Example Research Projects

Although this research manual is mainly written with the more advanced researcher in mind, I am well aware that everyone has to start someplace. With this in mind, I offer the following ten research projects on which emerging researchers can develop and hone their skills They have all been designed to be challenging, but still ‘do-able’, hopefully with enough background information to make both the goals and the required methodology clear. However, although the basic research designs are relatively straightforward, understanding the full implications of the results will require a more sophisticated mastery of the ideas presented throughout this volume.
