Authorization: Contact authors Description: Burns, Mitchell, and Obradovich (1989) conducted an observational study of visitors to the Sacramento Zoo in Sacramento, California to see how males and females with young children acted toward the children in public. This observational study was conducted near the primate exhibit at the Sacramento Zoo on weekends between January 30 and April 10, 1988. Characteristics of all groups of visitors to the exhibit were recorded on data pages by one of five observers/coders. The following information was recorded for each party: number of strollers (to represent the presence of a toddler), who was pushing the stroller, the number of young adult females, the number of young adult males, the number of senior females, the number of senior males, the number of toddlers per stroller and the sex of the toddlers, the number of boys, the number of girls, and the total number in the party.
