Week 5: Assignment 2


Or this week’s research, finding an empirical peer-review study was interesting. The database I went into provided me with several studies completed which focused on many different aspects of my research question. I found comparative, clinical, and observational studies all of which were relevant. Although last week my research question addressed two aspects, I have now decided to focuses on one. My new research question is “How do adolescents fall into eating disorders?” With this question, I will look at different influential aspects such as physiological/cognitive/emotional problems, social norms, and cultural expectations.

            Throughout these past weeks I have also learned several different research techniques which have expanded the amount of information I have been able to gather. I am no longer relying on Google for the answers, instead I am using several different databases and researching articles and books. I feel like these past weeks have also taught me to double check the sources and make sure they are legitimate and accurate.
