issues that must be considered every step of the way. A researcher must familiarise themselves with the REB and make sure that any research involving contact with humans or bio materials that is not categorized as public information, secondary research or observation of a public place requires the approval of the REB. Establishing an ethical research that takes into account all the issues that could…

in Leedy and Ormrod (2014) research cycle which is described below. The researcher begins with a problem—an unanswered question. The presence of an unanswered question causes speculations. And by asking questions, we strike a spark that ignites a chain reaction leading to the research process. An inquisitive mind is the beginning impetus for research; as one popular tabloid puts it, “Inquiring minds want to know!” The researcher clearly and specifically articulates the goal of the research…

Replication studies were not famous for a long time, as researchers were conditioned to believe that they provided little to no use. Many journals even refused to publish replication studies as they did not provide new or fashionable results. As a part of the tenure process, educational researchers have to publish faster and newer results which did not encourage them to pursue replication studies. Marcus (2013) suggests that…

contains most of the oldest human art ever discovered, so he gathered a group of researchers and they started their journey trying to understand what happened there in over 32,000 years ago. When researchers arrived to the Chauvet Cave, they realized that it is narrow and can hardly fit one person at a time and by studying the cave’s dimensions they found that it is about 1300 feet long (Herzog, 2010). The researchers discovered in their journey a very large number of paintings, including…

Violence is recognized as a major public health issue in America (Ellickson & McGuigan, 2000). The researchers, Ellickson and McGuigan (2000), conduct a study to identify early predictors of adolescent violence, and whether these predictors range by gender and across different forms and degrees of violence (Ellickson & McGuigan, 2000). The researchers identify seven predictors, including school bonds, family relationships, problem behaviors, exposure to deviant social influences, personalities,…

However, in order for these new discoveries to be made, not only must there be a researcher planning the study, but there also must be a group of people willing to participate. And with the group of human participants comes the requirement of ethics in order to establish and agreed upon standard of values which make the study beneficial to not only the researcher but to the participant as well. Two ethical…

For example, the researchers let the girls pick the topic that they felt was most relevant to their community. The girls at the community had discussed the issues that they faced during their lives and they found that they had all faced instances of sexual harassment in their…

not the approach where the researcher can go in blind with any understanding of the topic. This research relies on the researcher opinion as well as their participants. When the researcher is selecting participants they have to be careful. They want to ensure all participants have experience the same phenomenon this allows the researcher to form and accurate conclusion. This can be a problem depending on the topic that is being researched. Hence, the reason the researcher need to make sure that…

outcome was a decreased length of stay (LOS) in the hospital…. Substitution of PAs for residents had no effect on patient mortality” (Hooker, et al.). The point of the study is that researchers proved the patients were not harmed and quality of care was the same. This further proves the main overarching question researchers have because physician assistants did as good of a job as the physicians (residents) and even had the patient cured in less…

treat them is through research. There are different methods of research and all of them have their strengths and weaknesses. The two main families are qualitative and quantitative methods. This paper shall analyze these methods and look at how the researchers have applied them in the study of split personalities. It shall look at all the relevant aspects of the methods and provide a comprehensive report. When it comes to quantitative methods, the hypothesis is pretty solid. It is one that has…
