Initial Goals:<\/strong><\/p>\n As a whole, from my survey I hope to learn about the perception<\/strong> and awareness<\/strong> of Santa Clara students view on sexism.\u00a0 In this modern age, people may be more inclined to believe sexism no longer exists since women\u2019s rights are much more equivocal.\u00a0 What my surveyors may not realize is that sexism still occurs<\/strong> in the world and on our own college campus. \u00a0Therefore, I want to understand their modern perceptions.<\/p>\n I am particularly interested in determining if the surveyors believe sexism still exists and if they are able to pinpoint when it does.\u00a0 I also hope that I am able to sample a group of people that is equal male to female<\/strong> because I think gender plays an important role in one\u2019s perception of sexism.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Design Theory:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n http:\/\/www.handicappeddoctor.com\/?p=784<\/a><\/p>\n When I created my survey I tried to keep in consideration people\u2019s time<\/strong> and interest in my survey.\u00a0 I limited my survey to 10 questions featuring predominately yes or no questions.\u00a0 While this was the primary type of question I used, I also variegated<\/strong> answers with short answer questions and likert scales.<\/p>\n In order to combat bias<\/strong>, I asked follow-up questions requiring an explanation for an opinion.\u00a0 Generally, it is harder for a person to hold steadfast<\/strong> to a bias when they are asked to explain their individual opinion.\u00a0 While this may not be the most affective way to avoid bias, it was the most logical to me when developing my survey.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Review:<\/strong><\/p>\n After conducting my survey, there have been a series of interesting trends<\/strong> emering particularly when comparing male and female perspective.\u00a0 First, I asked men and women whether they believed sexism still existed on college campuses.\u00a0 In this case, the 9 male participants unanimously agreed<\/strong> that sexism still exists while 24\/25 female participants believed in its existence.\u00a0 In total, 97%<\/strong> of my sampling believed in the presecence of sexism on college campuses.<\/p>\n Of the 34 participants, 9 of them are male and 25 are female. \u00a0Realistically, my survey data\u00a0would offer a better representation if each gender had equal representation.\u00a0 While this limits my survey, I attempted to minimize the effect of one gender having greater representation than the other by looking at percentages within each specific sex.<\/p>\n Have you ever been put in an uncomfortable position while on campus because of your gender?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n For example, one question asked,\u00a0“Have you ever been put in an uncomfortable position while on campus because of your gender?”\u00a0From this question the results showed\u00a0merely 12%<\/strong> more females had been put in an uncomfortable position because of their gender in comparison to males. \u00a0Additionally, there was data supporting\u00a056%<\/strong> of females have felt uncomfortable<\/strong> regarding something related to their gender while 56%<\/strong> of males had never been in a displeasing position due to their gender.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Initial Goals: As a whole, from my survey I hope to
