Research Proposal – Deciding
Interviewee Numbers
The questions are:
1. how do you decide how many
people you are going to interview (or how many case files) and how do you make
your expectations clear?
** do you get them to sign a
written consent and outline the expectations in form.
2. would the purpose of this
research be to determine if an individuals socioeconomic level coincides with
that individuals propensity to abuse?
3. How would I select and recruit
my sample?
4. Is there any potential risk or
harm to participants or yourself?
If yes, what are the potential
risks, and what do you intend to do to reduce them?
*** I think the answer to this is
no since confidentiality will be ensured. The participants will either be in
the system for abusing or a victim of abuse…..
5. How will you take into
consideration cultural diversity (for example, would it be prudent to use
interpreters, or translators)? And, how would I address issues of power
imbalances? (I would think since the research will be done through surveys and
questionnaires there will not be power imbalances because both methods are not
threatening)?
