Research Update

I have conducted my survey on 4 grandparents and 4 older adults and through only one generation, the results only differed slightly. I noticed more liberal, open minded views in the younger generation, but nothing as radical as one might hope.  I'm excited to learn and hypothesize why this might be, and survey more of my peers and then the children, discovering their points of view.

Details of the survey

I will ask 10 questions regarding homosexuality to four age groups:  four children between 5-13, four teenagers between 14-18, and four young adults between 19-40, and then finally, four older adults between the ages of 41-70.  The goal of this survey is to record their reactions and responses based on different ages and generations. Afterward, I will be able to come up with a hypothesis and explanation as to why certain age groups reacted the way they did.

Perception of Homosexuality Survey

For our second quarter project, I will be conducting a survey. During this survey I will be monitoring responses I receive from a variety of age groups. I've chosen this type of project because I am curious to see the difference between generations and their idea of what is right and wrong for gay men and women.
