November 30, 2012

Dear Respondents:

I am a student under the direction of Mr. Dustin Celestino in the English Resource Center at Asia pacific College. I am conducting a research study entitled “The Effects of Gender Role Reversals Featured in Anime in the Society”. The purpose of this study is to clarify whether the change in gender roles is already accepted by adults and its underlying impacts. This interview will be conducted for adult males and females.

Your participation will involve answering my interview questionnaire and should only take about 10-15 minutes of your time. The interview questions are:

1. Have you watch cartoons before? If not, can you name some cartoons that are famous during your time?

2. What can you say about women protecting men in cartoons?

3. Some cartoons nowadays portray change in gender role. As a man/woman do you agree with the changes? Why or why not?How does it affect you?

4. Do you think the change that is being portrayed in some cartoons affect our traditional knowledge on the role of men and role of women in our society? How did you say so?

Your involvement in the study is voluntary and you may choose not to participate or to stop at any time. The results of the research study may be published, but your name will not be used. Your identity will not be associated with your responses in any published format.

The findings from this project will provide information on the better understanding of the effects of gender role reversals with no cost to you other than the time it takes for the survey.
