Public Displays of AffectionYay or Nay?

Experiment Outline

I walked around the Walmart in my home town of Springville and asked 9 people what their thoughts about the topic were. I also asked my girlfriend about her thoughts (I had a pretty good idea as to what she would say).

My experiment consisted of 3 questions.

Do you think that PDA is okay?

What extent if PDA is acceptable?

Does the age of the couple influence your thoughts at all?

Here is a presentation about my findings. Slide3

Hypothesis I predicted that more people would be okay with PDA occurring than not. I guessed that 6 out of the 10 people surveyed would say that PDA is okay to show.

I did not think that any of the people would be okay with anything above making out in public though. And making out meaning a long passionate kiss with body contact.

I also predicted that people will give elderly couples a lot more freedom with this and be more accepting of their PDA than younger couples. Slide4

Responses Marcy 40 year old woman

Yes

Only do what you wouldn’t be embarrassed to let your mother and grandmother see. That is the extent of the PDA that you should do. For me that is holding hands.

No. PDA is PDA. Regardless of the age Slide5

ResponsesJohn 26 year old man

Yes

Kissing (just a peck) no groping or anything like that

Yes, old people can kiss more and it is totally okay. They have earned that. Slide6

ResponsesKelley 32 year old woman

No

None at all. Not even holding hands. It is not something you should need to prove to the world.

Not at all. PDA is gross no matter the age of the person. Slide7

ResponsesCaleb 20 year old man

Yeah, it is definitely okay.

Soft

makeout

is okay. (no rubbing of bodies, and minimal body contact all together) Nothing more than that though.

No. I do not want to see old people going hard either! Slide8

ResponsesKaybri

18 year old girl

Hell no!

Holding hands is the absolute max.

Even though I hate PDA, it is still better if it is an elderly couple than younger kids. Young kids don’t know how to control themselves often times. Slide9

ResponsesJentry

24 year old woman

Of course it is okay.

Open mouth kissing is acceptable. But no grab ass. (Her actual words!)

It is actually pretty cute to me when old people display their love for each other. Shows that love and passion can last. Slide10

Responses Steve 51 year old man

No, it is gross. I have always believed that.

Maybe hugging is okay. No kissing is acceptable. Save it for later.

Old people can hug and kiss on the cheek, but that is it. No exceptions for them either. Slide11

ResponsesDiane 44 year old woman

Sometimes, depends on how public.

If it is in a high people concentrated place, then holding hands only. If at a place with not many people. Then simple kissing is okay.

No change. Same rules go for the elderly. Slide12

Responses Joel 48 year old man

Totally okay.

Just nothing passionate. (making out, passionate touching, etc.)

Yes, old people get a little bit more leeway when it comes to this matter. They know how to handle themselves better. Slide13

ResponsesAbby 19 year old woman (My Girlfriend)

No, not even with you! Besides holding hands, but even sometimes that is not okay.

Not more than holding hands, everybody should just save it for a private time.

No. People are people, no exceptions at all. Slide14

Summary of Data Collected

Findings

Question 1. Yes: 5 No: 4 Sometimes: 1

Question 2. Holding hands only: 4 Kissing/Hugging: 5 More:0 None:1

Question 3. Yes: 5 No: 5 Slide15

Personal Reflection

I came to several conclusions when it came down to it with this experiment.

First off, I was happy to find out that I was correct when it came to more people thinking PDA is acceptable than not.

Secondly, I was really surprised that so many people thought that holding hands was the only acceptable form.

Lastly, I was really shocked that the category referring to elderly people came back an even 5 to 5. I honestly thought people would be a lot more understanding if old people were displaying their love and affection towards one another.

I was surprised to find that the ages of the people I surveyed didn’t have much of an affect on their stances on the topic. The answers varied a lot more than I thought they would with age. Slide16

Conclusion

I am very happy that I decided to do my project on this topic. I learned quite a bit about people and their stances on this point. Me personally, I think PDA is okay, kissing is fine as long as it doesn’t get too passionate. And when it comes to the elderly, I say the same rules should apply to them. Although the elderly deserve more respect in my mind, they still need to abide by the rules of everybody else in this aspect.

This has been an amazing experience and it really took me out of my comfort zone having to go out and ask people about these fairly personal questions, but I do believe that doing surveys like these give people a lot of good insight into the psychology of other people and sort of the things that help them click and the things they do and do not like. The findings of this study were some facts that I will continue to reference in my life no doubt.
