1. 10 points: Based on your results from Tables 1 & 2, briefly describe the activity patterns you observed? Were there any contributing factors? Were boys more active than girls? (You do not need to go over the entire sample, just provide highlights and go into detail on one or two areas that were most interesting). [4-6 sentences]. Based on the data males were typically more active than females in intensity and frequency of activity. The data also shows that in outdoor unenclosed areas individuals were more active, but this increase in activity was not evident in less popular areas such as the Indian mounds and quad opposite library. The energy expenditure rates were also influenced by the number of individuals in each area at the time of observation, for example two individuals may have been very active at the parade grounds, but the area inside Middleton could have a higher energy expenditure rate for six individuals …show more content…
10 points: Summarize all the data and provide a percentage for the amount of time spent in: Sedentary activity (lying, sitting), light activity (walking), moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA; walking and vigorous) and vigorous physical activity (VPA; vigorous).

During observation 43.33% of individuals were involved in light activities like standing or walking. 43.33% of individuals were also participating in moderate to vigorous activities such as walking or a more vigorous activity, but only 10% of individuals were participating in only vigorous activities. 2. 10 points: Briefly describe the total group’s behavior and then specifically for males and females. What was the most prominent activity you observed?

This test is selected as the research question is looking for the association between is NIofH Hypertension Category which is the independent variables and ordinal level of measurement and engagement in weekly moderate activity which is the dependent variable and is nominal level of measurement (Loiselle et al., 2011). There are two different samples and the researcher is interested in if there is an association between the two samples. A Chi-Square for independence test looks at the association between two samples that are both of a categorical level of measurement (Salkind, 2013). Lastly, the statistics assignment seven outline provided a cross tabulation SPSS output of frequencies and a Chi-Square test output. The SPSS output has four columns that consist of the independent variable NIofH Hypertension Category and two rows that consist of the dependent variable engagement in weekly moderate activity (Salkind, 2013).

In addition to that, their ability and motivation to exercise decreases with age. In fact, many women reported other barriers related to gender, financial, and social support.

According to developmental psychology a person at any age is at a certain stage of cognitive, moral, psychosocial, and physical development. This development is measured by different types of thinking, mental capacity for tasks, physical strength, and reasoning for following rules. Development is easily seen in children. Naturalistic observation is the one of the easiest method to see these developments in children. This is the observation technique I used, while watching a five year old male at Kindercare Daycare at 3:30 on a Friday.
Over the past few months, the class has been discussing typical and atypical language development and the assessment and intervention of children with language delay or disorder. In line with this, the students were asked to observe children aged 0-12 years old with language problems for 2 hours. For this requirement, I went to a therapy center situated in Quezon City last November 16, from ten (10) A.M. to twelve (12) N.N. The center has multiple rooms that are used for speech therapy and occupational therapy. During my observation, two speech pathologists and two children with language disorder were sharing one speech therapy room.
For the parent-child interaction observation, I decided to use my community park as the public setting. My observation consisted of watching the interaction of a mother and her two sons, who seemed to be twins around the age of six or seven years old. I observed the interaction from afar without them being aware that I was observing, which allowed me to note a true naturalistic observation without manipulation of the situation. The setting of the interaction was a community park, where a mother and her two sons of Indian ethnicity, were approaching a basketball court area. The mother began to strap a helmet on one son because he was about to ride his bike, while the other son was walking alongside them holding a basketball.

While it is good that American’s are busy working, many of those hours working are sitting behind a desk. The most movement they get is moving their fingers on a keyboard. Therefore, after a long day of not much physical activity, American’s go home and continue to just sit around and do nothing. Simply, because that is all they did throughout the day. If American’s are more active in their job throughout the day, they tend to go home and continue to be more active.
On Wednesday, March 15th I went to Christ the King to observe a child in preschool. The child I observed was a female and she was four years old. While I was there I observed her physical development, social and emotional development, thinking skills, and communication skills.

The classroom that I will be observing is a Preschool classroom at KinderCare Learning Center in Bartlett, Illinois. The teacher I will be observing over the next period of time is Laura Sturgulewski. She has worked at KinderCare for 8 years, mostly in the 2 year-old room until fall of 2013, when she took the lead teaching position of the Preschool classroom. Her classroom mainly has 3 year-olds, but on occasion has a mix of 4 year-olds and transitioning 2 year-olds. The number of students in her class depends on the day, because they are a child care center some students have a part time schedule, unlike an elementary school where children attend every day.
