PILOT STUDY STATEMENT

1. test your proposed methods, and determine which methods would work well and which might need to be changed were you to do a larger study on your research question. (You do not need to decide on specific methods now, for the planning statement, only the general methods you think you’d like to use).

2. help you predict three findings, based on the results of the pilot study, for the “Anticipated Findings” section of your final research proposal.
Your pilot study must be ethical (i.e. not include high-risk groups such as minors or inmates) and also small and realistic enough to complete in two weeks!

Possibilities (all studies must take place in Orange County, San Diego County, Riverside County or Los Angeles Country – California):
1. A few interviews (no more than four) of people from the group you would like to study. E.g. underrepresented groups, low income and first generation students with regard to the history of Larry P. v. Riles.
2. A simple, harmless experiment with small groups of people representing the target population for your study.
4. Observation or participant observation at one or two events, or at the same location several times.
5. A content analysis of two or three social or cultural artifacts related to your research question.

To ensure that you have appropriate participants selected for a small, realistic, and ethical pilot study, you must select those participants or artifacts now. Find potential artifacts, or contact potential participants (or a representative of those potential participants) to ask them if they’re willing to participate in your pilot study. Be sure to let them know that this is for a class assignment, not for publication, and that you will maintain confidentiality (you might mention giving them pseudonyms) and, if possible, anonymity. Also let them know that the study will need to take place before your Pilot Study Paper is due. Set some general plans for your pilot study (which you can change later if needed).

1. What methods are you thinking of choosing for your research proposal?
2. Why are you choosing these methods?
3. Which of these methods are you following for your pilot study and why?

Once you have participants (students, relatives, other instructors etc) who agree, write a statement of approximately two pages. Make sure your statement includes the following information:
1. Name(s) or pseudonyms of your participants. (Here, you can provide the name of a group or location, if more relevant, instead). Or the titles of your social or cultural artifacts.
2. How you know the participants, or how you found them. Or how you found or came to know of the social or cultural artifacts.
3. Why you’ve selected these participants, or why you’ve chosen these artifacts. (How might they help you answer your research question?)
4. Why you’ve selected the method (interviewing, surveying, conducting an experiment, content analysis or observation/participant observation) you have. (How might this method help you best answer your research question, or test the theory in your theoretical foundations section? Be brief).
5. Specific plans for when and where your pilot study will take place (time, date, place), (or when and how often, for a content analysis).

RESEARCH QUESTION:
Topic Intro: In the degree I chose, I will study issues related to the development of individuals, specifically children and families in social and cultural contexts. The classes I will take will be in human development, and personal growth in human relationships, marriage and family relationships and family ethnic and cultural diversity. I chose the degree program in Family and Human Development to gain an understanding of the impact of ethnicity, culture, gender and professional life on individual development and family interaction patterns. I really think about the development of individuals and families as they relate to their diverse social worlds. My research project focus will be on social inequality and the mechanisms behind social inequality that are heavily impacting persons of color in the United States. The discussion will be based on the concept of social inequality in terms of the effects of status, inequality based on differences in esteem and respect, alongside those based on resources and power. Furthermore, focus will be directed on how wealth, race, class, conflict and inequality impact families and overall human development. The research will in end focus on providing a summary on how the aforementioned elements that lead to social inequality affect life changes. Lastly, solutions will be given on how overarching inequality in the United States can be reduced and how equality can become a reality. Why do we have inequality in the United States? Most importantly, how can we get rid of it so we can have equality? Where did inequality come from? Why does it exist? Why does it continue? Do we justify inequality? Why? Can we eliminate inequality? How? Most importantly, can we make a society in which people are equal? How? Using a sociological approach will give the methodological and theoretical tools to begin to answer the questions relating to the research topic.

Grading for an A+

Case Study 2:
Isho is a 15 year old Assyrian refugee who arrived in Australia with his mother 5 years ago from Turkey. Isho and his mother are members of a minority Catholic group who experienced oppression in Iraqi. They sought refuge in Turkey 8 years ago from where they were able to gain asylum in Australia. Isho does not have any other family in Australia, but since arriving he has developed some friends through the local soccer club.

For the past 6 months Isho has been experiencing difficulty concentrating in class. His teachers have noticed that he has become quite isolated, not interacting easily with his peers. Isho is quite musically gifted and his piano teacher has also expressed concern that he is no longer as committed to his piano practice as he used to be.

Today the school counsellor (Geoff) has been informed by Isho’s English teacher (Mrs Bryant) that Isho has been seen hanging around a group of older men before and after School. Mrs Bryant has heard from other teachers that these men are rumoured to be active drug users. You are a student social worker at the School and Geoff has asked you to make contact with Isho. You have sent a note to Isho requesting that he come and see you today during lunch.
