Visit the Research Methods research guide in the Ashford University Library and search the databases for a minimum of one peer-reviewed journal article published within the last 10 years about each of the research designs you selected. The articles must not be research studies using the designs. Instead, they must be about how to conduct a study using the design. Examples of acceptable articles for this assignment are listed at the Suggested Articles tab in the Research Methods research guide.

In your paper, briefly outline the topic you selected for your Final Research Proposal in Week One and apply the scientific method by suggesting both a specific research question and a hypothesis for the topic. Evaluate your chosen peer-reviewed articles summarizing each and explaining how the research design described could be useful for designing original research on your topic. Compare and contrast the paradigms or worldviews inherent in the methodology associated with each research design. Apply professional standards and situate yourself as a researcher by identifying which of these approaches best fits with your worldview.

Research methods literature review
Sensation is a process whereby an individual utilizes the senses of smell, taste, sound,
touch, and sight to sense the environment. This message is then conveyed to their brains in a raw
mode when perception comes into play. Perception involves the interpretation of such sensations
and thus makes sure that individuals have a sense of the environment around them, (Goldstein,
2008). The research question was on whether when people smell a fragrant flower, are they
experiencing a perception or a sensation? The hypothesis tested was, therefore, most individuals
experience perceptions when they feel things around them, such as the fragrance of a flower. As
such, this paper seeks to evaluate how survey research, Solomon four-group, phenomenological,
and exploratory research designs can be used to design original research on this topic.
The article, “Understanding and Evaluating Survey Research” by Julio Ponto (2015),
defines survey as a method of gathering information from a sample of individuals by asking
them questions and obtaining their responses (Ponto, 2015). When an individual is using survey
design to conduct specific research, he or she collects data from a particular sample of
individuals by using different methods such as closed-ended and open-ended questions,
observations, as well as interviews. It is the most commonly used nonexperimental research
design because it facilitates the collection of the significant amount of survey data from some
individuals who are taken as the sample to represent the rest of the population through the use of
a variety of metho...
