Scaling Study - Healthy Eating Habits Between Genders
Scaling Study-Distinguishing Healthy Eating Habits between Genders
This study focuses on distinguishing the healthy eating habits between females and males in today 's society. Maintaining healthy eating habits are vital for both genders aiding the growth of the body, providing protection from diseases, helping to build a strong immune system, and it improves the functions of the body. Qualitative research methods have been conducted by using a survey. This survey consists of simple category scaling; multiple-choice, single response scaling; and likert scale summated rating. Quantitative methods of data analysis were used to determine the effectiveness of this study. Men and women should be aware of their unique set of nutritional needs. It may be assumed that men attach less importance to health when selecting their diet compared with women. The assessment of scale reliability is based on the correlations between the individual measurements that make up the scale, relative to the variances of the items.
Research Procedures The research design of this study included interaction and communication with five males and five females within the Cirque du Soleil family. Personal interviews were conducted and survey questions were issued to gain an understanding of these individual 's insight on healthy eating habits. Each participant answered the same set of questions and a mapping rule of either male or female were assigned. A closed, fixed response interview method was chosen to prevent any errors in respondent or situational factors. The split-half technique was used for internal consistency. According to Cooper & Schindler, when the two halves of the split-half technique is correlated, if the results of the correlation are high, the instrument is said to have high reliability. (Cooper & Schindler, 2011) The results of the personal interview and questionnaire were immediately recorded to avoid any sampling errors. Exploratory
