The survey was conducted on 100 participants to investigate perspectives on relationships after a breakup. It consisted of questions regarding remaining friends and interacting with an ex. The results showed that males tended to agree more that they would remain friendly with an ex, while females tended to disagree or be unsure. Specifically, more males agreed they would say hi, think of their ex as a friend, wish them well on occasions, and offer help. More females disagreed or were unsure about these. Overall, the results did not strongly support the hypothesis that couples usually remain friends after a breakup.

This document summarizes the results of a survey about a pamphlet for Johnstown Lift, an organization that works to improve the Johnstown community. Based on responses from 50 surveys, the pictures and logo were most likely to catch readers' eyes. Most respondents had not heard of Johnstown Lift before. The majority said they would follow Johnstown Lift on social media and consider volunteering with the organization if interested in community issues. Suggestions to improve the pamphlet included reducing lengthy paragraphs, better explaining the grants page, and including more information on how to get involved.
As a content creator, whether that be the written word or something prettier, it's important that you can be found by influential people in your target markets, but just how do you go about doing that?
The document discusses power-based personal violence and ways to promote non-violence through green dots. It defines power-based personal violence as actions like bullying, threats of harm, sexual assault, stalking, harassment, and controlling behavior. The document encourages participants to think about how violence has impacted people they love and how they can influence others positively. It provides examples of "green dots," or positive actions like speaking out against violence, designating sober friends at parties, and educating oneself and others on preventing violence. The overall message is that small, individual actions can help shift social norms away from violence and toward non-violence and consent.
The student conducted surveys about a pamphlet for Johnstown Lift and analyzed the results. Most answers were similar, but the "least common answers" provided additional useful information. For example, a few people said they wouldn't follow on social media due to graduating or not having accounts. The analysis of least common answers for questions about what stands out, improvements, and likes/dislikes revealed more detailed feedback. The student concluded the least common answers should be incorporated for a more detailed reworking of the pamphlet.

This document appears to be a research paper examining sexual relationships and satisfaction between male and female partners. It includes an introduction outlining the purpose of studying communication in sexual relationships. The method section describes conducting an online survey of 52 participants between ages 18-30 on their sexual experiences and satisfaction. The results section reports findings from the survey, including that most participants were Buddhist, had not yet married but were living together, and reported highest sexual satisfaction for males compared to females. The conclusion suggests more open communication between partners could lead to greater sexual satisfaction for both.
This document summarizes a study on perceptions of interracial relationships among college students in Malaysia. A survey was conducted with 100 students of varying races and ages at a private institution. Results showed that most participants were aged 19-24. Chinese, Indian, and other race participants generally had open-minded views of interracial relationships, as did their parents. However, most Malay participants did not mind relationships with other races but believed their parents would disapprove. Overall, the findings provide insight into attitudes toward interracial dating among different ethnic groups in Malaysia.

A survey was conducted with 100 students of varying races and ages at a private institution. Results showed that most participants were aged 19-24 and open to interracial relationships. However, Malay students indicated that while they were open to other races, their parents may not approve as much. Overall, participants tended to prefer partners of similar skin color and from nearby Southeast Asian or Asian countries that they were familiar with. The study supported the hypothesis that similarity, proximity and familiarity influence attractiveness and relationship choices.

The researcher surveyed 39 teenagers in Worthmanville, Guyana to determine the factors contributing to depression. Most respondents reported being depressed multiple times in the last two years. Traumatic experiences like domestic violence, death of loved ones, sexual assault and bullying were common and often led to feelings of loneliness and depression. Respondents felt pressure from school, family issues and broken homes contributed to their depression. Alarmingly, 65% of respondents had contemplated or attempted suicide due to their depression. The researcher recommends implementing suicide prevention programs and crisis hotlines to help those suffering from depression.

1) The study examined factors that influence mate selection among 100 participants. Kindness was the most important factor, followed by intelligence and physical appearance.
2) Most participants found an age difference of 1-5 years acceptable. Over half were open to long-distance relationships and interracial dating. Bad family background was a dealbreaker for most.
3) Opinions on online dating, speed dating and blind dating were mixed, with fewer participants willing to use these methods themselves compared to viewing them as viable options in general. Characteristics like kindness were seen as more important than wealth.
The document summarizes the results of a survey conducted with 100 participants about their preferences in a partner. The survey found that most participants believed characteristics were more important than physical appearance when choosing a partner. 51% of participants said they would not date someone based on attractiveness alone if they disapproved of their personality. Characteristics like intelligence and humor were seen as most appealing. While appearance can attract initially, the survey showed characteristics are what most value when considering a long-term partner.

