RESEARCH PROJECT HANDOUT
Psychology Of Women Dr. Margaret W. Matlin
Psychology 308 Department Of Psychology
Spring, 2007 SUNY Geneseo
Psychology Of Women Research Project
The Purpose Of This Project Is To Introduce You To Research About The Psychology Of
Women. You Are Not Expected To Conduct The Ideal, Perfectly Controlled Experiment. Instead,
I Hope That This Exercise Will Provide You With A First-Hand Experience Of The Kinds Of
Issues That Researchers Need To Consider And The Variety Of Challenges That Research Often
Presents.
The Projects Generally Fall Into Four Categories:
1. Archival Analyses, Or Quantified Inspections Of Magazines, Books, And Other Aspects Of
Media, Etc. A Typical Project Here Would Be Whether Males And Females Are Represented
Differently In The Illustrations In Elementary-School Mathematics Textbooks.
2. Questionnaires About Interests, Activities, And Beliefs. A Typical Project Would Be
Whether Students Think That A Wife Should Perform A Greater Portion Of The
Household Tasks Than A Husband Performs.
3. Naturalistic Observation, Or Recording Of Behavior In A Natural Setting. A Typical Project
Would Be To Determine Whether Girls And Boys Differ In Their Aggressive Behavior At A
Public Playground.
4. Experiments, With The Controlled Manipulation Of Variables. A Typical Project Would
Be The Study About Aggression, Described In The Preview On P. 2.
In All Cases, You Must Test At Least Three Hypotheses. Each Hypothesis Typically
Compares Two Numbers (E.G., “This Sample Of Mathematics Textbooks Will Show More
Males Than Females In The Illustrations.”).
