THE TEXTBOOK, WHICH CAN ALWAYS BE USED AS A REFERENCE IS: RESEARCH METHODS IN HEALTH PROMOTION BY RICHARD A. CROSBY, RALPH J. DiCLEMENTE & LAURA F. SALAZAR (2006). SAN FRANCISCO, CA. JOSSEY-BASS PUB.
I LIVE IN RURAL MISSISSIPPI WHICH IS NEAR MEMPHIS, TN (SHOPPING MALLS) & TUNICA, MS (12 CASINOS). SO EITHER TOPIC YOU DECIDE TO OBSERVE IS FINE. IF YOU HAVE ANOTHER SCENERIO THAT WILL FIT MY LIVING AREA, THEN BY ALL MEANS USE IT. JUST DON’T GIVE ME ANYTHING I CAN’T EXPLAIN. A PARK, A GAME OR A FAIR WILL ALSO WORK.
Qualitative vs. Quantitative Data Collection
Ethnology is the study of the division of humankind based upon race, ethnicity, origins, or characterizations as found in natural settings. Keeping this definition of ethnology in mind, create an observational checklist, containing at least 10 items, to examine people within a social setting while completing a qualitative ethnology study. Using this observational checklist, complete an observational data collection by visiting a community venue, such as a shopping mall, a library, or college campus social area, in which people are readily seen in natural surroundings. Conduct a brief observational research study using your checklist. Consider how this experience differs from analyzing numbers when conducting quantitative research.
Note: Students are NOT allowed to approach/communicate with people for this assignment. The only method to be used is simply observing people in their natural environment and taking appropriate notes. Contact and communication with observed subjects may result in a violation of Walden IRB policies.
Post by Day 4 your response to the following:
Describe your experience of conducting a brief observation and the experience of this form of data collection.
