Your assignment is to observe and understand the social dynamics of jaywalking—defined narrowly for our purposes as "pedestrians crossing the street against the light at intersections." You are to make three separate observations of at least 15 minutes duration each.
Your specific tasks are to discover:
1. What are the characteristics of people who are the most likely to jaywalk and what are the characteristics of those least likely to jaywalk?
2. What are the characteristics of people who are likely to stimulate jaywalking by others? That is, what are the characteristics of those, when they jaywalk, who seem to be followed by people who were previously waiting for the light to change?
