Categories and Definitions

Given that this is a short course assignment, I have chosen to do a limited content analysis looking at the two characters Marge and Homer and looking at what happens to them under two conditions: under a good light or under a bad light.

"Under a good light" category defines as being correct in actions, a suitable action that may relief tension, being clever or actions that based on good intentions will all be considered as under a good light. For example, Homer spent time on shopping for flowers and making up nice words for Marge, this will be count as under a good light.

The other category, "under a bad light" would be just the opposite. It can be defined as being silly, stupid, wrong and making a wrong decision. For example, Homer accused Bart for being rebellious, when Bart tied up the baby sitter bandit was in fact a correct action.

Hypothesis

Homer Simpson assumed to be making more wrong decisions than Marge Simpson does.

Result

Under a good light
a. Marge - 3 counts (75%)
b. Homer - 1 count (25%)
Total of 4 counts

Under a bad light
a. Marge - 4 counts (20%)
b. Homer - 16 counts (80%)
Total of 20 counts
