Problem: Identify a behavior to observe (i.e. public transportation etiquette in NYC, families at play in a park, dog owners at a dog run, shoppers with friends, student behavior in the computer lab or library, pace of movement on your city's sidewalks, taxi-hailing practices, etc.), select a population and a location for the observation, establish a research question about the behavior, operationally define your variables, and devise a hypothesis. Go to the location and simply watch and keep notes. You are not to interact with people or intervene in any situation to manipulate the setting. You are not to ask anyone questions about their behaviors. Again, simply watch and keep notes. Need Assignment Help?
