Variables•Texting–People texting on a cell phone would be a “yes” under the texting column–All others would be a “no” – including those who do not have a cell phone and those are talking on the phone and not textingVariables•Traffic Crossing Behaviors–People who carefully cross into traffic (look both ways; stop if others are present) would be a “safe” on the traffic crossing behavior row–People who do not carefully cross into traffic (do not look both ways; bump into other) would be a “risky” on the traffic crossing behavior row
•Participants–Who were the participants? How many did you observe?–
Note – we do not have participant data on these pedestrians but we usually would describe variables like age and gender in this section
Procedure–How did we collect the data? Be specific so that this study could be replicated–What were our variables? How did we operationally define our variables?–Did you collect data alone or in pairs?–Where did you collect data? What type of “traffic intersection” did you observe (pedestrian, bike, automobile)? –How long did you watch?–What time of day did you make your observations?
