Progress on Paper 4

Up to this point, I have chosen both my topic and the theory I plan to use. The topic I plan to use is people's attitudes towards eating healthy and I am using the Social Cognitive Theory.  So far I have begun my survey and gathered ideas together to produce a variety of questions related to demographics and the influences behind eating healthy.  What I am working on now is narrowing down and perfecting the questions before publishing the survey.

  1. I like the idea you are working, it will be easy to get a lot of great feedback from your survey takers. I know a little about the social cognitive theory and I think it will work well with your topic.

  2. This is a good start for starting your survey. You seem to have everything in order and now all you have to do is produce a survey so you can conduct an analysis within your essay. Just be sure to provide a variety of types of questions so you'll be able to understand the point of view of the individual participating in the survey.

  3. Your eating healthy topic is a very good one to use. It should be easy to receive accurate feedback from your respondents. It seems like you are on the right track to a great paper.

  4. The theory you chose seems to be perfect for your essay topic. This topic seems as if it will be able to produce you some very good, feedback to whatever you want to know. However, when I was taking your survey I didn't quite understand what you meant when you asked "Is your age a factor in what you eat?" So maybe you could have given an example of what you meant by that. Also, like Dr. Taylor said it may have been a good idea for you to ask ages of your participants because that detail might matter; since you didn't though this gives you something to add in the "short comings and improvement for further research" section in your paper. These are my three suggestions. Overall, you seem to have a really good plan on handling this assignment
