What are the signifance of research?
Conducting research helps gain information you wouldn't have gained as easily through a book. Internet research speeds up the process while allowing you to see multitudes of articles on your research topic.
Theoritical definition of psychosocial problems?
In the American Psychiatric Association it distinguishes 16 different subtypes (or categories) of mental illness. Although psychosocial variables arguably have some degree of influence on all subtypes of mental illness, the major categories of mental disorders thought to involve significant psychosocial factors include:
- Substance-related disorders. Disorders related to alcohol and drug use,abuse, dependence, and withdrawal.
- Schizophreniaand other psychotic disorders. These include the schizoid disorders (schizophrenia, schizophreniform, andschizoaffective disorder), delusional disorder, and psychotic disorders.
- Mood disorders. Affective disorders such as depression (major, dysthymic) and bipolar disorders.
- Anxietydisorders. Disorders in which a certain situation or place triggers excessive fear and/or anxiety symptoms (i.e.,dizziness, racing heart), such aspanic disorder, agoraphobia, social phobia,obsessive-compulsive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, and generalized anxiety disorders.
- Somatoform disorders. Somatoform disorders involve clinically significant physical symptoms that cannot be explained by a medical condition (e.g., somatization disorder, conversion disorder,paindisorder,hypochondriasis, and body dysmorphic disorder).
- Factitious disorders. Disorders in which an individual creates and complains of symptoms of a non-existent illness in order to assume the role of a patient (or sick role).
- Sexual and gender identity disorders. Disorders of sexual desire, arousal, and performance. It should be noted that the categorization ofgender identity disorderas a mental illness has been a point of some contention among mental health professionals.
- Eating disorders. Anorexia and bulimia nervosa.
- Adjustment disorders. Adjustment disorders involve an excessive emotional or behavioral reaction to a stressful event.
- Personality disorders. Maladjustments of personality, including paranoid, schizoid, schizotypal, anti-social, borderline, histrionic, narcissistic, avoidant, dependent, and obsessive-compulsive personality disorder (not to be confused with the anxiety disorder OCD).
- Disorders usually first diagnosed in infancy childhood, or adolescence. Some learning and developmental disorders (i.e., ADHD) may be partially psychosocial in nature.
How do you find the answer to your research question once you've done your research?
Remember, your research will show you an answer to your research question (which could be no answer, too). If it doesn't, either your research is flawed or your question needs revised, or, perhaps your research proved no is the answer to that research question.
As an example of social research:
Let's say you want to show that men prefer to use their own uni-sex bathroom. You block the men's room with "Out of Order" signs. Then, you observe and count how many men use the women's restroom versus how many men go searching for another men's restroom. You might find all the men still use the women's restroom. It still is "an answer" to your research question. But you might decide, too, that you need to study in more locations or also study women's reactions to only having access to the men's restroom. You might also find comparative studies from 1965 that do show uni-sex preference and decide to replicate the 1965 study to see if you obtain the same results now.
What is sampling in legal research?
Sampling in legal research refers to the process of selecting a subset of data or cases from a larger population to draw conclusions or make inferences about the whole. This method is often used when it is impractical or impossible to analyze every case, allowing researchers to focus on representative examples. Effective sampling techniques can enhance the validity of findings while reducing time and resource expenditure. It is crucial to employ rigorous sampling methods to ensure that the results are reliable and applicable to the broader legal context.
What are differences between research associate research assistant and research intern?
Research associate: A person who supports a research project under a principle investigator and usually possesses a post-graduate level education (Masters/PhD)
Research assistant: A person who supports a research project under a principle investigator, and is not responsible for the outcome of the experiments, usually possesses a graduate level education (Bachelors)
Research intern: A person who supports a research project under a principle investigator, usually as part of a course requirement or towards fulfillment of a degree/diploma.
An annotation is a comment or explanation. An annotated source, therefore, is a reference to a book or an article plus a comment about that source. For example, here's a source: For interesting discussions of English usage, see, H.W. Fowler, A Dictionary of Modern English Usage, Oxford University Press, 1926 [now, here comes the annotation].
"Fowler's English Usage," as it is known to its loyal fans, has been revised twice: the second edition (1965) was edited by Gowers (buy the paperback edition if you want this revision); the third edition (1996) was edited by Birchfield.
John Updike, the American novelist, panned the Birchfield edition, claiming that it was not really an edition of Fowler's work at all and that it should not have carried Fowler's name. Birchfield shot back a rebuttal, which was printed in subsequent printings of the "new" Fowler's Modern English Usage. For charm and idiosyncratic opinions, see the original 1926 edition or the second edition, 1965; for up-to-date scholarship about the topics covered, see the "new" 1996 third edition.
I'm actually doing this homework and what I found to be the answers:
- scientist cannot determine quantity or quality of evidence thus not all standard tests can be conducted
-conclusion of origin of a specific item must be made by the practical experience of the examiner
- don't know a third
What is a good research report topic for an 8th grader?
Here are 28 topics to use and a question to get you started on your report

A first impression when meeting another person is your hygiene, how you dress and your personality. This makes up your character and one should never try to be anyone else, but themselves.
When you have a first impression it should be good enough where that person knows they can trust you.
it leads to conclusions that are not debatable and is too narrow a topic.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of an indirect oral interview?
Indirect questioning may make a person feel more at ease with the question if it is of a sensitive nature. Indirect questions can also be used to coerse a person to provide an answer to a question that has not really been asked. The question, "I wouldn't say that car is blue, would you?" is an indirect question because it may prompt the person to give the asker their opinion rather than to answer the question correctly with a simple "yes" or "no" answer. They may answer, "No, I would say it's more of a green than a blue." This was not the question asked but it produced the desired information.
What are the characteristics of good appropriate aid?
Good appropriate aid is characterized by its relevance to the specific needs of the target population, ensuring it addresses their unique challenges and circumstances. It is delivered in a timely manner, facilitating immediate assistance and long-term development. Additionally, effective aid is transparent, accountable, and promotes local empowerment, fostering sustainable solutions rather than dependency. Lastly, it involves collaboration with local stakeholders to enhance effectiveness and cultural appropriateness.
What does it mean when square brackets are used around the year in a case citation?
In case citations, the issue of whether the year is contained within brackets or parentheses is a very important matter. Brackets indicate that the year actually forms part of the title of the volume. If the year is in parentheses, it does not form part of the volume title. When the year does not form part of the title of the volume, it is a reporting series arranged by consecutively numbered volumes (e.g., 1-100). In a reporting series using brackets, the volumes are arranged by year. At one time, many reporting series published just one volume per year, so arranging the volumes by year was a simple matter. When more and more cases began being reported, resulting in several volumes being published per year, things started to get confusing. If you have a chance to wander through a law library, browse through the stacks and observe how each reporting series is numbered, both the current and the older ones. When you cite a case, it is also very important to know where the comma should be placed. Some professors will dock marks if the comma is not in the right spot. First, the commas are never placed within either the brackets or the parentheses. If the reporting series uses brackets, the comma comes immediately after the name of the case, and before the year of the volume. If the year is in parentheses, the comma comes after the year and before the volume number. Finally, don't assume that the year on the cover of the volume is actually the year when the case was decided. Always turn to the actual case and note the date of the judgment.
prudence could be applied to any judgment, the more difficult tasks, which distinguish a person as prudent, are those in which various goods have to be weighed against each other, as when a person is determining what would be best to give charitable donations, or how to punish a child so as to prevent repeating an offense.
