Research Strategy

My method is to do a naturalistic observation. My startegy is to go to public places and observe how different age groups are treated. I plan to go to a mall and enter many different stores to see if teens are treated differently than adults or if elderly are treated differently in different places. I also plan to go to restaurants and see how different age groups are treated there. I will record my observations and see how often ageism occurs. I plan to find out how frequent ageism really occurs in places that many people often go.
