Testing for Association: What is the relationship between X & Y?
Testing for Differences: Does Y differ among groups with different X?
Testing for Cause & Effect: What is the effect that X has on Y?
Careful – remember there are strict rules for testing cause & effect, and so you can only perform this kind of testing under specific circumstances.
Research Methods: What kinds of research methods will you employ? You should employ the methods most appropriate for your research topic.
If your topic is exploratory, then are there qualitative methods that are best suited for gaining nuanced understanding of an otherwise unclear phenomena? How
would you gather that data?
If your topic is descriptive, or explanatory, how might you best be able to gather/identify data that can inform your understanding of the topic?
