  1. My presentation focused on Children and their toy experiences.
  2. My research question first started with how to Children with
  3. in York region, ages 6-10 described their experiences with gender
  4. toys. After research feedback from the professor and recruiting participants,
  5. it changed to how to Children ages 6-10 describe their
  6. experiences with toys.
  7. Prior research on this topic consisted of Children in the
  8. infant and toddler age group where their parents were present.
  9. For this research study, the researchers focused on body language
  10. and eye movements of the infant and toddler while they
  11. placed two different toys in front of them, it mainly
  12. focused on the nature versus nurture and if the parents
  13. play a role or if it's just a natural instinct.
  14. Most of these research studies were mainly based in America.
  15. My research focused on ages 6-10, which I believe is
  16. a vital toy playing group.
  17. They had the chance to have an influence on them
  18. from different aspects and different people in their life.
  19. My research was also Canadian, which is a little bit
  20. different. My research methods included recruiting through prior relationships in
  21. different aspects of my life.
  22. General information was collected through google forms, which was completed
  23. by the parents of the participant.
  24. Giving general information about the participant.
  25. After this, a one on one interview was conducted virtually
  26. with the participant.
  27. I collected data through audio and visual recordings as I
  28. wanted to make the participant feel more comfortable while they
  29. were answering questions and for it to feel like a
  30. casual conversation rather than them feeling pressured as I write
  31. answers down as they speak from my research, I found
  32. that further research is needed.
  33. Specifically focusing on parents.
  34. Sorry, focusing on siblings and friends.
  35. Results do suggest that parents, friends and siblings all play
  36. a role in toy choices, but their roles vary quite
  37. a bit.
  38. I also found that gender Toy section think a difference
  39. in toy choice.
  40. My participants mostly all stated that when they go to
  41. a toy store, they go to their specific gender section
  42. as they feel pressured by other people in the store
  43. to make that choice.
  44. General themes that I found in my research included gender,
  45. siblings, friends, parents, bullying, and popular toys.
  46. Most of the participants said they felt pressured and if
  47. they played with the opposite gender toy, they thought that
  48. they would be bullied by their peers.
  49. I also never considered popular choice having a role on
  50. this. A lot of toys come in and out and
  51. right now one of the most popular ones are fidget
  52. toys. Almost every participant I interviewed spoke about fidget toys.
  53. If I do further research in the future, I definitely
  54. want to broaden my age range to about 5-11 so
  55. that I can have more participants and see different point
  56. of views.
  57. I would definitely love to do on site observation because
  58. of covid.
  59. This was I was unable to do this.
  60. But in the future I would love to go to
  61. the participants house and observe them playing or actually engage
  62. and play with them.
  63. I believe that this would give me a lot more
  64. information. I would attempt not to have siblings together as
  65. I found that they would look at each other for
  66. answers when they felt a little bit stuck and that
  67. causes different influences.
  68. I found that icebreakers worked very, very well.
  69. It helped the participants get to know me and for
  70. me to get to know the participant having the participants
  71. also bring their own toys into the research was a
  72. lot of fun and it was very helpful.
  73. The participants then got excited to show me the toys
  74. that they have in their homes and why they loved
  75. them, which gave me also a lot of information.
  76. Families with multiple participants worked really, really well.
  77. All those siblings kind of had an influence on each
  78. other. If I believe if I interviewed them separately, it
  79. would work really well as it gives me more participants,
  80. and it gives me a different point of view of
  81. how siblings influence one another.
  82. If you have any questions, please let me know.
  83. Thank you.
