Answers in Terre Blanche et al. (2006) and/or Project 4805 guidelines or ANY OTHER
RELEVANT RESEARCH SOURCE.

Activity 1:
Provide 6 characteristics of (or ‘rules’ for) a good title for a research article or a research
report. (Terre Blanche et al. (2006), p. 122)

1. Convey the gist of the article.

2. Short (5 to 10 words). (For M and D students at Unisa the rule is that a title should be no

longer than 15 words.)

3. Leave out words like: a study, investigate, research etc

4. Reflect main idea or focus of article – not too short to obscure meaning

5. Short catchy phrase might be used with more detailed title after.

6. Any other relevant answer [6]


Activity 2:
The following title does not comply with the rules for a good title: ‘Morals down the drain? A
research study investigating the relationship between different variables of moral
development in South African adolescent boys and girls between 12 and 18 years of age’.
Correct this title by providing a better title which complies with the rules for a good title.

, Any title that conveys the principles in Activity 1. The shorter the better. A good example
is: “Determinants of moral development in South African adolescents”, or with a short catchy
title before the main title. But no vague terms like “different variables”; not the ages; not the
sexes; South African can be part of the title or not. Not words like “research study”,
“investigating”, “investigation” etc. [5]


Activity 3:
Provide a provisional title for your research project. (You will probably change the title a
couple of times – a normal process as your knowledge and understanding increases). [5]

Any suitable title relevant to your research. The main issues covered in the questionnaire (and
literature) are: Identity development, Moral development, parental influence, and off course
adolescence. These issues should off course be reflected but in such a way that the reader
knows exactly what you intend to do in your study. Do not use vague titles like: “Moral
development in adolescence.” The reader might ask: “What about moral development during
adolescence?” A title like: “Variables influencing moral development” is also too vague and
you will lose some marks for a vague title.
Notes to marker: If a title is vague but workable, like the latter one above, give 3 marks out of
5)


Activity 4:
Complete the following sentences: (Terre Blanche et al. (2006), p. 123 or any other relevant
research source) [10]


An abstract is a summary of the main points made in the article (and is typically 200 words in

length). / Provides an overview of the study to the reader. (4 marks)



An abstract should answer three main questions, namely: (1 mark for each answer)



(a) Why? - Why the study was conducted

(b) How? – How the study was conducted
