Major Assignment 1: Developing a Research Topic for a Qualitative Study

The first step in qualitative research is to identify a problem related to a topic of interest. As you begin to consider your topic, researching peer-reviewed articles is critical to helping you find any gaps in the research that will transform your topic into a viable research problem. Three of these articles will comprise your Annotated Bibliography for this Major Assignment 1.

Using the topic or research idea you choose in Week 1 Discussion 2, you will begin your work on Part 1 of this Major Assignment 1. You will begin your search for literature to find three articles that will inform your topic of study from a scholarly perspective.

To prepare for this Assignment:

  • Review the Major Assignment 1: Developing a Research Topic for a Qualitative Study Assignment Overview and Guidelines and follow the format and guidelines in this document to create your Major Assignment 1.
  • Review the Walden Writing Center website related to problem statements.
  • Review the Walden Writing Center websites related to annotated bibliographies and consider how you will need to create your annotated bibliography for this Major Assignment.
  • Attend the Walden Library Lab webinar and consider how you will need to use the Library to assist you in your research. Use the Course Guide and Assignment Help found in this week’s Learning Resources for further information.
  • Use the Course Guide and Assignment Help to search and select three articles related to your personal topic of study and include one literature review or meta-analysis article, one theory article, and one research article. The research article may either be from a quantitative or qualitative perspective. This will begin your annotated bibliography that will contribute to your topic of study for the final Major Assignment 1.

For this week, you will work on Part 1 of this Major Assignment.

Part 1

  • Create a title page for your Major Assignment 1. Use the Major Assignment 1: Developing a Research Topic for a Qualitative Study Assignment Overview and Guidelines for proper formatting of your paper.
  • Write a problem statement based on your topic of study. Develop a 1- to 2-paragraph statement that is the result of a review of the articles you located on your topic.
    1. Briefly describe the phenomena you are interested in studying.
    2. Briefly summarize the key findings or what is understood about this phenomena based on the three articles you reviewed.
    3. Briefly identify the “gap”—what do you see as an important, relevant, next step in learning more about this topic that would be appropriate for a qualitative study.
  • Include your Annotated Bibliography section.

Part 2

  • Write a purpose statement using terminology of qualitative research. The purpose statement should contain:
    1. A statement using the following template: The purpose of this qualitative study is to[choose one: explore, describe, understand, explain] the meaning/experience/culture/stories of [phenomenon of interest] in [population/setting].
    2. A justification of why the purpose of your study is suited for the qualitative approach in terms of:
      • The phenomena you choose
      • The “fit” with a constructivist epistemology and ontology
      • The relevance of the naturalistic setting or context to the phenomena of interest
    3. Based on your knowledge of reflexivity, explain your relationship to the problem; and the issues of bias and positionality to be addressed. Include a brief description of the setting and possible sources of data.
  • Write a research question using terminology of qualitative research. (Note: This could be the same research question you created in your Discussion 1 for this week ONLY if it applies to your topic of study for this Assignment.)

    The research question should incorporate and mirror the purpose statement using the following template: What is the meaning/experience/culture/stories of [phenomenon of interest] in [population/setting]?
  • Include your updated Annotated Bibliography section.

The Research Question

The research questions for the study is 1. How many young women experience domestic violence or sexual abuse? 2. How often have the young women been in the juvenile detention centers? 3. What are the most important factors that have influenced the reason to confirm or transition? 4. What services has helped with the transitioning to productive citizens? 5. What percentage of girls have returned to criminal behavior and what percentage has maintained productivity? 6. What information have I gathered to determine my conclusions?

How does Parental Divorce affect the Adulthood of the Children, their Intimate Relationships,
and Emotional Distress related to Social Development?

Problem Statement

Divorces have been increasing in the United States, an issue that has become a huge
concern for researchers. Researchers are starting to examine the effects of this trend on the
children. Psychologists agree that divorce has significant effects on the lives of the children.
Both the father and mother play an important role in the development of their children. They
instill discipline and social skills (Wallerstein & Lewis, 2004. Divorce impacts the female and
male child differently. Male children from divorced families tend to withdraw from relationships
involvement. They avoid relationships altogether. They fear that the relationship will eventually
dissolve. On the other side, the females tend to deal with the absence of the parents especially the
father by looking for male partners. They tend to be more promiscuous than their male
counterparts are.

The occurrence of the above-stated problems is not well understand since most research
focuses on the short haul effects of divorce on offsprings. The long-term effects are severe and
affect the children even in their adulthoods. It is believed that children who come from divorced
families are likely to have issues with their intimate relationships. These children are normally
separated from one or both parents, and the parent-child relationship deteriorates as they grow
up. This gap impacts a great part of the children lives (Whitton, 2008).The research conducted on
the long haul effects of divorce focuses more on the intimacy aspects of their lives and disregards
their social development. There is need to understand how divorce affects all parts of the
children lives in their adulthood. This research aims to rectify the issue by studying the lives of
