Types and Purpose
The Research Question serves two purposes:
- it determines where and what kind of research the writer will be looking for and
- it identifies the specific objectives the study or paper will address.
Therefore, the writer must first identify the type of study (Qualitative, Quantitative, or Mixed) before the Research Question is developed.

Famous quotes containing the words types and/or purpose:
“The American man is a very simple and cheap mechanism. The American woman I find a complicated and expensive one. Contrasts of feminine types are possible. I am not absolutely sure that there is more than one American man.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
“Most Americans are born drunk, and really require a little wine or beer to sober them. They have a sort of permanent intoxication from within, a sort of invisible champagne.... Americans do not need to drink to inspire them to do anything, though they do sometimes, I think, need a little for the deeper and more delicate purpose of teaching them how to do nothing.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
