• RESEARCH QUESTION: WHY DO WOMEN KILL THEIR CHILDREN?
• A nine page paper in which you create a research question based on your topic of interest, but also related to the disciplines within the behavioral sciences.
• In this paper, create a research question and explain what specific type of research method you would use if you were to conduct research to answer your research question. Do not conduct any research. Be sure to explain why you would choose this method and how it is better than some of the other methods for answering your question.
• In addition, discuss the strengths and weaknesses of your proposed research method, and use citations from the textbook. This will be the "heart" of this paper. Be sure to explain this section in detail and provide specific examples. Relate the strengths and weaknesses to your topic, and how, as a researcher, you would compensate for any weaknesses.
• Keep in mind that research methods are not right or wrong, just appropriate or not appropriate for answering the research question.
• Explain the ethical considerations to keep in mind if you were to conduct research on your chosen topic. How would you address confidentiality and anonymity (Hint: You can't have both)? How would you protect your subjects or participants?
• You will also be expected to briefly summarize and cite from a minimum of five (5) scholarly articles and the textbook. Minimum means that you have met this requirement for the assignment, which equates to a letter grade of C (satisfactory) for this rubric category.
• You may use other high quality non-scholarly sources.
