Observation In Observation

The topic studied in this naturalistic observational research study was called “pick me up.” The purpose of this study was to place a note card on the ground labeled “pick me up” and observe the type of person that picked the card up. The research question was “Which gender will pick up the card more and which gender will react more?” The researchers had three hypotheses: (1) More women will smile when reading the card than men, (2) More men than women will notice the card and continue walking, and (3) More men than women will notice the card.

My observation locations are Starbucks and restaurant. I chose them as my observation location because those are the places where people normally talk, study, socialize and interact in a casual manner.

Murphy’s essay tries to convince the reader that cell phones are limiting and distracting. He compared

In such a short period of time people now seem more absorbed by these objects which are meant for communication but at the same time separate people from each other and shape the way people communicate. It is almost as if everyone was from a different country and did not know how to communicate with each other. My main focus on this project was the dining halls but since I currently live on a ten story building here on campus I could also notice this same behavior of using phones in the elevators. People usually walking in listening to music or with their phone, and the eye contact is kept to the minimum. Nobody says anything but a very few amount of people who say a greeting when they walk in. So with the observations on the elevator I saw that this behavior was not only displayed in dining halls, but basically everywhere and because everyone has these items I could notice it even while I was walking to my classes. Some people did not even pay attention to where they were walking because of being focused on a phone. In the most extreme cases I saw people on hover boards while using their phone which is life-threatening for the user and people around

In the article "Our Cell Phones, Ourselves," by Christine Rosen, she explains the dependency on cell phone use while highlighting unforeseen consequences that may occur with cellular device use. From allowing parents to track down their children, to having a casual conversation with a friend, cell phones offer people an unparalleled level of convenience. Furthermore, cell phone owners feel much safer knowing that in an emergency, help is just a phone call away. This convenience, however, does not come without any negative effects. Many cell phone owners become too engrossed in their phones and therefore ignore the physical world, an idea that Rosen refers to as "absent presence.” Also, people may use their phones as a way to prove they are

Technological advances during the last fifty years of human history have given billions of people instant access to unprecedented communication methods. Individuals are no longer limited to letter writing and sending telegrams to convey a verbal message. E-mails, text messaging, video chat, instant messenger, and various social media outlets are all platforms for human communication in the modern world. One of the most significant communication devices to surface from the technological serge is the cellular telephone. Every individual with a cell phone has the ability to call any person, place, or agency at anytime as long as the individual is within the service provider's coverage area. The prevalence of cell phone owners has increased the use of cell phones in public places, such as schools, restaurants, and theaters, and their use in public is associated with both positive and negative implications. Some argue cell phones should be banned from public places because they are a social distraction, inhibit the user from being able to focus properly, and can cause safety concerns by interfering with airplanes and hospital equipment. Despite the negative impacts associated with cell phone use in public places, cell phones must be allowed in public for safety reasons, emergency scenarios, and to support the individual's right to personal freedom.

On 10/11/2015, at approximately 2227 hours, your Affiant observed a blue Chevrolet Cruze driving (eastbound) in the wrong direction in the unit block of West Coal Street; which is posted One-Way. Your affiant observed the vehicle turn left (north on Ferguson Street) and proceed to Washington Street.

Our group has decided to do a naturalistic observation, observing and recording behavior in naturally occurring situations without trying to manipulate and control the situation, and a survey, a technique for ascertaining the self-reported attitudes or behaviors of a particular group, project. For naturalistic observation we decided to observe the amount of people that when in a restaurant decide to get on their phones instead of talking to one another. Our theory, an explanation using an integrated set of principles that organize observations and predicts behaviors or events, is that people who tend to communicate better at home are less likely to use their phones in a restaurant, and our hypothesis, a testable prediction often implied by

Past studies have shown that pedestrians who used a phone while crossing the street are likely to experience a decrease in situational awareness, attention distraction and unsafe pedestrian behaviours (Nasar & Troyerb,

This paper has aimed to evaluate the course of events that when working in rotation can facilitate effective teaching and learning. It has highlighted the planning, teaching, evaluating and assessment cycle, which is ever revolving helping practitioners to plan, evaluate and assess their pedagogic practice. It has underlined the importance of planning and assessing in teaching practice. It has considered concrete strategies to use during this cycle and studied these events when critically analysing current assessment theory. Through theory and practical evidence it has attempted to show that levelling and grading has to be fair and accurate to enable each and every pupil to receive the education that they deserve. Throughout this paper it has

With 87 percent of American adults owning a cell phone (Jerpi, 2013), it becomes obvious that cell phones have become a staple device in today’s society. Although cell phones offer convenience, they arguably come with negative affects. Cell Phones have become one of the fastest emerging technologies (Campbell, 2006). With 87 percent of American adults and teenagers owning a cell phone (Jerpi, 2013), it becomes obvious that cell phones have become a staple device in today’s society. Since the release of the first cell phone, they have immensely evolved and some would say, have become an essential to everyday life. Although cell phones offer convenience, they arguably come with negative and impactful effects on our social

Tatiana responded well to the intervention. Tatiana was able to explain what she has learned from the intervention. Tatiana continues to make progress with her goals. Tatiana stated, that people will trust each other, value the other person opinion, listen, and have respectful disagreement without screaming or insulting each other. Tatiana stated, that building trust with parent means respecting that parent, following through with rules, and being obedient. Tatiana stated, that not to lie, and do not manipulate. Tatiana stated, trues, being reliable and can be counted on. Tatiana stated, that lying, not cleaning her bedroom, talking too much on cell phone, and wanting to go out with friends. Tatiana stated, no, parents can be educated on teen

My hypothesis is that devices have decreased co-location and increased co-presence is more prevalent in airport terminals. Before my research, my assumption was that the desire to disengage from the physical location was great because of the limited amount of ways that the airport terminal has to occupy time. I assumed that if there are people in the public space, most will be engaged or preoccupied with their technological device rather than engaging one another. I observed people ages 20-65, ranging from college students to retirees. I noted their reactions, their electronic device usage, their interactions (if any), and in specific cases, their conversations. I took the first study at 9:00 PM on Friday, March 21 at the SFO terminal. During this day I saw “single” young adults, a mom with her daughters, a Cantonese family, a father and daughter, and an old couple. I took

My first thought about this subject was that it would be really fun and exciting because of the subject's description, "Observational Child Study", where we can already experience actual child observation. Fortunately, I was right. Our professor tackled amazing topics that really served as an eyeopener. We encountered topics about the characteristics of some of the disabilities like autism, attention deficit hyperactive disorder, learning disabilities, and also, developmental delays. We even had the chance to test ourselves using the checklists or the assessment tools used for assessing children with special needs. Observation is the main point of our subject. Our professor discussed some of the tips on how to observe children in a proper way. Narrative report was also included in the process. We made written reports about the 10-minutes observations we made from employees we've

The purpose of this study is to determine the influence of cellphones to humans’ lifestyle,
