Design two studies to answer the question boys will be boys. The first should be an experiment using qualitative form of analysis (questionnaire) and the second one should use qualitative analysis (observation). It could be made up or based on another study with some changes. It should have introduction and methods section, participants conclusion written up in form of essay. Main hypothesis and question should be included. Also what method of calculation(ttest qualitative or narrative analyses for quantitative) is going to be used to gather all the date for each experiment. It would be easier to create two groups of school children girls vs boys aged 10and create a simple condition with Independent and dependent variables and the run a ttest and the other one to be an observational or conduct interviews amongst boys and girls study decided are boys more aggressive than girls or something amongst these lines to answer the main question. The chapter is to provide some information but the experiments are the main requirement of this project.
