Primary Research Protocol


The primary research that I have decided would go the best with my subject would have to be a survey. In the survey I intend to ask people that are 18 and up both male and female if they have ever watched a film that was intended for mature audiences while they were children around the ages of 12 and below. The place that this survey will mostly be held is in cyber space although I will also be asking around campus, to other people in my classes, to my friends, and to some of my family members. The reason I am doing this is because the other two options don’t make much sense. The subject that I chose is too broad to set up a interview with any number of people and it’s too large and time consuming in order to set up a observation. Doing a survey best get my question out to get enough answers to put together a good chart on the subject. I will conduct this survey in a simple manner of a yes or no question. It will either be “Yes I did watch mature rated films while I was a child” or “No I did not watch mature rated films when I was a child” simple yet straight to the point. With this research I want to see how many people actually watched programming that was actually meant for their age brackets seeing that children watching movies of mature content is currently on an upward trend.

  1. Sounds like a plan, Jesse. It might also be interesting to leave an open-ended question for respondents to put in any opinions about the topic as well. I'd be curious to see what everyone comes up with.
