Abstract

In this chapter, students will learn the process of developing a deductive research question. The social science process, and by virtue the methods that are employed as part of a research study, stem from the structure and nature of the research question. This chapter provides a step-by-step account of how to generate a scientifically valid deductive question. The concept and structuring of a hypothesis that is linked to a research question is also discussed. The second portion of the chapter is devoted to explaining how to complete a literature review that is relevant to your research question and hypothesis.
