Questions
Our course textbook discusses several research approaches, including case studies, observational studies, surveys, psychological tests and laboratory experiments
Imagine you are going to conduct research investigating a human behavior that you would be interested in learning more about. Based on your reading describe what research method you would use for investigating it.
1. What drew you to this method? Why would it be well suited for your hypothetical research?
2. What are the strengths and weaknesses of this type of research?
3. Then, when responding to your classmates for the minimum of two reply posts requirement, take their research topic of interest and recommend another type of research approach to the study of the topic they chose (Ex: "Another method that might also work is _______" or "Have you thought of the _________ method?" - we want to be respectful and professional and not criticize a classmate's method choice) and explain why you would recommend that alternative method.
