While some of you may have many research questions that interest you, others may have difficulty coming up with one. Some steps that may help you formulate your research topic and questions are to think about a certain group and a particular social problem, social or psychological phenomena, or interventions for that group .
Then think about the relationships between the two and any questions you may have about these relationships. For example, what are the causes of housing instability for single adolescent mothers? Are housing vouchers or section 8 an effective intervention for reducing housing instability in this group? Does level of family stress make a difference in housing stability for these mothers?
