With the
data now submitted and available for analysis, we have discovered that the
majority of male subjects who participated in our study felt that “Carla,”
our fictional teenage girl, was making the right decision when she consented to
having sex. Unlike the males
however, the females generally agreed that Carla was making a mistake.
Our results confirm the general differences in the moral standards
between men and women when given a situation dealing with teenage sex. We believe it is fair to conclude that the men who
participated in our survey exhibited a far lower moral standard concerning sex
than the women. While most men
thought the situation was perfectly legitimate and healthy, most women felt
Carla was too young to be having sex. This
fact eludes to the fact that while age might matter to women, it generally it
does not with men.
If we
decided to conduct this survey again, we agree it would have been beneficial had
we had included a comment box for the participants to tell us their specific
thought and feelings. Had we been
able to understand why they choose to answer the questions the way they did, we
would have been able to draw more specific conclusions from our data.
