Research Proposal Plans to Investigate, Building on the Main Theme

Assignment Task

Research Objectives

Research objectives indicate in more detail the specific research topics or issues the project plans to investigate, building on the main theme stated in the research goals. Normally at least two or three research objectives will be stated. It is good practice to put these in a numbered list so they can be clearly identified later in a proposal or report. Here is an example of a set of research objectives:

1. To examine whether alcohol consumption is associated with increased partner violence.

2. To examine whether labor force status (employment, unemployment, not in the labor force) is associated with variations in the incidence of partner violence.

3. To explore differences between couples with an extended history of partner violence and couples with only a brief, recent history of partner violence.

Research questions

In some situations, rather than stating research objectives, researchers will prefer to use research questions. In the example below, the objectives stated in the previous example are reframed as research questions:

1. Is alcohol consumption associated with increased partner violence?

2. Is labor force status (employment, unemployment, not in the labor force associated with variations in the incidence of partner violence?

3. Are there differences between couples with an extended history of partner violence and couples with only a brief, recent history of partner violence?
