Write a research hypothesis for this topic: Substance abuse among adolescents and youth unemployment. Is this a quantitative or a qualitative research?

Qualitative research would be more suitable. This is because we are not looking to prove or disprove a hypothesis, but we are just trying to get a better understanding of students' satisfaction. Student satisfaction is based on personal opinions of each individual so it could be carried out by surveys and interviews. 
2. Quantitative research as we are looking at the relationship between two areas. Initially, it could be qualitative research like surveys but during the process we could use quantitative research such as using statistics and data collection. 
3. Hypothesis: Adolescents and youths using drugs could lead to addiction and unemployment. 
It is a quantitative form of research as it is trying to prove or disprove a hypothesis. 
4. Close-ended questionnaires as researching includes youths, different age groups can be included. It will also provide more data and statistics while in-depth interviews could be a long process. 
On the other hand, in-depth interviews may be a good way to attract more attention from the youths of today's world. Qualitative research is more based on questions like "how" and "why". In-depth interviews could be a better way to obtain data as there could be more open-ended questions in the interview that would be able to obtain more varied and detailed answers from students. ]]> 2022-04-12 11:01:26 UTC https://padlet.com/usictech/q9i6oe8rn6xxbxex/wish/2140640447 Group 4: Lisa and Mara yphon1 https://padlet.com/usictech/q9i6oe8rn6xxbxex/wish/2140641945 1) Qualitative Research because
  1.  it aims to explore their view through dynamic and various data. 
  2. focus on contextual understanding 
  3. Unsuitable to apply quantitative research because it does not aim to define relationship between two variables 
2) Quantitative Research because: 
  • aims to explore relationship between two variables 
  • include hard and reliable data 
  • under the researcher's view since it consists of statistics and factual data 
3) The more the adolescents use excessive substances, the more it aggravates their chances of getting employed. [Quantitative Research] 

4) Qualitative: in-depth interview because 

  • it gives participants an opportunity to  explain how it becomes an interest of theirs; based on their own unique perspective
  •  approach the collection of data more thoroughly 
  • closed-ended questions only gives optional answers and leading questions

The method we think best to use for "students’ satisfaction in the College" is qualitative research. This topic is more a subjective so using surveys are better way to explore the outcomes.

2. For the second topic "the relationship between age and religiosity in the UK," we think it is better to use quantitative method. Finding relationship is actually finding the proportion and percentage in each set of outcomes. Therefore, comparing different age groups with different religious through data and statistics could be easier.

3. Hypothesis of Substance abuse among adolescents and youth unemployment:

-The increasing in drug abuse affects adolescents in the rate of youth unemployment

It is a quantitative research which indicate proportion (unemployment rate) and data to consider the impacts of substance abuse. To prove whether the hypothesis is correct.

4. They should use qualitative method, in-depth interview to get more information for the topic, reason:
1) Huge variety of fields and interests, this could give them more chance to explain their thoughts.
2) close-ended questionnaires only provides optional choices that could to explore detailed information of the topic. ]]> 2022-04-12 11:10:04 UTC https://padlet.com/usictech/q9i6oe8rn6xxbxex/wish/2140647387 Group 5 - Radia and Eesha erajakumar1 https://padlet.com/usictech/q9i6oe8rn6xxbxex/wish/2140647411 1) Quantitative research - give out a survey with a scale from 1-5 for example, with 1 being mostly unsatisfied and 5 being mostly satisfied, collect data and figure out the percentages or the ratio between the unsatisfied and satisfied students.

2) Since the relationship between age and religiosity is subjective, interviews would be the most effective to receive an accurate and reliable conclusion through reflection or observation of the data. Therefore, we would use a quantitative research method to understand the proportion of people from all age groups and observe the patterns regarding their religiosity.

3) Hypothesis: substance abuse is more common amongst adolescence and the unemployed youth. There are more likely to be chain smokers and over-consume alcohol and use illicit and prescription 
drugs.  This is a quantitative research method as we can collect numerical data on the effect of substance abuse on youth unemployment rates. 

4) In-depth interviews - uncovering the issues in order to obtain detailed results which allows an insight into the experiences of the youth in 2022 and what influences them to become more interested in freelancing. This allows for the collection of subjective data and particular specialised results that is less generalisable.]]> 2022-04-12 11:10:07 UTC https://padlet.com/usictech/q9i6oe8rn6xxbxex/wish/2140647411 Group 2 - Garcia Osa Chloe zwei36 https://padlet.com/usictech/q9i6oe8rn6xxbxex/wish/2140653473  
1)To test student satisfaction, qualitative research would be a better option, for example, some questionnaires and surveys. Because Qualitative research is much more flexible student satisfaction is actually about students' minds, so it's complex and can't simply be drawn from scientific data. Qualitative research focuses on people's subjective thoughts, feelings, emotions, ideas, meanings, and opinions, not facts. It is suitable for testing people's minds.
 
2)Quantitative research would be a better choice to find the relationship between age and religiosity in the UK.
 
3)The unemployment of young teenagers will rise as they abuse more substances. Quantitative research. it's a quantitative research,and i'd like to use Secondary analysis of data sets to deal with this research. Because we need quite a lot of statistics for this research. I don't think we have enough ability and energy to collect the data by ourselves through questionnaires and observations. it's quantitative research,and I'd like to use Secondary analysis of data sets to deal with this research.

4)Qualitative Research. The interview will provide an environment for 2 people to communicate without the interruption from a third person. The interviewee will be more relaxed and will give more comprehensive answers. For questioners， the answer will be too limited.
