This is a Power Point presentation showing the results of the questionnaire I got the students of Salford City College Eccles Centre to fill in. It is part of my Primary Research to support my conspiracy magazine and on-line blog.
2. Introduction For my Extended Project I am delving into U.F.O.s and Aliens for one of four conspiracy topics. I have done in-depth secondary research using a wide range of sources. E.g. Internet, Books, Magazines, YouTube and Newspapers. After completing my Secondary Research, I have began to undertake Primary Research.
3. Introduction (continued) I have designed a questionnaire and got students of Salford City College Eccles Centre to complete. I got them to complete these in the ‘Tutorial lessons’ and return back to me via the class tutors. I was astounded at the response which was overwhelming! Sample of Questionnaire
5. Question 1 As you can see that of the 75 students I asked, there was a marginal difference between the sexes. The majority of the students were female.
6. Question 2 With this graph you can clearly see which age is most apparent. The age that was most applicable was 17. 16 was second. 18came third. The rest consisted between 19 to 22, but was minimal.
7. Question 3 An overwhelming 79% of student did know what U.F.O. meant. www.legjoints.com/.../ufo-whitehouse1.jpg
8. Question 4 The majority of students asked didn’t believe in U.F.Os I think this is because they have never looked into them or just impartial.
9. Question 5 A huge 46 of the 75 questioned strongly disagreed of witnessing a U.F.O. Age: The age range was between 16 to 21. The life experience is relatively short. Location: Most people questioned lives in densely populated suburban areas. Light pollution is a massive factor. It has been noted that people in the countryside look at the night sky a lot more than built up areas.
10. Question 6 Again the age range points to a shortness of life experience. It interesting that the second in the results was strongly agree. Maybe their parents or older relatives have witnessed this phenomenon?
11. Question 7 I was quite surprised at this particular result. The majority of people asked had a neutral view on this statement. Maybe they wasn't aware of the Roswell Incident so couldn't comment?
12. Question 8 As in the previous question the majority of people were neither in agreement or disagreement. If they didn't know about the Roswell Incident they would not be able to make a connection between the two. Interestingly enough, 19 people did have strong beliefs that Area 51 does have U.F.Os/Aliens recovered from Roswell.
13. Question 9 There appears to be a definite split of opinion on this matter. Although the winner is in no doubt ‘strongly agree’, close second came ‘strongly disagree’.
14. Question 10 Airline Pilot was most believable. I think this is because they are in a profession where they are in the sky for the majority of their job. The least believable source for witnesses was Government Official. Maybe this is because they are notoriously infrequent with talking the truth?
15. Question 11 Beings from other planets was a clear favourite explanation for aliens. Humans from the was least believable. However there was a considerable slice of the people questioned that thought aliens were non existent.
