Reasearch Methods...Last Week!!! Post 1

The research method I found most interesting was ethnography. “The researcher observes behavior in its natural setting” (Trenholm 374). I find this to be the most interesting because the researcher is developing their conclusions off what they see instead of having a set research agenda in hand and systematically conducting a research analysis. To study deception a research question I may use would say “In a relationship who tends to lie more, men or women? For this question I would most likely use Survey research because it is typically the easiest to code and would be the easiest to get a set response to my question given that the population I distributed the surveys to were equal in gender.
