Participants The study will be conducted in the United States, and data will be for the research will be obtained from the Child Development Project, which is a study of socialization aspects of adolescents and youngsters. The families that will participate in the study were sampled from Nashville, Tennessee, and Indiana. Parents that will participate in the exercise were selected in random either by mail or in person for the school of the child. The reason for the use of random sampling is so as to get rid of any form of bias. The study seeks to encompass families that have daughters, and it will attempt to get an estimate from around 500 families to take part in the research. The research aims to be demographically diverse and in doing so it seeks to represent each of the three regions equally. The study will seek to use single parent families as part of the study. The single parent families should have mothers as the sole provider, and there should not be any father figure. The tendencies of the daughters of the single parent family will be compared to that of the nuclear family that has both mother and father.
Materials
The research will use various materials for its data collection. It will incorporate the use of questioners to collect data. The questioners will be both open ended and closed questionnaires. The questionnaires will be beneficial for their and are a cost effective tool for data collection. They
What kind of result was found by the research design? Compare the effectiveness of the survey research to the other subordinate data, experimentation or observation in the perspective of gathering information for this project.
The research topic is selected, the testable research question is developed, research on the topic is found, the literature review is completed, and a decision is made on the research design. Now, one of the most important steps in the research process to accomplish is the collection of data. Notwithstanding the research project and whether the method of research is whether qualitative or quantitative, data must be collected. Data collection is essential whether the method of choice is a mail survey, a telephone survey, an interview, an experiment, field research, or secondary data analysis. Data collection is an important aspect of any research study. Inaccurate data can impact the results of a study and ultimately lead to invalid results. During the data collection step, a significant amount of time, energy and attention are required. In order to ensure the data collection process is valid and successful, one should adhere to the four steps involved: (1) the construction of a collection data form which is used to organize all data that is collected; (2) the designation of the coding strategy used to represent data on a data collection form; (3) the collection of the actual data; and (4) entry into the data collection form (Salkind, 2012).
The collection of information will be both oral and practical. The oral part will involve questionnaires which will
The procedure used to collect information for the research study is a survey and the techniques used were interview and questionnaire. An interview is when questions are posed to an individual to obtain information (What Is Survey Research? - Definition, Methods & Types, n.d.). A questionnaire is a series of written questions a participant answers (What Is Survey Research? - Definition, Methods & Types, n.d.). Follow- up questionnaires were administered to participant face- to- face and participants who were living long distance were interviewed by telephone.
The categories used to organize research were the questioning, data design, data collection, and data analyzing method. These methods all oblige one another to help express and develop the knowledge of this analysis. The question method is used towards the content o f research and whether or not the purpose of the research is clear. The data design and data collection methods assist with the structure and information process of the research. The previous two methods guide the data analysis method which breaks down the exploration of the research for this paper. These established methods serves as a n effective advantage in forming research no matter the case, argument, or
The questionnaires will be correctly labelled to ensure survey data will be correctly linked. Verify that all surveys collected have signed consent forms. Track and analyze data as it comes in. All data will be stored on computer files for easy access and to comply with privacy laws. In conducting of the pilot testing, efforts were made by the researcher to ensure the setting, choice of participants and interview methods were as close as those intended in the main study as possible. Interview the participants on any difficulty they encountered while responding to the questionnaires. Record and analyze their responses for drafting the final questionnaires. This form of data collection and management aims ensure the collection of accurate and reliable
• Develop a questionnaire to collect primary data (no more than 15 questions). The design and contents of the questionnaire should be well justified by providing valid reasons.
The research carried on both quantitative approach and qualitative approach. It began with quantitative approach—questionnaire. Bryman and Bell (2003) asserted that mail or postal questionnaires are most popular forms of questionnaires. Another form—self-completion questionnaire was also common because of the overlap with postal questionnaire to some extent.
1. Chapter 10, Adolescence: The Social World goes in depth with human relationships among adolescents; teenagers are social beings, in which they rely on others’ opinions, company, and validation, in order for them to seek and find their true identity; who they are and where they belong (Berger, 365). Identity is the state of achievement when a “person understands who he or she is as a unique individual, in accord with past experiences and future plans,” they figure out their own goals, values, and ambitions, eventually leading them to the path in finding self-actualization (Berger, 351). Continuing on, relationships between parents and adolescents are not always peaceful due to arguments that have to do with teenagers’ “drive for independence, arising from biological, as well as, psychological impulses and social expectations clashes with the parents’ desire for control,” (Berger, 357). This section states that bickering indicates a healthy family due to conflicts indicating close relationships. Of course consequences and many factors that alter and influence adolescents’ thinking and behavior are present. Furthermore, this section explains the results of neglect, mental, emotional, and physical abuse to an individual, in which peer pressure can happen. Peer pressure is when “people of the same age group encourage particular behavior, dress, and attitude,” peer pressure is usually seen as a negative influence upon an individual’s growth and behavior that is contrary to
Research questions are formulated in a study to inquire about variables, both independent and dependent variables, and the relationship between them. Research questions are categorized into two, that is, qualitative and quantitative research questions. Qualitative questions are used in qualitative research like case studies, surveys and action research where the approach is non-numerical and analyses special phenomena that occur in nature. Quantitative research on the other hand is more of a systematic approach with measurable numerical quantities that go through analysis to prove a hypothesis. Finally, the research hypothesis is either approved or disapproved with regards to the results of the analysis (Laureate Online Education B.V.
Class, race, and gender play a significant role in organizing society as a whole, and they are all forms of stratification that promote group inequalities in society due to an unequal distribution of social resources and opportunities. These groups are socially defined and treated differently and unequally in the larger society.
The data collection process introduces another essential element to your research project: the importance of clear and constant communication need (Smith et al, 2012). Before collecting data it is important to “pre-test” the data-collection instruments (observation forms and questionnaires) to gauge its suitability. The quality of the data-collection instrument determines the quality and usefulness of the data.
The major instrument for data gathering will be a self-constructed questionnaire with a semi structured interview. The researcher will approach the sample of study and administer the questionnaire after explaining the importance of the research and the need for them to respond truthfully. This will greatly help to reduce the error that may arise therefrom. The administered questionnaire will be retrieved immediately to prevent loss. The respondents would be given proper direction on how to fill the questionnaire to minimize the loss and error that may likely arise from poor administration of questionnaire.
Because the questionnaire is a very popular research tool, the data collection is convenient and can be widely used, which is a good way to research the users' satisfaction. The service to measure from the sample or the target population has the form of a series of questions. The system has been compiled in a systematic and systematic way.
Adolescence is perhaps the most confusing and complex time in one’s developmental life as one’s physical body, the way one thinks, the brain structure, emotions, identity, and sexuality are all developing simultaneously. I am currently an adolescent, my age is nineteen, that has recent experience with the trials and tribulations that accompany those formative years. My journey as an adolescent is nearing its end as I am entering the emerging adulthood phase of my life, but proper reflection upon my experience should give key insights into the development of today’s adolescents.
