Research Method
Question 1
Oprah Winfrey once famously said “The struggle of my life created empathy – I could relate to pain, being abandoned, having people not love me.” This suggests that real empathy for others emerges only when one has direct experience(s) of personal anguish as opposed to mere, indirect knowledge of the sufferings of others. Do you agree?
Design a research study that could help you draw some initial conclusions about whether empathy for others entails personally experiencing what others have experienced, or whether empathy can be taught through mere indirect, knowledge of the experiences of others. In addition, consider one personality trait that may be correlated with the ability to experience empathy.
Prepare a research proposal comprising the following sections to present your proposed study:
1. Introduction
2. Literature Review
3. Hypotheses Development
4. Methodology
References (5 marks)
The References section lists the full reference of all sources cited or referred to in your assignment.
Develop an understanding of the research process overview:
1. Review past research on “empathy” by searching for relevant books and academic articles on the topic. Useful sources of information include:
• SIM Library
• National Libraries
2. Evaluate what previous research has found, focusing particularly on findings related to your research question.
3. Design a research study to address the research question that you have constructed.
4. Write your research proposal using the following guidelines:
