Examine Research Designs

Examine Research Designs

To get started in this class, select a topic of research interest within your chosen area of study (e.g., I/O, Forensics, Health, General, Educational, etc.). Post a discussion in which you briefly describe potential qualitative research questions along with how your research topic fits with one of the four goals of research that you read about this week. Explain how your topic aligns itself more readily with the use of either a qualitative or quantitative approach to research? Provide a thorough and complete rationale for your answer. Now, think of how you might reframe your research question to one that aligns with a quantitative approach. How would this work? What might you uncover here that you might not be able to if you were using a qualitative approach? How might the goals of the research change with a quantitative approach?
