Final Summary/ Reaction

This survey was very interesting to me! 20 people completed my survey and the results were basically what i expected. For example, the first question was," If you found out someone was having a baby shower and they did not know the sex of the baby, what colors would you expect the color scheme to be?" I assumed that most of the answers would be pink and blue but 12 people said green and yellow. Something else that surprised me was i asked what toys do girls play with and it was a free response, every single person said dolls. I was so surprised that someone did not say that, or said something different. I think these results will prove my hypothesis that children's stereotypes are formed by the environment that they grow up in.

I have finalized my survey and i am getting ready to give it out. I made it on google docs so I might just share the link on my twitter to make sure I get a very wide spectrum of results. The survey has many different types of questions and i think that the results will be very interesting. I asked questions about jobs, colors, toys and even clothing. I think that from the answers I get from these questions, I will be able to prove my theory that the stereotypes children have come from the environment they grow up in.

Week 2 Blog

I have decided that for my project i am going to conduct a survey. In the survey i am going to ask questions about common things that people associate with different genders. I will ask about gender roles, jobs, colors and even clothing. I will give my survey out to 20 different people. The age group will range from 13-58. I think that the answers from my survey will show how people really develop into who they are because of the people they grow up with and the environment in which they grow up. I think that if I survey people from all different age groups they will all respond differently. Especially when parents show strong gender stereotypes there children will be raised with the same gender stereotypes. I think that this survey will show very interesting results.
