After class ended, I realized how important it is to know the difference between each research design and how important it is to figure out which one fits with certain research topic questions. I realized how important it is to figure out which research design works for my research question as well as how to go about doing a study for that certain research design. For example, which population to go after, if I need to do a survey or an interview, and what questions to ask. I am considering to do a qualitative research approach because for my research question I am trying to figure out stress among formally incarcerated women so, I know I will have a small sample size and it’ll be an interview with open ended questions because stress is different with everyone. With qualitative it focuses more on the subject and how I can interpret what they’re telling me in order for it to coincide with my study.
