behavior patterns of gay men what makes a behavior feminine

What you need to be careful of is stereotyping this group of people; doing so can place your own subjective biases on these groups. Additionally, unless you can assess group participation that is more representative, your restricted selection of this particular group of gay men (that are out, and that you are aware of their sexual orientation) will not accurately depict the behavior patterns of all gay men. In addition, if you are interested in exploring feminine behaviors within in this specific sample, you would need to develop a typology of behaviors that are objectively feminine – what makes a behavior feminine? This will require extensive research on the construct of femininity and the expression of femininity and masculinity. The way you have this situated will work to reinforce unfortunate stereotypes, and therefore you need to reorient your research and question to ensure you do not reinforce these social distinctions on this group of people.

Based on your initial observations and written analyses completed for ASSIGNMENT 1, develop a specific research problem/question to be further investigated (i.e. the variation in behavior of males versus females when entering a store with a glass store front.

2) Identify the key variables you are going to be investigating, and develop an operational definition for each of them. (this should include at least two variables, but not more than four). Your operational definitions will help to provide parameters for how to record variations in your observations.

3) Write a hypothesis for what you expect to observe in your second round of observations.

4) Repeat observations. This should be done at the SAME social setting as in ASSIGNMENT 1 at approximately the same time of day (if you can do this one or two weeks later on the same day, it would be great!)

5) When you have returned from you observation, type up your notes. Review your notes for patterns in behavior, socio-demographic characteristics, etc. AND how they corresponded with your expectations/hypothesis

6) Describe observations using ‘thick description’ of the location (i.e. building you were in (what is the architecture like), descriptions of people there (in terms of socio-demographic characteristics: age, race/ethnicity, gender, socio-economic status), sounds, smells, temperature, time of day and week, etc);

7) Analyze your observations in terms of how they supported/did not support your hypothesis.

8) What is a possible sociological/theoretical explanation for the trends you observed? This is best done by using our textbook and other sources to provide credibility to your analyses. Analyze your observations using a minimum of 6 sociological concepts and two theories from the textbook.

9) Discuss the differences between your inductive observations and your deductive observations. How did the way you were observing change? How did what you observed change?

10) Briefly describe and compare your thoughts/feelings in the two steps. Did you prefer one approach to the other? Why/why not?
