NCYS Organizations • Boys and Girls clubs • American Youth soccer • American Youth Football Is Youth Sport Changing? • "Let's go play" Kids used to play in the streets - with their neighbors, in front of their houses, in plain view of mom and dad. Weekends would find kids playing catch, throwing a scrungy old football around, pretending they were their quarterback hero. After school, until the mothers called "dinner is ready," the streets would be filled with kids of all ages, throwing and batting balls, playing hide-and-go-seek, roller skating, shooting marbles, jumping rope and sometimes getting into minor troubles. Cont. • There were chalk marks on the pavement, indicating home plate and the three bases. Foul lines were often the length of the gutters and a row of parked cars. Anything hit past the old Buick was a foul ball. • Jumping rope was fun and (little did anyone realize it) aerobic. Only the best got to do "double Dutch." • Over on the best part of the sidewalk the girls were playing hopscotch (boys rarely participated). The artsy girl would take her chalk and draw the hopscotch squares and if the neighborhood was upper middle class or beyond the squares were in different chalk colors. And each girl would have her favorite marker - most of the time their favorite key chain. Option 1: Paranormal INTRODUCTION The introduction section of the empirical report will be written. The introduction for this project focuses on the sociological perspective on the topic rather than previous research on the topic. So, no outside research is necessary for this assignment. In the Introduction, the student should address how sociologists from at least one theoretical perspective would explain (1) why some people watch supernaturally themed television shows and (2) why some people believe they have experienced paranormal phenomena. To earn higher than average scores all three theoretical perspectives will be included. Then, the student will explain how the theoretical perspective(s) explanations would lead to the following hypothesis, “People who have recently watched a supernatural themed television show are more likely to report experiencing the paranormal than those who have not recently watched a supernatural themed television show.†The following grading scale will be used: ï‚· All three theoretical perspectives explanations and how they lead to the hypothesis are present and demonstrate exceptional understanding = 9-10 points ï‚· All three theoretical perspectives explanations and how they lead to the hypothesis are present but with a few minor errors demonstrating above average understanding or o two of the theoretical perspectives explanations and how they lead to the hypothesis are present and demonstrate exceptional understanding = 8 points ï‚• All three theoretical perspectives explanations and how they lead to the hypothesis are present but with a number of minor errors demonstrating average understanding or o two of the theoretical perspectives explanations and how they lead to the hypothesis are present but with minor errors demonstrating above average understanding or o one of the theoretical perspectives explanations and how they lead to the hypothesis is present and demonstrate exceptional understanding = 7 points ï‚• Any variation of above demonstrating below average understanding = 6 points ï‚• Explanations missing demonstrating below average understanding = 0-5 points This will be the end of the Introduction Section. METHOD The method section will be written next and will be worth up to 10 points. The method section will include the following: 1) An explanation of the independent variable & its attributes worth 2 points 2) An explanation of the dependent variable & its attributes worth 2 points 3) A description of how the independent variable was operationally defined worth up to 2 points. 4) A description of how the dependent variable was operationally defined worth up to 2 points. 5) An explanation of the research method utilized and a specific description of how the data were collected worth up to 2 points. Please note: While the instructions are written in a list format, the Method section is to be written in paper form with paragraphs. This will be the end of the Method Section RESULTS Next, the results section should be written and will be worth up to 10 points. This section will include a table which reports the average (all three) paranormal activity rating experience by television watching type. The table will be worth up to two (2) points. After the table, a description of whether or not each average supports the hypothesis will be discussed. Each average will be worth up one (1) point, for a total of three (3) points. Then, an explanation of whether or not the averages overall support the hypothesis will be included for one (1) point. Next, the following correlation coefficient between watching supernatural themed television shows and reports of paranormal activity experience will be placed in the section: (.38**). The coefficient will be interpreted concluding with an explanation of whether or not the coefficient supports the hypothesis. The interpretation of the correlation coefficient will include the statistical significance (1 point), direction (1 point), and strength (1 point). The explanation of whether or not the correlation coefficient supports the hypothesis will be worth one (1) point. This will be the end of the Results Section. DISCUSSION The discussion section will then be written and will be worth up to 10 points. This section will include the following: 1) An explanation of the results based on the average and based on the correlation coefficient for up to 3 points using the following scale: Nice explanation = 3 points Either statistic missing or inaccurate = 2 points Both statistics missing or inaccurate = 1 point 2) An explanation of the implication of this research on our knowledge of belief in paranormal experiences in general for up to 4 points using the following scale. Exceptional explanation = 4 points Nice explanation = 3 points Adequate explanation = 2 points Minimal explanation = 1 point The implication of the research is a description of what this study contributes to our understanding of paranormal experiences in general. The implication is not a re- explanation of the results. It answers the following question; what do we now know about paranormal experiences that we didn’t before this study? 3) An explanation of the limitations of the study for up to 3 points using the following scale: Nice explanation = 3 points Adequate explanation = 2 points Minimal explanation = 1 point. Please Note: As with the Method Section, this section is to be written in paper form, not in list form. This will be the end of the Discussion Section. ABSTRACT The last content section to be written will be the abstract, though this is placed in the paper before the Introduction Section. This section will be worth up to 10 points. One (1) point will be based on meeting the sentence expectation in that this section will be a maximum of a five (5) sentence paragraph. If the section is more than five sentences and/or is placed in the wrong place, one (1) point will be deducted. The section will include the hypothesis for three (3 points) with all three (3) points deducted if not present. In addition, the section will include a description of the method used for up to three (3) points using the following scale: Accurate = 3 points Method there but inaccurate = 2 points No method identified, but it is described = 1 point The abstract will also include a description of the results found for up to three (3) points using the following scale: Accurate = 3 points Partially accurate = 2 points Inaccurate but present = 1 point. This will be the end of the Abstract REFERENCES This section will include any outside sources used (though none are necessary for this assignment) and the textbook/lecture if direct quotes are utilized in the paper. Failure to include either will result in six (6) points being deducted from the student’s Student Role Performance Expectations Grade. This deduction will be based on the student not meeting proofreading guidelines for the paper.

Sample Paper For Above instruction

Based on the core instructions, I will now craft a comprehensive, 1000-word empirical research paper addressing the sociological perspective on why some people watch supernaturally themed television shows and why some report experiencing paranormal phenomena. The paper will include the introduction from a sociological viewpoint, framing the discussion through at least three theoretical perspectives, and will explicitly state how these perspectives lead to the hypothesized relationship that recent viewers of such shows are more likely to report paranormal experiences. The methodology will detail how the independent and dependent variables are operationalized, along with the research approach used. The results section will include a table presenting average ratings, interpretations, and the correlation coefficient of r = 0.38**, including significance, direction, and strength. The discussion will synthesize findings, explore implications for understanding belief in the paranormal, and critique limitations. An abstract will succinctly summarize the entire study, including hypotheses, methods, and key findings. References will be provided, citing relevant sociological literature and credible sources related to media consumption and paranormal beliefs.