Characteristics are generally seen as more important than appearance, especially for those seeking or in a relationship.
The document summarizes research on factors that influence mate selection. It presents results from a survey of 100 participants on their views of important qualities when choosing a mate. The top three most important factors were kindness, intelligence, and physical appearance. Most participants found an age difference of 1-5 years acceptable and over half were open to long-distance relationships or dating outside their race. Bad family backgrounds were a deterrent for most. Online dating and speed dating were not widely viewed as effective methods for selecting a mate.
This document discusses relationships and how they change over time. It begins by outlining key relationships in a person's life from birth through adulthood. [1] A person's first relationship is with their parents, who meet physical needs as infants. [2] Relationships then expand to include family members like siblings and grandparents. [3] As children grow, friendships form outside the family through activities like preschool and playgroups. The document stresses that building positive relationships requires skills like good communication and responsibility.
This document summarizes a study on gender differences in friendships. The study surveyed 20 men and 20 women ages 17-44 about their friendships. It found that while both genders have similar numbers of friends, men and women differ significantly in what they share and do with friends. Men primarily share activities like sports with friends and rarely discuss personal issues. Women spend significant time with friends shopping, eating and talking about all aspects of their lives. They view friends as those they can share secrets with. The study concludes friendships require more caring and trust to women than men, for whom shared interests and activities are most important.

This document discusses relationships and how they change over time. It begins by outlining key relationships in a person's life from birth through childhood and into adulthood. [1] Family relationships are the first and most important, starting with parents providing physical needs as infants. [2] Relationships gradually expand to include other family members, then friends through playgroups and preschool. [3] As people age, romantic relationships may form, which can lead to new families being started. However, relationships require work to thrive as situations, roles, and responsibilities change over time.
This document summarizes the results of an interview study conducted with 11 non-respondents to government surveys in Sweden. The interviews explored reasons for non-response from a qualitative perspective. Some key findings included:
- Some saw value in contributing if they understood how it could make a meaningful difference, while others did not feel it was important or would lead to anything good.
- Attitudes toward authorities and power influenced responses, with some expressing mistrust while others believed the government wants to do good.
- Experiences and knowledge of statistics varied, with some skeptical due to how questions are asked or outdated data is used to draw conclusions.
- Three types of non-respondents were identified based on
This document summarizes a research study on the use of value management in the Bruneian construction industry. The study aimed to identify problems and solutions to implementing value management, as well as understand design teams' perceptions of it. A questionnaire survey was distributed to 233 professionals, with 72 responses received. The results showed that a lack of local value management guidelines and standards was identified as the main reason it is not widely used. Adequate training was seen as the most significant solution. Most respondents felt that value management is not encouraged enough and its application is uncertain. This suggests developing value management should be a priority.
This document presents a feasibility study for a proposed mixed residential and commercial development in Puchong, Selangor, Malaysia. It analyzes the development under a "sell-then-build" concept, finding it generates a positive net present value of RM8.5 million, indicating viability. However, analyzing the project under a "build-then-sell" concept finds it would result in significant negative cash flow, requiring additional financing and increasing costs such that the developer's profit would decrease from 43% to 34.5%, rendering the project unviable. The use of a build-then-sell model is therefore not recommended for this development.

