(* Research Studies Questionnaire)
The Research Studies Questionnaire aims to gather comprehensive data for academic or scientific investigations. It typically comprises structured questions designed to collect specific information relevant to the study’s objectives. The questionnaire format allows researchers to efficiently gather data from a large sample size while ensuring consistency and reliability in responses.
Key components of a research questionnaire include demographic information, such as age, gender, and education level, which provide context for the analysis. Additionally, the questionnaire may contain Likert scale or multiple-choice questions to measure attitudes, perceptions, or behaviors related to the research topic. Open-ended questions might also be included to allow participants to express nuanced opinions or provide additional insights.
Careful design and piloting of the questionnaire are essential to ensure its validity and reliability. Researchers should consider factors such as clarity of language, appropriateness of question wording, and the order of questions to minimize bias and maximize response accuracy. By effectively utilizing research questionnaires, investigators can gather valuable data to address research hypotheses and contribute to advancing knowledge in their respective fields.
Search for research articles from peer-reviewed publications in the University Library. Examples of peer-reviewed publications are listed in Table 2.1 in Chapter 2 of Methods in Behavioral Research. **Link below**

Select four research articles to review. Include at least one applied research article and one basic research article. Be sure to apply the scientific method to evaluate the evidence presented in the selected articles. Use these articles as a framework for completing the questionnaire.
Write a 100- to 500-word answer to each of the following questions:
PART I:
- What is the purpose of each of the sections in a typical research article?
- What are the steps to critically evaluate research articles and how does the scientific method help you do this?
PART II:
- What is the importance of research in behavioral sciences?
- What is the relationship between applied research and basic research? Provide an example from your selected studies, of how each contributes to the body of knowledge.
- What ethical issues can you identify in the selected articles? How were the issues addressed or neglected?
PART III:
- Identify three possible research topics that you might want to explore further as you go through this course.
- List appropriate sources, including databases that you might use when exploring these topics.
Cite the articles using a reference page.
Format your answers according to APA guidelines.
