What we wanted to know

Which gender was more prone to violate the ENTRANCE and EXIT policy of the LS Bookstore bygoing out the ENTRANCE door?

How we did itNaturalistic observation

we positioned ourselves strategically, and unobtrusively

Sarah sat in Bo’s Coffee

Lenny sat on the floor,

Miko was in the book reception area

Julianne and Miguel sat in the iStudio

How we did it

After being in our respective positions, we took record of different people who violated this policy and separated them by gender

The results were averaged for the final data, then analyzed

Our observationsFemales tended to violate as a group, males tended to do it alone

In general, people people did it after seeing a previous violation

Some, still however did it alone

Freshmen tended to violate (we knew they were freshmen thru the color of ID number)

Our observations

The entrance door being open served as a temptation to exit through it

When the door was closed, some still deliberately opened the door and exited through it

Results

Total number of people who exited properly: 553

Males: 287

Females: 266

Results

Results

Females: 9.83%

Conclusion

Both males and females are equally prone to violate the ENTRANCE and EXIT policy of the LS Bookstore by going out the ENTRANCE door.