The document discusses remedies available to a contractor if the employer fails to pay for three interim certificates issued by the architect. The contractor can: 1) suspend work until payment is made, as non-payment without reasonable cause is a serious breach of contract; 2) claim interest on the unpaid amounts; and 3) if non-payment continues, terminate their own employment, as allowed by clauses 30.7, 30.17, and 26.1(a) of the contract.
This document outlines a research proposal investigating the perception of value management in the Bruneian construction industry. The background provides context on value management, noting its introduction to Brunei in 1999-2000. The problem statement indicates that while value management offers benefits, its application is still limited in Brunei over 15 years later. The objectives are to investigate why value management is not widely used, explore solutions, and identify designers' perceptions. The research design and program involve literature reviews, questionnaires, and data analysis. The introduction concludes by emphasizing the importance of understanding perceptions to promote wider value management application in Brunei.
The document provides an overview of 5 BIM software programs used for quantity surveying: Nomitech CostOS, Exactal Cost X, Vico Takeoff Manager, Glodon TAS, and Buildsoft Cubit. It describes the key functions and limitations of each software. CostOS, Cost X, and TAS allow generating quantities and cost estimates directly from 3D models. They provide accurate measurement and integrated cost databases. However, some like Cost X require users to self-prepare bills of quantities. Overall, the software programs aim to improve efficiency, accuracy, and collaboration for quantity surveying tasks through model-based measurement and reporting.
This document discusses several quantity surveying software applications, including Glodon (TAS), Buildsoft (Cubit), and their key functions and limitations. Glodon (TAS) provides a full set of BIM-based solutions focusing on BIM application throughout the construction project lifecycle. It offers more accuracy and convenience than other BIM software. Buildsoft (Cubit) allows accurate take-offs by taking quantities directly from plans on the same screen and plays well with other software packages. However, both software require powerful computers and have licensing limitations.
This document summarizes a student's experience with a community service project involving organizing games and activities for children at an orphanage.

During the event, the student took photos and videos and later spent time editing over 200 video files into a 10-15 minute recap video. The student enjoyed seeing how much the children engaged with and enjoyed the activities, and learned that community service is about more than just donations - it's about inspiring and educating others through effort and interaction.
The document analyzes the liquidity, activities, debt, profitability, and market performance of a firm over a 5-year period from 2011-2015 using various financial ratios. Liquidity was highest in 2014 but remained adequate in 2015. Operating profit margins decreased each year from 2011-2015 due to an oversupply in the construction industry. Debt levels increased from 2011-2014 but decreased in 2015 as interest payments declined. Profitability was strongest in 2011-2014 but began declining in 2015. Market performance improved from 2011-2014 but weakened in 2015 as returns and earnings per share fell.
Sycal has opportunities for growth in Perak state, including upcoming integrated township developments by PKNP that aim to raise socio-economic values. Repayment of RM 69 million from 2014-2016 could boost cash position and allow dividends. A 12-year contract with Pullman Hotel until 2022 may provide more jobs. Ongoing projects and a new launch in Johor could significantly increase profit contribution over the next 5-10 years with potential total GDV of RM1.2 billion. However, the construction and property industries face challenges from a weak currency, GST effects, and strict lending policies.

Steven is preparing a preliminary cost estimate for a 3-star hotel project in Subang Jaya scheduled to begin construction in July 2013. To estimate costs, he must determine rates for each item in the bills of quantities by researching the costs of materials, labor, plants, equipment, wastage, and profit margins. He will obtain cost data from various sources like government publications, previous projects, suppliers, equipment rental companies, and consulting with senior staff. Factors like the project type and size, location, labor and material costs, market conditions, and overhead and profits must all be considered when preparing an accurate estimate.

The document describes a group project assignment to compare BIM QS software and their functions and limitations. It analyzes 5 BIM QS software options - Nomitech (CostOS), Exactal (CostX), Vico Software (Takeoff Manager), Glodon Software (TAS), and Buildsoft (Cubit). For each software, it discusses their key functions such as generating quantities from 3D models, cost estimating capabilities, integration with other software, and benefits like increased accuracy and reduced errors. The document finds that CostOS and CostX provide comprehensive cost estimating solutions while Takeoff Manager, TAS and Cubit focus more on quantity takeoff from BIM models.

6. Elliott(2012) states that, it’s difficult to be friends with ex, at least initially. From 2004
NBC.com poll, 48% of people surveyed said they remained friends with their ex. Thus, to
investigate which statement is correct, a survey is conducted on 100 participants which
consists of students from Taylor's University Lakeside Campus and our families
members. The participants were asked to fill in a questionnaire of about 10 questions. The
result shows most of the participants who are not sure that they will say 'hi' to their ex,
continues chatting with them like friends., voluntary help them, continues hang out with
them, will mention them in front of friends and hopes to get back into the relationship ;
agree that still think of them as friends and wishes them on special events ; disagree about
still thinking about their ex ; strongly disagree to not date another person after breakup. In
conclusion, the hypothesis is accepted, couples are still friends after breakup.

