Choosing an Example of a Good Research Question
Choosing an Example of a Good Research QuestionAn example of a good research question can come from a trusted source. The source is best known to the researcher because they have used that type of question in past studies. This gives credibility to the source as well as the answer that comes back from it. This can be even more important for your research because you are likely to get a different answer to a standard question when it comes to answering questions that are asked of you by people who you cannot call friends or relatives.The second factor is what questions will be asked. There are questions that are a lot like this question that asks the source what they know about a specific subject. The source is often asked a little differently than it would be in a regular public forum. This may also be a way for the source to actually volunteer information.An example of a good research question is this: 'Please tell me about a personal situation involving either a friend or relative. I would also like the source to explain what they know. Thank you.'When you ask this question you are asking the person to talk about something that would be of interest to the person who answered the question. It is not an attempt to quiz them and may be seen as being a bit harsh on the person, but rather a concern about what they could say. They may have a family member or friend that may be aware of this situation but do not want to get in trouble and so have decided to keep quiet about it.The reason why a person does not want to talk about their situation is often because they may have an answer to the question that would be helpful and leave the person who gave the question the answer. They may have been the source of information in the past and now have decided to keep quiet about it for a variety of reasons.A better option for those in a public forum is to say that you need to have an answer for a research question about a family or friend that the person may have. Often it is easier to know what they know rather than asking them. They may be willing to give you information to help with your research.In terms of the research question and answer, the best case scenario would be to receive an answer to a research question by sending them an email. If the person is willing to talk to you about their situation, then that could be a start to having a productive conversation about your question. However, sometimes this may not be the case, which is why you need to make sure that you take time to get to know the person you are talking to.It is very important that you choose an example of a good research question for each person that you want to interview. This will ensure that you are getting the best information to use when conducting your own research.
