Topic: ﻿ To much Pressure!

Problem: Are adolecent boys affected by peer presure more than adolecent girls? =﻿(at least 150 adolescents)=

Materials: -adolecent boys and girls. -a list of questions ( ones where the answers are usally affected by peers.) -recorded answers of the questions being answered in public, and in private. -Questions: 1) How do you feel about taking alcahol? 2) What is your favorite kind of music do you like best? 3)Do you play with dolls/action figures? 4)How do you feel about yourself?

Procedure: ﻿ -get as many adolecent boys and girls as you can. (the same amount for each group) -develope your questions. -take half of the boys and girls in a public area and ask them questions. Then take the other half and ask them questions in a private area. Do the same with the girls.

Hypothosis: I belive that the adolecent boys will be affected by peer preasure more.

Journal #1 Journal Entry March 17, 2011: Today I wrote the materials and procedure for my science fair experiment. I have decided to investigate peer preasure. It seems to be a problem amoung many adolecents. I would like to see if boys are more affected by preasure than girls. Hopefully after people see my project they won't feel as preasured to answer questions or act a certain way. Journal #2 Journal Entry March 29, 2011: Today I wrote the Hypothosis and started to gather my test subjects, and start to develope my questions. I already have a rough idea of what questions to use but today i will develop them in more detail.

Journal #3 March 30, 2011: ﻿ Today a wrote some questions for my experiment and have stared recruting people for my experiment.

Journal # 4 April 5,2011: Today I will start on my abstract and start asking adolecents the develpoed questions.