8. According to a 2004 NBC.com poll, 48% of people surveyed said they remained friends
with their ex. And 18% of those surveyed said that they have tried, but it did not work.
(The Lifescript Editorial Staff, 2007) However, on the other hand, Elliott(2012) an author,
relationship coach, counselor and speaker/presenter, states that even after an amicable
breakup, it’s extremely difficult to be friends, at least initially.
“Most people cannot remain friends after a breakup, but if it will ever be, it will be later
... much later. The atmosphere immediately following a breakup is too emotionally
charged for it to happen right away, if at all.” (Elliott, 2012, para. 2 )
Therefore, in order to investigate which statement is correct, a survey is carried out. The
aim of this survey is to identify whether couples that break up can still remain as friends
or not. The hypothesis is ‘couples that break up will still remain as friends’.
The assignment is broken down into two parts. Groups of between 4 to 5 members
are required to conduct a social psychology experiment, write a report and present the
results in class. The first part would be carrying out a group research by using various
materials and theories from various topics taught in class. The second part would be
conducting a group presentation on the data collected.

10. 1. Participants:
We randomly selected 100 persons that comprises of random strangers, friends and
family members both around campus and our respective homes and hang-out spots.
2. Apparatus & Materials:
Some of the apparatus and materials that were used include laptops and printer to
create the questionnaire. We also used some reference links that was able to help us
through this assignment.
3. Procedure:
We constructed a survey questionnaire of around 10 questions excluding personal
details such as age, gender and whether the participant had an ex before. Participants
were approached and asked if they can help us to complete our survey questionnaire
for social psychology assignment. Upon completion of the questionnaire, we
retrieved it and replied with a simple thanks. We repeated this steps until we obtained
our desired amount of information which is 100 surveys. Then we analyzed the data
and wrote a report containing our findings.

24. Discussion
Based on the survey we carried out, the female participants are slightly more than the
Page
24
25. amount of male participants which majority of them are aged from18-25 years old. Out of
100 participants, 44 of them broke up before and 65% of those who broke up, their
relationship lasted less than a year.
A. From this question we found that more males (25 out of 46) would say ‘hi’ to their ex
than compared to females (20 out of 54). On average, males agree to this statement while
females are not sure.
B. From this question we found that more males (25 out of 46) would still think of their
ex as friends than compared to females (26 out of 54). On average, males agree to this
statement whereas females are not sure.
C. From this question we found that more males (20 out of 46) would continue chatting
with their ex than compared to females (15 out of 54). On average, both males and
females are not sure about this statement.
D. From this question we found that more males (30 out of 46) would wish their ex on
special events than compared to females (21 out of 54). On average, males agree to this
statement while females are not sure.
E. From this question we found that more males (29 out of 46) would voluntarily offer
help to their ex than compared to females (20 out of 54). On average, males agree to this
statement whereas females are not sure.
F. From this question we found that more males (12 out of 46) would continue to hang
out with their ex than compared to females (10 out of 54). On average, males are not sure
about this statement while females disagree with it.
G. From this question we found that more females (10 out of 54) would mention their ex
in front of their friends than compared to males (5 out of 46). On average, both males and
females are not sure about this statement.
H. From this question we found that more males (13 out of 46) would keep thinking
about their ex than compared to females (8 out of 54). On average, males are not sure
about this statement while females disagree with it.
I. From this question we found that more males (9 out of 46) would hope to get back into
a relationship with their ex than compared to females (3 out of 54). On average, males are
not sure about this statement while females disagree with it.
J. From this question we found that more males (5 out of 46) would not date another
person than compared to females (4 out of 54). On average, both males and females
disagree with this statement.
All in all, we can see that males tend to agree more to this survey whereas females tend to
disagree more. In total average, males have 4 ‘agree’s, 5 ‘not sure’s and 1 ‘disagree’
whereas females have 6 ‘not sure’s and 4 ‘disagree’s. Since we have obtained slightly
Page
25
26. more disagrees than we have agree, we have to conclude that couples that break up
cannot remain as friends. The hypothesis is not accepted.
