1. Introduction
Matters not if a person were to be working or studying. If a person were surrounded by
factors of distraction, that person will succumb to such a distraction in a midst of
concentrating in completing his or her task. One of the few distraction were hypothesized to
be peer group. Yet, such distractions are not to be confused with teamwork because
teamwork may have the same task as the person. The question of whether or not completing a
task alone is far efficient than working with a bunch of peers are to be researched.
Hypothesis
Through experience of studies and observation, it is most likely possible for a person to
succumb to this factor of distraction. Due to this, it is possible for students to be more
efficient in studying alone than in distracted condition.
Variables
Manipulated:
The type of peers they normally work with
Age
Approximate amount of people in a peer
Responding:
Percentage of getting a satisfied grades
Percentage of preferring to work alone or otherwise
Constant:
Their Age
Their Environment
Research Method
The research will use Quantitative and Qualitative method. Quantitative method will be used
to evaluate the level of distraction by using scales whereas Qualitative method will be used to
describe the types of peer group the volunteer have through description.

2. The survey will be prepared by the group. The entire survey will begin by asking the
volunteer’s name, age, gender and employment status. The next page of the survey will be
divided into four sections:
Understanding Peers- This is made for grouping in data collection
Situation- This is made to understand what the volunteer would respond
Aftermath- This is made to understand the efficiency of his respond
Opinion- What the volunteer suggests
The survey will be given to the volunteer after the volunteer agrees to fill in the survey. The
brief will be given to the volunteer but the purpose of the survey will be told after the
volunteer fills in the survey.
Ethical consideration
As “noble scientist”, rules were made to respect the generosity of the volunteers for aiding
the research.
1. Volunteers are free to reject filling in the survey if they find the survey either too
personal, offensive or sensitive in the middle of the survey or before the survey
2. Volunteers must be informed about the purpose of the research and the brief of filling
in the survey
3. No foul swears or offensive words are used. Tone of speaking must be polite to
volunteers.
4. The questions within the survey must not be too personal or relate to any sensitive
issues such as racism, politics, religion and so on
