Culture in social research

Reference no: EM1381957

Looking at research from a cultural perspective, I have to identify and describe instances when a particular research methodology "quantitative, qualitative, or mixed-method"might work best with a specific population and when it might be problematic. As examples, when working with a physically impaired population in a qualitative research project, one might need to provide special physical accommodation to enable research subjects to complete desired tasks. For a mentally challenged population, one might need to consider the comprehension level of research subjects when designing a study. The project requires that I evaluate different approaches for dealing with diverse sample populations when designing a research project. Some specific populations to examine might include minorities, homeless people, mentally challenged people, developmentally challenged people, or people with alternate lifestyles. In addition, reflective beliefs and bias may impact research and professional practice and should be addressed in the project. I have begun the project but a comparison would help to insure that I am approaching this in the right aspect.
