Due: July 30th
Written Report: Approximately 8-10 pages, font 12, double-spaced, use the bolded
subheadings in this outline to head each section/subsection. Write each question and the
response.
Please use this outline below:
Title Page:
1. Introduction (explain assignment; include your hypotheses* for this research)
*A hypothesis is a testable statement, something you can measure. Not more than a
sentence.
2. Adult Summaries from each of the 3 adult age groups (report on each person,
including all the questions asked). Do NOT use actual names or locations in this
report!
◼ Adult 45 – 60
◼ Adult 65 – 80
◼ Adult 85 and older
• General Questions for Each Interview
a) Demographic information: age, race/ethnicity, social class (include health insurance,
education, career, volunteering), gender, religion/spirituality, abilities and hobbies,
sexuality (as relevant), etc. (see above caution).
b) Could you tell me about your earlier life? (family, friends, career, important life
changes, successes and challenges)
c) What is especially significant about being your age?
d) What are the gains of being your age?
e) What are present or anticipated challenges of aging for you? (remember everyone is
aging/maturing/moving on….)
f) Has your gender and or race/ethnicity affected your life? Please explain.
g) What might you tell those younger about what you have learned in life?
• Additional Questions for Each Interview (add these)
Add 5 questions, open-ended (avoid yes/no responses; ask for examples/
clarification). Make sure these questions help you respond to your hypotheses
and the emphasis you are studying: either people of color OR women (or even
maybe both?)
3. Comparison
2
a) Compare each person with the others according to the various variables given.
b) Compare each person in terms of what you have learned from the Social
Gerontology readings giving information from at least 2 different chapters/ articles
in your readings. One chapter is the assigned people of color OR women’s chapter.
The second chapter is up to you (cite: chapter, p….).
4. Conclusion (based on what you have learned from each of these subjects as well
as from the Social Gerontology readings. How well did your hypotheses match
what you learned?).
