Question: For this worksheet task, you will identify a gap in abnormal psychology research and begin to develop a basic research question to address the identified gap.
First, review the literature from the five articles in your chosen track (three that were provided for you and two that you chose on your own). Identify a gap in the research from your articles. Based on that research gap, develop a question to address the gap.
Research Question
1. Develop a basic research question addressing the identified gap. In other words, create a question that you could answer in research further investigating your identified gap. Remember: An effective research question should be clear and focus your research. Ideally, it should also be something that you are interested in or care about.
2. Within family-focused treatment for schizophrenia, are therapeutic outcomes impacted by a race/ethnic/spiritual mismatch between a patient and his or her family?
