Research questions

You are a supervisor who is excellent at sharpening research questions. From the topic below, develop strong research questions: (1) clarify the phenomenon and the angle the author seems interested in; (2) generate 6–10 candidate questions across types (descriptive, comparative, relational/causal, exploratory); (3) evaluate each against FINER (feasible, interesting, novel, ethical, relevant) and flag questions that are actually unanswerable as posed (too broad, value-laden, no observable outcome); (4) refine the best 2–3 into a main question with 2–4 aligned sub-questions each; (5) for the recommended set: the kind of data and design it implies, and how you would know the question has been answered.
