Results From Revamped Questoinnaire

the results from the students weren't quite what i'd expected in relation to the stereotypes i'd researched.

- they gave very limited answers wth no real clarity or reason behind them
- they were illogical with their decisions
- not many of them drive cars and those who did has no real say in why their parents got them for them. therefore i got limited responses in that section of the questionairre which is a really important part.

problems - i asked them very general questions leaving them a lot of room and freedom with their asnwers. however, they gave shitty answers. the problem is that if i gave them multiple choice questions then i would be limiting their options, certainly restricting the responses i'd get.
