aduate school in Maine, to help me carry out my study.MethodologyIn conducting my research I will use the triangulated study, which is a study that uses multiple data collection technologies designed to measure a single concept or construct (data triangulation.)The first type of study I will be using is Quantitative method. The direction of this method I have chosen is the self-report studies. I feel by using this method I can then start my study with a broad generalization in result being able to count the times Greeks consumed alcohol compared to athletes. This gives me a starting point from collecting the data from the self-reports I will be able to go in the direction where I could get more information about the drinking habits of an individual type scale on a typical college weekend. Also by using this broaden type of method, it should steer me towards the type of questions I will be asking my interviewees. Showing the interviewer was to probe and push to see if this is a normative behavior amongst their social group. The only downfall to this type of sampling is the possibility of a low response rate, which can be highered by second mailing notice.My second approach I will use a Qualitative Method. Since I will already have used a method that gave me broad generalizations, I will now use a method that will focus on what an individual drinks in a weekend. The type of qualitative method I will use is the in-depth interview. By giving me a chance to see these types or athletes and Greeks it will give me an understanding of how much they truly drink and if it varies depending on the week or if the drinking habits are fairly consistent. By conducting an interview I will also understand what makes this practice so enticing and desired. The disadvantages are the reality of in-depth interviews are time consuming and sometime costly. By conducting these interviews will also hopefully open up the gate, allowing me to observe what goes on in...
