Methodology

Rationale for the process you are utilizing for studying your topic. //Specifically: Word document tracing what you are doing and why//

__April 9, 2010__ For assessing Maslow, I could ask very simple questions about the lives of the Eagle Scouts while growing up. For example, the first rung of the Pyramid is basic needs for life functions, such as sleep, food, and water. I could ask a question about their home life growing up, like how well off they were, if they were well fed due to parents’ income, and availability of goods in different areas. Then, for the next rung, which is security, I could also assess that with a question about home life as a child, as well as ask about their basic health care situation. There are many avenues I can take. Now, I’m not completely sure how I would ask questions to assess the SDT, which is why I plan to meet Mr. Weidner to see if he can shed some light, or point me in the right direction of sources I should focus on. Mainly, my main obstacle is drafting an effective survey, which is where I will need the most help.
