CSEF · 2005 Behavioral Sciences

Sharya de Silva, Melanie Murphy, Kifah Shah · Palm Desert High School, Indio

Overview

Objectives/Goals To test how people's daily behaviors will be effected if given a certain amount of information, in this case, water conservation. Methods/Materials Collecting data and research on different strategies in which to test a person's daily habits by using a survey of ten questions. We used people, an informational brochure, and two surveys (one for before reading the brochure and one for after having read the brochure). Results The majority of the people we tested proved to be willing to change their opinions on water conservation after having been informed about the seriousness of the subject and its effects on the enviornment. Conclusions/Discussion We found that people would be willing to help the enviornment if only they were supplied with adequate information and research on that paticular subject.

Summary statement

We wanted to test people in order to see if they would be willing to help the enviornment if they knew more about that subject.
