    Default help me with my psych class please ladies

    Hi ladies. I am taking an intro to psych class right now, and I'm writing my final paper on exotic dancing. Part of our paper is to analyze a journal article and it's research methods, findings etc. The article I chose to analyze really made my blood boil- basically the paper was trying to analyze factors that would cause women to be strippers and the findings (from interviewing 20 people!! LOL!!) were that most strippers had low education level, absent father figures, were abused as children, or suffered from ugly duckling syndrome and stripped for attention. Basically this paper was trying to support the stereotype we all hate.
    Please help me refute this ridiculous article and take this short survey for me. If you have any other comments feel free to pm me. Thanks in advance ladies!

    I know, I get it, but I was hoping everyone would help because I'm a dancer and I actually post on here. I'm not just some random person posting so I can write about stripping for shock value. I'd really like to be able to argue against the article I'm analyzing.

    how come nobody ever uses for their surveys? It ensures anonymity, organizes your data, and its free. Plus it's easier for your respondents. I bet you'll get more replies if you use it (or something similar). Good luck though it sounds like a worthy cause!

    a. Money
    b. flexibility of scheduling, etc.
    c. attention from men
    d. No other job prospects
    4. As a child did you have an absent father? yes. (haha i guess that just reenforces the stereotype but its true) i was however adopted by my grandmother who had no partner, and I did have a father figure in my life, my older brother, so i was never at loss for a father figure.
    a. yes
    b. No
    5. Did you hit puberty early? 6th grade. I'm not sure if thats considered early or not.

    8. How far do you plan to go in school? undecided. I'm not sure of what I want my career path to be yet. I've always been really into theater and acting but from what i hear it's kind of a waste to go to theater arts school.
    a. High school diploma
    b. Bachelors degree
    c. Masters or other advanced degree
    9. Did you suffer from a negative self image before you started dancing?no.

    Thanks for the link, I didn't know that website existed. I have edited the OP to have a link to the survey I created on there to make it easier for people to respond.

    Here's something you can print. I am a stripper with TWO degrees. One (which I find hilarious) is in Psychology and the other in Chemistry. My parents have been together for 30 years, I was never abused and was showered with attention while growing up. Why do I strip? Because I can...........!

    I took it, even though I'm not a full-time stripper. Hope it helps.

    Me too. Good dad, sex at 16yo, no abuse. I'm choosing not to be in college right now but I probably will eventually return and finish some degree. And I'm dancing for a combination of money and flexibility. *shrug*

    I also answered! I put down that I planned on getting a master's/specialization because I plan on going to teacher's college after I get a bachelor's degree in humanities, mainly English literature and Jewish studies

    I'm taking it now! I hope the paper goes well, and a lot of information out there is stereotypical statistics put together to prove the theories the papers contain. Blah!

    Thank you to everyone who has taken my survey. So far I have more responses to my survey than people that were interviewed for the article that I'm critiquing. My paper isn't due til next tuesday, but if you guys want I'll post it on here in this thread.
    Thanks again everyone!

    Except for the low education level, the rest is true for me. I don't do it for attention anymore, but that was a motivating factor for me for a very long time. My shrink told me that a large percentage of the dancers he's counseled have had issues with their father. I think these things are not necessarily true for everyone, but the stereotype does have some truth to it.
