Question

 Name the steps in the process that the clinical sociologist would use to gather enough information to determine an intervention

Answer 1

·Sociological inquiry, enthusiasm in a certain topic, study money from a governmental or commercial agency, and pressing social concerns all play a role in choosing a subject.

·Clarifying what the investigator intends to know about the issue is part of defining the challenge.

·Reviewing the literature reveals current information about the topic, aids in narrowing the challenge and determining which sections require more investigation, and generates suggestions for inquiries.

·A premise is a statement that describes the predicted connection between elements based on predictions from a concept. Operational definitions, or specific techniques to quantify the parameters, are required for assumptions.

·The study subject and the questions that need to be addressed impact the chosen research technique.

·Validity, or the amount to which operational definitions measure what was intended, and reliability, or the extent to which data generate consistent findings, are both considerations while collecting data. Insufficient operational definitions and samples harm reliability.

·Evaluating the findings entails employing either qualitative or quantitative information analysis approaches. Because they compress vast volumes of data to fundamental patterns, take the tedium out of data analysis, allow the researcher to perform a range of statistical tests, and offer the researcher more time to evaluate the results, computers have become powerful instruments in data analysis.

·The findings can be replicated by writing up and reporting the findings. That is, people can replicate your research to see whether they get comparable results.
