Research methodology M2 Daniel Trew
In this assignment I will be justifying the research methodologies I chose
for my piece of research project. My previous piece of research was on the
disorder ADHD.
Whenever I was planning on what method of research, I would use to
carry out my research on ADHD I came to the final choice of a
questionnaire. My hypothesis for this research was the public views and
knowledge of the disorder. As mentioned in my P4 I chose this disorder
due to my past experiences with it during my work experience. Whenever
carrying out this research I found that questionnaires were a good and

research as the information was easy obtainable and it was quick as it
allowed me to get my answers quickly. I was able to hand out
questionnaires to a range of participants in my college and in my work,
Glenabbey manor. Having this wide range of places to hand out my
questionnaires meant that I had a wide sample group which would give
me more reliable results. Another reason why I believe questionnaires are
the best method for research is due to the fact they are a form of primary
research. This enabled me to acquire a better overall understanding of
individuals opinions on ADHD and their knowledge of the disorder. The
fact that I was able to have a wide range of diverse participants means
that this contributed to getting a wider scope of understanding
individuals’ opinions (University of Liverpool, 2017).
However, once I had started my research using the method of
questionnaires, I found that financial consideration was also something
that needed thinking about. I would need to plan and organise a
maximum amount I could spend on the research. I will also need to
organise how many copies of the questionnaire I would need to
