QUOTE A University of Texas at Austin psychologist and his colleagues appear to have laid to rest the long-standing myth that women talk more than men. Their study of 400 male and female students in the United States and Mexico found that males and females both say about 16,000 words a day, or 17 words a minute during waking hours. another great statistic that gets labeled as 'research'. 400 students recorded 30 seconds out of every 12.5 minutes = 57.6 total minutes recorded/day each person was recorded for "up to" 10 days. and they claim they have debunked the myth in our society that women talk more than men, based on recording 4% of 400 student's days for "up to" 10 days. the things that get labeled as geniune research and rock solid results just baffle me nowadays. |

my statistics class had a very eye opening view on how typical 'research' and 'polls' are done. we had a class of 60 or so. he drew 3 random numbers and numbered the seats. he then asked those 3 people their views on subjects like abortion, religion, etc. of those 3, all 3 were pro-abortion, 2 believed in a religion, and there were various other questions/responses.
the results of his 5% (3/60) slice of our class: 100% pro abortion 67% believed in a religion, 33% did not he then had us all raise our hands on the subjects, and got something like 38% pro abortion, 82% believed in a religion and that is a 5% sample size. these people watched 400 students, and are applying their result to the entire countries of the US and Mexico (~400 million). you find no fault with this? |
