How do I choose the right research study for my project?

Choosing the right research study involves considering your research question, methodology, and available resources. What specific area are you focusing on?

I'm interested in social psychology, but I'm not sure what type of study to look for.

For social psychology, you might consider experimental studies to test hypotheses or observational studies to gather data on behaviors. Do you have a specific hypothesis in mind?

I want to explore the impact of social media on self-esteem.

That's a great topic! You could look for studies that use surveys to assess self-esteem levels or experiments that manipulate social media exposure. Would you like help finding specific studies?

Yes, that would be helpful! Where should I start looking?

You can start by searching academic databases like Google Scholar, JSTOR, or PubMed. Additionally, check university libraries for access to journals. Would you like tips on how to search effectively?
