Abigail J. Vera · Hueneme High School, Oxnard

Overview

Objectives/Goals To see which gender is more willing to break the law through a political survey Methods/Materials . 20 boys and 20 girls . 40 copies of a survey . pen/pencil I first created/designed a political survey comprised of a rough overview of the most recent political issues. Then I tested forty people (20 boys and 20 girls). Afterwards, I added up all of the answers and put them in a table in their appropriet categories (yes/no/depends). I then graphed the "yes" results and did a data analysis through a chi square. Results The male gender was more willing to break the law. There was a 9% difference betwenn the "yes" for the two genders. The boys had a total of 35.5% and the girls had a total of 26.5%. Conclusions/Discussion The male gender was more subject to negative social behavior than the female gender. The male gender was more willing to break the law according to the overall results from the survey.

Summary statement
