Consider how you could use a participant observation exercise in the future to study patterns in other social groups, such as with families, coworkers, or other organizations.  Explain how observing social patterns could help your interactions in a group. Give at least one reason why improving your understanding of group dynamics can help you to succeed in culturally diverse environments.

 
Part I – Participant Observation
Sociologists use research to collect information about society and apply their findings to everyday life to better understand the human condition. Sociologists can investigate people in their natural environments by becoming part of their everyday settings to observe and study participants.
Imagine that you are a practicing sociologist who is researching the behavior of social groups in social settings.
Conduct a participant observation in a setting where a group of people gather. Examples of places with groups include malls, grocery stores, libraries, restaurants, coffee shops, parks, schools, employee break rooms, parking lots, pubs, sporting events, or your local neighborhood.
Station yourself in a safe location where you can observe participants for 60 minutes without having to approach or engage the public. You are just observing people, not interacting with them.
Use the Field Study Observation Template to collect field notes on the following data about the individuals in your observation, as you perceive it:

Gender/sex
Race/ethnicity
Age

(Your numbers do not need to be exact, but try to make them as accurate as possible. You do not need to submit these notes with your assignment—they are only for you to reference to guide your observation.)
Part II – Reflection Report
Write a 525- to 700-word report about your observation. Include the following information:
1) Setting

Describe the setting for your observation, including the location, time of day (morning, midday, afternoon, evening), and weather.

2) Group Dynamics

What patterns of group behavior did you observe that may have been influenced by the setting?
What patterns of group behavior did you observe based on gender/sex?
What patterns of group behavior did you observe based on race/ethnicity?
What patterns of group behavior did you observe based on age?
Which cultural norms did you observe among your participants? Explain your answer in several sentences using at least one example.
What did you observe overall about the group dynamics of your participants? Explain your answer in several sentences using at least one example.
What social or economic factors might have influenced the group dynamics you observed? Explain your answer in several sentences.

3) Real-World Applications

Consider how you could use a participant observation exercise in the future to study patterns in other social groups, such as with families, coworkers, or other organizations. 
Explain how observing social patterns could help your interactions in a group. Give at least one reason why improving your understanding of group dynamics can help you to succeed in culturally diverse environments.

Evaluate factors that influence quality, safe, patient-centered care.
Consider:

Technology
Communication
Collaboration
Shared decision making
Laws, regulations, and policies

Analyze changes in technology and their effect on quality patient care.

What are some risks associated with research that involves chance? [Hint: Use your Reading this week and consider the risks associated with stem cell research, cloning, gene therapy, HIV.] Are there circumstances when research should not be conducted due to risks or are there ways to reduce risk?

What examples of learning by “happy accident” have you experienced in your own life?
What do you think it means for a person (especially a scientist) to have a “prepared mind,” as Pasteur describes?
How can a person prepare his or her mind to be open to chance within any particular discipline? What roles might education, job experience, and life experience play in creating a prepared mind?
What about science makes it particularly good at allowing people to analyze their accidents?

Recall your own childhood and the physical education lessons and classroom environment in which you participated.  Reflect upon and list several factors (either at home or school) that influenced your motivation to participate in physical education. Include any positive or negative effects.

Recall your own childhood and the physical education lessons and classroom environment in which you participated. 
Reflect upon and list several factors (either at home or school) that influenced your motivation to participate in physical education. Include any positive or negative effects.  If these factors had not been present, how might your lifestyle and current levels of motivation be different?

Do you think that kids from an urban working-class environment would have broken down emotionally in the same way as did our middle-class prisoners? Why? What about women?

Part A: Go to the following website www.prisonexp.org. Go through the website thoroughly and study the experiment described therein. When you are finished, go to the tab (on the website) labeled “Discussion Questions” and answer questions 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12 and 14 as completely as possible. Your responses should total between 1-2 original, non-plagiarized pages, with Times New Roman 12-point font, double-spaced.
Question # 3: What prevented “good guards” from objecting or countermanding the orders from tough or bad guards?
Question #4: If you were a prisoner, would you have been able to endure the experience? What would you have done differently than those subjects did? If you were imprisoned in a “real” prison for five years or more, could you take it?
Question #6: What factors would lead prisoners to attribute guard brutality to the guards’ disposition or character, rather than to the situation?
Question #8: What is identity? Is there a core to your self-identity independent of how others define you? How difficult would it be to remake any given person into someone with a new identity?
Question #9: Do you think that kids from an urban working-class environment would have broken down emotionally in the same way as did our middle-class prisoners? Why? What about women?
Question #12: Was it ethical to do this study? Was it right to trade the suffering experienced by participants for the knowledge gained by the research? (The experimenters did not take this issue lightly, although the Slide Show may sound somewhat matter-of-fact about the events and experiences that occurred).
Question #14: If you were the experimenter in charge, would you have done this study? Would you have terminated it earlier? Would you have conducted a follow-up study?
Part B: Would you follow orders of an authority figure? Watch the following clip and discuss the influence of obedience on our behavior. What factors in this video could have increased the likelihood that the victim and the others involved followed orders? What factors could have reduced the likelihood that all persons involved complied with the “authority figure?”
