Assignment 2: Formulating a Research Question

Research investigators often encounter the following saying: "A problem that goes unnoticed or ignored is a problem without a resolution."

Discuss a problem from the field of forensic psychology that you would like to have resolved through investigative research methods.

Use the following questions as guidelines for formulating the actual quantitative research question with respect to the problem that you identify:

  • What is the specific problem? 

  • What is the evidence of the problem?

  • What do you suspect is causing the problem?

  • Is the research question clearly expressed without being too general or too narrow?

  • Does the question relate to the identified problem?

  • Is the research, based on the research question, feasible?

  • Will the research, based on the research question, add to the body of knowledge in the forensic psychology field?

After you submit your research question, read the responses of your classmates and critique the research question of at least two of them. To ensure each of your classmates receives feedback, please first respond to those who have not received any from your peers. Use these same questions as critique criteria in your response to other classmates:

  • Is the question clearly expressed without being too general or too narrow? 

  • Does the question relate to the identified problem?

  • Are there any barriers to the research?

  • Will the research, based on the research question, add to the content body of knowledge?

  • Were these questions fully addressed?
    • What is the specific problem you are encountering?

    • What evidence do you have that there is a problem?

    • What do you suspect is causing the problem?

Post your response in a minimum of 300 words.

All written assignments and responses should follow APA rules for attributing sources.
