Mason The “Big Five” Here are resources to use http://allpsych.com/psychology101/social_development.html For this assignment, you will spend time in public places where you feel there will be a good amount of older people and you will conduct unobtrusive observations (observing without letting anyone there know what you are doing). This could be a store, the train station, a mall (during the day there are often many seniors who go to the mall), or any other places you feel would be good. You may want to find a good spot where you can sit down comfortably and take notes. Spend at least a half-hour there conducting observations. During the observations you will take notes on patterns of behavior that you witness: Look at how older people behave as opposed to younger people. Look at differences between young-old and old-old. Look at differences between men and women. Do you see different patterns of behavior with different races, cultures, and socio-economic class? Look at how others (strangers/passerbys) treat them. Look for patterns of social groupings: Are people alone or with other people? How many other people? Are they of similar ages? Are they similar races? What about same perceived socio-economic class? Do the people with them seem to be friends, family, helpers (aids) or do they take on numerous roles (daughter and helper)? Also note any other unique behaviors or patterns of behavior that you saw. Describe and chart the behavior patterns you see. Besides what I asked you to look at in the above paragraph, see what connections you can make between what you see and what you read about in the book or in the additional articles/videos I posted. I expect to see at least 7 concepts and/or theories discussed and related to your observations The write-up should be a minimum of 2 pages, double spaced, 12 point font, 1” margins.
