Sorry for responding late.
I think this is an interesting and reasonable research topic. Your first research question is good. However, it is unclear about what you want to purchase in the second question. Regarding to your motivation, I guess you might be more interested in identifying the characteristics of leadership an incident commander should have. If so, you have two things need to be done in the next step (literature review). First, you need to define what a successful incident commander is. How can you measure his/her success? Second, what are potential characteristics would affect the leadership (in any kind of fields). Clarify these two sub-questions and then you can examine your research question by testing the correlations between …show more content…
To earn your extra 5 points on your midterm exam, please select ONE of these nine factors, search or google its definition, read the scenario below, and then answer three questions. (Don't forget to provide your source or reference on your citation.)
Considering a researcher in emergency management is going to study in the impacts of a guide book for coastal neighborhoods on their hazard adjustments. S/he plans to select two neighborhoods (about 30 households in each neighborhood) and assigns them into control and experimental groups. Before s/he starts her/his study, s/he knows that there are many factors would affect the internal validity in his study. Could you please help s/he to avoid those issues?
Please:
i. Identifying what factor of the validity issue you are interested in and briefly introduce it. ii. Giving an example on how this factor would affect the study
