Research Questions
Due: Wednesday, June 24
Requirements: 1 double‐spaced page
Directions:
• Come up with a research problem—an issue you will propose to study this
semester. Make sure it is sociological, and something that you are interested in.
• Think ahead to the research proposal due at the end of the summer. It will be
advantageous to think of a research problem that you can use in your proposal.
Could you do surveys, interviews, and a content analysis for this problem?
• State your research problem and why you are interested in it in 1‐2 paragraphs.
• Come up with 3 possible research questions for this problem. Think about “process”
questions (how?) and “explanation” questions (why?).
• State in 1 paragraph what biases and values you may be approaching this research
with.
