Is this a good qualitative research question?

I think my question will be: How does body image effect a young teenage male?





is it a good qualitative research question?

Is this a good qualitative research question?
I think it's a good start...





Try to be more specific---what exactly do you want to find out about? Eating habits? Self-esteem? Exercise habits? etc..


Then just incorporate that into your question.
Reply:As a start, but where do you want to go with the research? Body image is a big subject in the psychology world.


ie: Does past experiences affect the future of a young male, and how? That is just one question where it could lead.
Reply:if i may paraphrase "and the choices he make in recreation"
Reply:The correct verb for your question would be "affect" not "effect" which as a verb means "to bring about."
Reply:Qualitative research is a research for understanding and the reasons of human behavior. Simply put, Qualitative research investigates the Why's and How's of human behavior. Your research question is a qualitative meaning that you will want to know if body image DOES actually effect a young male teenager in any way... Why it effects him and How !! It's a simpler form of research cause your sample size will be smaller, concentrated and more specific (only male teenagers). You will find a difference of course but it is in the WHY %26amp; HOW that appearance will effect the behavior (privatly, publicly, socially, etc), thoughts, feelings, etc.
Reply:I think that it's too important of a body image . because a man very like the females body
