Project title: factors that contribute to friendship duration Project analyse method: multiple regression analysis with friendship duration as your DV This study is designed to investigate the factors that affecting the duration of friendship the most. The three major factors would be the proximity, reciprocity, similarity.
Possible Helpful hints:
Proximity: Festinger et al (1950) found students who lived in close proximity of each other formed strong/close friendships because of the continued exposure (seeing someone who lives on the same floor as you) in his study of graduates who lived in 17 different two storey flats had close friends who lived in the same building (2/3rd)
Reciprocity: Reciprocity is thought to demonstrate a mutual understanding, which is important to friendship at any age (Rotenberg and Sliz 1998). Disclosure reciprocity is considered normative, especially in close relationships (Caltabiano and Smithson 1983). Reciprocity is a basis of trust and a basis for legitimate power. The principle is that others will reciprocate in kind based upon the way you treat them. The world gives you what you give to the world.
Similarity: Newcomb (1961) Paired students in a study. The initial information he collected from the students regarding beliefs and attitudes were used to pair them with someone similar or. He found friendships were much more likely to form when paired with someone similar (58% and 25% respectively)
Also, Demographics such as age,sex, and social class have long since been linked with relationships. These characteristics certainly affect friendship.
This work requires students to display evidence of their ability to work independently in both researching and presenting a topic of their own choice, and to sustain these skills in an extended exercise. Among those skills is the ability to plan and complete a substantial piece of work within the set deadlines.
Under tutorial guidance, and subject to the approval of the Psychology Modules and Assessment Committee and, if appropriate, the external examiner(s), students will select a research topic. The topic must be demonstrably based within the discipline of Psychology, have sufficient substance to be adjudged capable of reaching the standards expected of a final year undergraduate research dissertation, and be ethically viable. The research topic may be an original piece of research, or be a re-working of secondary materials from an original viewpoint. The research must always involve empirical study.
