The Research Question

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

A research question narrows a topic into something a study can actually answer, specifying who is studied, what is measured, and where.

Show

"Is social media bad?" answers nothing. "Do teenagers who post daily report more loneliness than those who post weekly?" can be tested.

Watch for

A question too broad to fail is also too broad to answer.
