1. Survey Project on Teenage Detachment

2. 1. Teens with game systems show less affection towards their parents than teens without game systems.

3. Results 1 Hypothesis was wrong
Most teens greet their parents no matter what
83% of students own a game system

4. 2. The declination of modern parental disciplinary methods allows teens to grow apart from their families easier.

5. Results 2
Correct hypothesis
Majority of students have strict or moderate parents instead of extremes
0% of students with very strict parents talk less than 1 hour
Opposite for parents that aren’t strict at all

6. 3. Boys are less likely to talk to their parents when they have problems than girls.

7. Results 3 Girls do talk with their parents more
Girls answered more evenly than boys

8. Methodology
- At first we did not know what questions to ask so we started off with easy ones like: how old are you? and what is your gender?
- We did not have a single problem; they just miraculously came to us as we were writing the survey. HA
- We didn’t really choose specific classes to survey. We thought that it would be better to survey upperclassmen because they would be more mature than underclassmen.
- I only got one question about the survey and that was from a girl that wanted to know if her brother has a game system than it would count as her owning one herself. Another time someone over analyzed the survey and pointed out that we should have put 1-2 hours instead of 1+ hours because 1+ hours could mean anything more than 1 hour.
- We have input from more juniors and seniors than underclassmen, so it will give less of an age range on the answers to the survey questions. We also interviewed 2 AP classes as well so we only had a single nonsense survey.
- Economic achievement doesn’t really change how much kids talk to their parents, they can be smart and still not talk to them anymore than kids that don’t get good grades.
