With or Without You

Overview

Objectives/Goals The objective of this study is to determine if a person's gender and their biological parent's relationship status impacts their main focus. Methods/Materials 80 High schoolers (20 male with parents together; 20 male with separated parents; 20 female with parents together; and 20 female with separated parents) will be tested. There will be a paper of 10 drawings: 5 female-oriented images (emotional) and 5 male-oriented images (materialistic), which they'll be looking at for 15 seconds. Once time is up, they will write down 5 things they remember seeing without receiving any help. Results Between both genders, I have learned that there is no difference, and that many have remembered more female-oriented images. I assumed those with their parents together would focus more on male-oriented images since they already experience love and affection from having their families together. Conclusions/Discussion With this experiment, I have learned that a parent's relationship status does not determine what a child focuses more on.
