of my interview with someone working in the field of marine biology, who had extensive knowledge on coral reefs and was more than willing to share this knowledge with me, my survey, and my observation. The number of participants is still increasing, and is currently at around 20 participants included in my survey answers, ranging in age, gender, and overall knowledge of the subject. I selected these participants randomly through my Facebook account, and anyone who wishes to respond may do so. The questions I asked in my survey varied greatly with those asked in my interview. For example, in my survey, I was trying to glean a broader sense of who knows what, and to what extent their awareness stretches, so I asked questions such as their age, gender, if they think coral reefs matter, and a few questions on what their relationship with the ocean is, and a couple questions on specific fact based questions concerning coral reefs specifically. Thus far, I have been looking for patterns amongst the survey responses. Similarly, I will do so in my observations. Within my interview, I interpreted the information from an outsider’s perspective, and tried to gain knowledge that would be applicable and understandable to the general public as well as new information to those studying in the field of marine biology.
Results Section:
I found within my methods that many people are unaware of how prominent the coral reefs are in marine ecosystems, and in the world’s oceans. My interview was extremely helpful, as my interviewee gave me a large amount of information I was unaware of, and can transfer to my overall knowledge as well as incorporate in my essay. I will show them this with excerpts from my interview.
Discussion Section:
My connections between my interview and my survey are very interesting, as one is conducted with a professional within the field of marine biology, and my survey is of the general public surveyed on Facebook, and I will connect these two through the transferring of information that is similar. For example, I will evaluate the data in my survey in juxtaposition with the information I have found in my secondary sources. My secondary sources show that less than 1% of the oceans are comprised of coral reefs, while only 1 person that took my survey answered that question correctly. This research I have conducted and compiled from secondary research as well is important, as coral reefs are in danger of disappearing completely, and according to my research through my survey and interview, many people are unaware of this, and how drastic this loss would be.
You're methods section seems really clear which is awesome. In terms of your secondary research section, I think it's important to look at the way you're going to organize it, are there themes from your lit review that you're going to combine or do a section for each theme? I would also say to look at where this research can go from here in your conclusion, say what else should be looked at from this point to further the research.

ReplyDeleteEstablishes a Question:
RESEARCH QUESTION: What are the Chi Omegas at Denver University Dreaming about and what do those dreams mean?
Establishes a Purpose:
Why did you decide to research this specific part of dreaming and dreams?
What was missing that your research could fill?
Most research about dreams deals with why they are having these dreams, not what these dreams mean. My research focuses on what the most common dreams that Chi Omegas at DU are having, and then uses primary and secondary research to provide interpretations of those dreams.
Overview of secondary research:
Sources from lit review: 5 academic 3 popular
• Bergmann- Popular- interpretation
• Wallace-Popular- interpretation
• Rainville-Academic- Dreaming about
• Hill-Academic- Interpretation
• Malinowski- Academic- Lucid Dreaming
• Stumbrys- Academic- Lucid dreaming
• Freud- Academic- Interpretation
• Bourke- Popular- interpretation
Methods:
METHOD APPROACH:
PARTICIPANTS: 90 Chi Omega sisters between the ages of 18 and 22. They are all college women in a sorority.
LOCATION OF RESEARCH: online surveymonkey survey, observation in JMAC dorm room, and survey over the phone with Dr. Kohles, who is located in California
TYPES OF DATA:
• Survey: Questions include asking what common dreams the subjects have been having, and if they lucid dream.
• Interview: Asked what each of the common dreams mean
• Observation: Watched my roommate, a Chi Omega, for 6 hours, and recorded noises, words and movement. Before she went to sleep, I had her read Cinderella by the Grimm Brothers and asked her to think about the story till she fell asleep. In the morning, I asked her if she remembered any of her dreams, and recorded the answers.
Interpretative approach: I looked for the most popular dreams and whether or not they have lucid dreams.
Results:
Charts and tables with numbers from the surveys and showing how those compare with the most common dreams.
Discussion:
Major findings: For this part I will show the top ten dreams that the girls in my sorority have been having.
Data: I will explain what my data means and compare it with the major findings.
Criticisms: need to say that these results were received during week 7/8 in a 10-week quarter
Importance: Important because finding out what the students are dreaming about can help them understand what’s happening in their daily lives
Sources: List sources
Consent forms: From my roommate (whose name shall be kept confidential) and from Dr. Kohles

Introduction
Movement 1: Establishing a question
What is the direct relationship between ones past, present, and future relationships?
How much does a past relationship influence a current and future relationship?
Movement 2: Establishing a Purpose
• Research has proven that individuals have proven that individuals tend to live their life in a way that is most comfortable and logical to them. Almost ever individual in the world has been in at least one relationship in their life; the number of relationships is to be determined.
• Those that have been in more than one relationship have tendencies to either mock their previous relationship to their current relationship or change their expectations for a relationship.
Movement 3: Occupying the Purpose
• The following themes will be discussed throughout this essay
o Ones past relationships
• Andy K. Merolla “The Impact of Past Dating Relationship Solidarity on Commitment, Satisfaction, Investment and Maintenance in Current Relationships”
• “Attachment and Romantic Relationships” by Erica G. Hepper and Katherine B. Carnelley
• “Adolescent Romantic Relationships: A Developmental Perspective” by Elizabeth A. Wehner
• “How Past Relationships Emerge in the Present” Susan Andersen and Regina Miranda
o Current Relationships
• Andy Merolla
• Erica G. Hepper and Katherine B. Carnelley
• “Romantic Relationship Memory Effects on Future Romantic Relationship Forecasts: A Difference by Attachment” Derek D. Caperton
o Future Relationships
• Derek D. Caperton
• Daniel J. Whitaker et al, “Attachment and Expectations about Future Relationships.”
Methods Section:
• Constructed face to face interviews on “theories of relationships”
• Asked individuals to tell me their opinion on relationships
• Put together surveys for individuals asking how many relationships they have been in, how have they changed since their first relationship on a scale of 1-10, and which relationship they believe was most impactful
• 6 participants, multiple ethnicities, ages 18-21
• Multiple locations, mostly over FaceTime and surveys through the internet
• When asking for their opinion on relationships, I observed how their body language would change when giving their ideal relationship in comparison to one that they would hate. I also asked to recall their first relationship, which had similar results for body language. Most of the interviewees seemed really upset when talking about how their first relationship did not go as they had thought it would
• When talking about their most impactful/best relationship, they all seemed happy to discuss it, even if they were no longer together.
Results Section
• Majority of interviewees found their first or second relationship to be most impactful
• Many looked at the relationship between their parents, so that they knew what type of relationship they should have –Quote from Grant N.
• Expectations were so high, they had to lower them –Quote from Aysia N.
• Many love being in relationships –quote from Eshe W.
Discussion Section
• Without mentioning anything to them, most of the people who were willing to do my test, actually said what I had planned on proving in my paper
• Some quotes relate back to my literature Review
Dimitrius,
DeleteImmediately the first question that comes to mind is how each of your sources come together to define the current body of research in regards to your research question. Thus, I feel that you could use a little more description here. Another section that could use a little more description is in your results section as while you name quotes and sources that may tie into your results, you don't include the actual results of your research that would tie in with these. Aside from that however you have a very detailed outline and it's easy to see what all the other sections of your paper will be about. Your methods section is particularly detailed and gives a great deal of insight on how your research was done. Best of luck on your paper!
