author mentions that, as they have a good knowledge of the research topic, it has a good impact on the formulation of the questions. However, this could have made a potential bias in the results. Coggon et al (2003) states that bias is a systematic tendency of under estimate or over estimate the potential variables of the parameter due to lack of knowledge in the research design. It is very important to consider who is involved in the research process due to the risk of making potential bias.…

Research Article Critique 1. Describe the type of research used in this study (Exploratory or Descriptive or Explanatory). What type of research was used? Provide the reference. The type of research used in this article was exploratory. The authors wanted to explore what was causing preschoolers to behave a certain way. What contributed to internalizing behavior problems? Was it familial factors or academic factors? In their article, Internalizing Problems in At Risk Preschoolers:…

benefits are two major ethical issues in experimental design research. Deception is when subjects are misled about procedures despite “informed consent” and distribution of benefits is how much researchers influence the benefits of treatment subjects receive may not receive; however both issues can be essential in experimental research (Bachman and Schutt, 2014) Deception is generally used in laboratory settings. Deception in research is an ethical concern due to the harm a subject may or may…

Ten years ago I was part of a research group that analyzed urinary schistosomiasis and the implications for control among primary school children and rural farmers in Obollo-Eke, Enugu State, Nigeria. At the time, I was a medical laboratory science internist with the University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital. This experience was my first encounter with the world of research and evidence-based process. I was intrigued considering that it was uncharted territory and was ecstatic when I learned that…

Research Methods The purpose of this research is to understand what makes college students with chronic illness resilient. In this chapter, I present my research paradigm and methodology for the study. Next, I address the aim, philosophical foundations and limitations of qualitative and phenomenological research. Last, but not least, I describe in detail the setting and data sources for the study, data collection procedures and methods of analysis for the interview data. Qualitative Research…

Corporate involvement in scientific research have created a problematic dynamic between financial interests and the goals of sciences and its supposed norms. Robert Merton said that “the goal of science is to expand the range of our knowledge by empirical confirmation and logically consistent statements of regularities,” and made a point to identify certain norms that should not be breeched to ensure that science would not fall ill to the maladies that plague other institutions. These included:…

is saying being implemented in today, but after skimming through the board, I found her research was what created stereotypes. The thesis gives the wrong impression on the topic, as unimportant and overall lousy. Despite this the thesis is well proven through the right hand side labeled “Effect of Mead’s Research.” I found the enforcement of gender roles with pink and blue was an appropriate touch for research on the woman who created them, but it looked like a baby shower. The images,…

happen with any hypothesis, this was continually proved wrong over time. One example is Galileo’s discovery of Jupiter’s moons waxing and waning around it. This shows that though a theory may seem correct, many times they can be disproved by continued research and…

this experiment they had 5 basic research questions. The first research question was from which mass mediated, interpersonal, and other mediated sources (e.g. text messaging and e-mail) are college students getting general health-related information? The second research question was from which mass mediated, interpersonal, and other mediated sources (e.g. text messaging and e-mail) are college students getting H1N1 health-related information? The third research question was what information or…
