Key features of scientific research:

Objectivity=  it sees and accepts facts as they are, not as one might wish they were.

Can be verified

Ethically neutral= meaning it only seeks knowledge.

Reliability 

Accuracy

Include explanations and predictions

2.Basic research involves "why, what, how" questions to explain things we are curious about, looking at how processes or concepts work. Information obtained from basic research often creates a foundation for applied studies.

examples: studying the growth of a cat from embryo to born, studying the origins of cells.

Applied research is a type of examination looking to find practical solutions for existing problems. These can include challenges in the workplace, education and society. This research type uses empirical methodologies, such as experiments, to collect further data in an area of study. 

There are three types of applied researches:

Action research: Action research helps businesses find practical solutions to problems by giving them guidance.

Evaluation research: In evaluation research, researchers analyse existing information to help clients make an informed decision.

Research and development: Research and development focuses on creating new products or services to meet a target market's needs.

Examples: A study to find ways to make car tires last longer,  A study exploring ways to cook gluten-free meals with a limited budget, and A study on how to treat patients with insomnia, etc.

Methodology: 

Rationale for the research approach.

Howell, 2013 described methodology as: “General research strategy that outlines the way in which research is to be undertaken” 

Examples include: Participatory, Grounding theory, etc.

Method: The tools and solutions you used to answer and solve questions, the source of where you obtain data for an experiment.

Examples: Interview, Usability study ,Survey, Diary study, etc

3.Of the two I would choose Questionnaires to collect data in my research, since it provide a relatively cheap, quick and efficient way of obtaining large amounts of information from a large sample of people. Data can be collected relatively quickly because the researcher would not need to be present when the questionnaires were completed.

The scientific method is the system used by scientists to explore data, generate and test hypotheses, develop new theories and confirm or reject earlier results. Although the exact methods used in the different sciences vary (for example, physicists and psychologists work in very different ways), they share some fundamental attributes that may be called characteristics of the scientific method.

2.social sciences assist people in better understanding how to interact with the social world—how to influence policy, build networks, improve government accountability, and promote democracy. For many people around the world, these difficulties are urgent, and their resolution can make a significant difference in people's lives.
For example, a study of behaviour at football matches has shown that if police avoid heavy-handed tactics this can help maintain crowd control in potentially hostile situations. The study's findings on how to create a less confrontational atmosphere are being included in police training across Europe.

3.Basic Research is experimental or theoretical work that is conducted in order to acquire knowledge of facts without application of views. Applied Research is an investigation conducted in order to acquire knowledge on a topic in general. It is often directed at an aim or objective.
Examples:
Basic research: A research to discover the components of the human DNA.
How do teaching methods affect student's concentration in class? 

 Applied research examples: A study into marketing strategies to appeal to the aspirations of millenials in China.
An investigation into the ways of improving employee motivation in Marriot Hotel, Hyde Park

Activity1.2
1. Methodology is theoretical approaches and philosophical approaches. It is practiced considerations that decide our choice of research process. Research methods are techniques for collecting data, e.g. interviewing, observation, questionnaire

2.Social scientists need to discuss the methodology in order to understand how research can be and should be done. This analysis of methods and the overall framework of assumptions is a way to ensure that our concussion to a problem is valid and reliable.

3.We prefer questionnaires when it comes to the method of data collection as they gather data in a more materialistic form. When it comes to interviews, having a face to face conversation can be unsettling for specific people while in a questionnaire, not only will it remove the pressure of having another person but also provide the participant as much time as they need to answer each question.

Applied basic research: it refers to the basic research whose direction has been relatively clear and whose achievements can be used to achieve industrial technological breakthroughs in a short period of time. The theoretical research in applied research is also called "applied basic research".

3)Method refers to the use of various skills, strategies, and tools within a research project, while on the other hand, the methodology is the philosophical and theoretical justification of a certain chosen method. 

4)This is because without first deciding on the methodology, which is the theoretical approach towards data-collecting and the research as a whole, as well as the employment of correct procedures in seeking out credible answers, it is difficult for social scientist to decide on what research method to adopt.

5)We will use the questionnaire method because it is more efficient and can save the time of analysis, as well as it has objectivity and respondents can speak freely

2. When is it good to procrastinate?

3. When is it really bad to procrastinate?

4. What kinds of things do you put off doing?

5. How do you feel when other people put off something you want to do soon?
6. To what extent is identifying procrastination as “pressure prompted” appropriate? 

Method: survey and questionnaire
Participant: University students

The idea of procrastination is integrated into this session so that you will become aware of a range of issues requiring further investigation. This research problem shines the light on issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, guilt, burnouts, insecurity, conflict, etc. 

Since the 1960s and 1970s, western feminism has found that the reason for the inequality between men and women does not lie in biological gender, but

In terms of gender, they advocated the separation of gender in the biological sense from gender roles constructed by society and culture

To come.

the definition ：The so-called "equality between men and women" is not the equality of men and women without distinction. This "absolute equality" concept ignores the social system and social structure

Male privilege and female disadvantage limit the function and effect of equal rights, and ultimately only bring about the continuous inequality between the sexes

Femininity is not always seen as undesirable in the workplace, and femininity is valued in all kinds of jobs. Women's skills related to communication and emotional labor are often highly valued in front-line service jobs (Kerfoot & Korczynski, 2005; Korczynski, 2002; Pettinger, 2005). However, as Kelan (2008) points out, this does not necessarily mean that women benefit, since men are just as good, if not better, at profiting from the currency of femininity in particular workplace Settings. Male displays of femininity in the workplace may be highly valued and rewarded, while similar displays by women may simply be dismissed as "natural" expressions of femininity (Taylor & Tyler, 2000). Thus, individuals are constantly doing gender in the workplace, and both men and women can "do" femininity and masculinity. It is these different values of gender expression that may lead to gender inequality, with the expression of masculinity and femininity generally valued more and considered more authentic than the expression of femininity. As a result, the rhetoric of success is gendered, and men and women have different perceptions of what it means to succeed in work and organizational Settings.
