Task: Using the social research method presented in class, you will create and implement on 8-question interview and prepare a formal case study based on your participants responses.
Find a couple who is in a long term, committed relationship and conduct an interview with one or both parties about how they met.
We will design an 8-question interview together and gather data on: how the couple met, their thoughts and feelings when they first met the other, how they knew they we interested in the person, the qualities that first attracted them to that person, whether they had a preconceived idea of what they were looking for
Additionally, ensure you gather data that will help you determine variables (age, gender, sexual orientation, race/ethnicity etc.)
Make notes on how the interview was administered (were both parties present? This can affect the reliability of your data.
Also, ensure anonymity by just using their first initials, to protect the subjects privacy.
3. Use the research method learned in class to administer your interview and analyze the data you have collected.
To analyze your data, use the family theories on human attraction and coupling to explain the anthropological, social, or psychological factors that may have contributed to their coupling.
4. Prepare your case study to present your findings.
Ensure that you are using the theories and concepts to explain their coupling, and not just explaining the theories.
Submit your assignment in the following order: student designation information, interview questions, anecdotal notes (variables, responses), then present your case study.
