(Applying the Concepts)

American Culture and Drug Abuse

Assume you are a member of the Family Research Council and have become increasingly concerned

about the drug use by professional sports players. You set up a plan and conduct a survey on how
people

believe the American culture (television, movies, magazines, and popular music) influences illegal drug

use. Your survey consists of 2250 adults and adolescents from around the country. A consumer groups

petitions you for more information about your survey. Answer the following questions about your

survey.

1. What type of survey did you use (phone, mail, or interview)?

Answer:

The type of survey that I used was through Phone because through this formation we can analysis the N
number of populations.

2. What are the advantages and disadvantages of the surveying methods you did not use?

Answer:

The advantages of the surveying methods that I did not used like mail was it was easy to send and it was
so private that the only responder might get it. Also, in an interview we can briefly explain and ask some
questions in our responders.

The disadvantages of the surveying method like mail were so difficult because other respondents might
not receive it. Also, because the Interview was so difficult this time and because of the pandemic it was
prohibited to have a conversation face to face.

3. What type of scores did you use? Why?

Answer:

I used ordinal data on a scale of 1 to 5. The scores were 1 strongly disagree, 2 disagree, 3 neutral, 4
agree, 5 strongly agree.

4. Did you use a random method for deciding who would be in your sample?

Answer:

The random method that I used was a random dialing method.

5. Which of the methods (stratified, systematic, cluster, or convenience) did you use?

Answer:

To include people from each state, I used a stratified random sample, collecting data randomly from
each of the area codes and telephone exchanges available.

6. Why was that method more appropriate for this type of data collection?

Answer:

This method allowed me to make sure that I had representation from each area of the United States.

7. If a convenience sample were obtained consisting of only adolescents, how would the results of

the study be affected?

Answer:

Convenience samples may not be representative of the population, and a convenience sample of
adolescents would probably differ greatly from the general population with regard to the influence of
American culture on illegal drug use
