Steps In Research Process
what have been done, aging agency, take what have been done, then expand to a different angle. Building on the knowledge already there.
why do universities make methods classes mandatory in almost all disciplines?
personal biases > social science method of collecting research. Most of the time, it try to produce potential biases.
There are different step taken included (research process): selecting the topic, focus question, design study, collect data, analyze data, interpret data, inform others
social research does not produce perfect knowledge but to produce a more objective knowledge.
It's not always a way to answer the questions but seeking the truth.
Scientific method to answer ill question like: is there god?
The experience is important, but also the nature color that we see is important. The context of our culture. In our eyes, it's biased. One thing could be bad in one culture but considered OK or good in another culture.
These research process design is not necessarily apply for every research for every culture.
Sometimes, what is reported/recorded/promoted are not totally right. eg; smoking crack 1 time will make you addicted for life. Just one time. Well, this is about politic, what powerful people want us to believe. It's all about financial aspect. They want to promote what they want people to believe. sharing the pie, that's all it is. And moral consensus. A moral sense of community as a whole.
Again, personal experiences are somewhat biases.
Note: question to ask when doing research: why it's not the biggest problem here but not there?
Another way to get information is through the media > to inform but bottom line is the profit.

Physical Abuse Discussion
Strength of experiemental design: getting the exact measurement.
Weakness: generalization >> may not get intended result. In the lab>>smaller generalization >> better reseult
Survey:
the result is more generalized ( not good). there will be multiple variable
Strength: Cause and Effect of the research.
Qualitative method:
trying to get subjective meaning of an issue which can't be measure in survey. Eg, Relationship, cause and effect between.
method of gathering data: interview, observation, interaction.
Doing more like a case study.
Literature review: point need to remember when doing a research: defining gap,
Methodology section
ethic statement: how you going to protect people you interview, get through survey, and so statement of limitation like what is the boundary of the research.
Diane discussion
profesisonal measure, looking at prevention, what is contributing factor, initiate to look for prevention : education. lead to ultimate prevention.
Intro: summary, cause and effect, and a way to prevent it.
