The Survey Method
Objective and descriptive data from subjects are required in the conduct of many types of research studies. The use of surveys to collect such data is probably the most efficient of the various means available (Dyer, 1985, p. 24).

"The Effect on Graduation Rates of FreshmanAlcohol Consumption: A Research Proposal


Research Problem
Graduation rates for incoming freshmen students are quite low across institutions. This attrition has been attributed to a variety of factors ranging from poor preparation by the student to insufficient application on the part of the student to an inability of the student to adjust to a new social environment to overt discrimination by institutions to a long list of additional factors. It is also known that the consumption of alcohol among college students remains relatively high (Meilman, 1990, pp. 389395). It is further known that alcohol abuse may be manifested in decreased cognitive performance, loss of control, serious social problems and..."

"Introduction


According to Abadinsky (1989), chemical dependency/substance abuse accounts for approximately 18 percent of health-care costs in America. The hospital environment is not immune to this problem. Lewy (1991) reports that most large hospitals either have or are planning chemical dependence treatment programs for their employees. The project proposed here is the development of a program aimed at identifying and treating nurses who are chemically dependent. The program will be implemented in a psychiatric hospital setting.


Overview of the Problem
The existing research on chemical dependency in nurse populations is relatively sparse. Hutchinson (1986) has utilized interviews and participant observation to investigate the..."

"Problem Identification
Relationships between adolescents and their parents frequently are characterized by conflict and disharmony. The character of such relationships may be characterized by even greater turmoil when the child is adopted. Among a sample of 90 adolescents (aged 14-to-21 years old), Lahti (1993, pp. 67-74) found the 18.9 percent of the adolescent subjects suffered for problems at a neurotic level, and that an additional 13.3 percent of the subjects suffered from more severe disorders. Lahti, 1993, pp. 67-74) found further that approximately 45 percent of the adoptive fathers and ... "

"INTRODUCTION
The computer has made massive changes in the way business is conducted and in the way millions of people conduct their lives. This medium involves the use of hardware which has been analyzed and modified by ergonomists seeking to make the mesh between human and machine more comfortable and more productive. One element that has been given considerable attention is the keyboard. With the increased use of computers, various medical problems were found among heavy users, especially related to repeated motions of the hands and fingers over the keyboard. Researchers have undertaken to redesign the keyboard as to its shape so that it fits the human hand better, and some have tried to redesign the placement of keys for a better fit with the way people type. Some of these experiments have produced new types ..."

"Statement of the Problem

The proposed research will consist of a descriptive study of the perceptions of public administrators regarding the regulation of cigarette smoking. Not only will public administrators' perceptions be collected, discussed, and interpreted, they will also be examined to determine whether they significantly differ as a function of differences in administrators ages, gender, yearly income, marital status and religion. Further, perceptions will be examined for differences depending upon whether or not the administrator is a smoker.

Problem Background
As noted by Mathre (1994), nicotine (the active ingredient in the tobacco plant) is one of the most toxic and most addictive drugs known to man. Regarding its toxicity, Mathre states that ..."

Impact of Divorce on Children
Conclusions, Summary and Recommendations

From the Paper
"This research paper has also made clear the impact of divorce on children. It seems evident that in many cases divorce dramatically changes the way a child perceives the world and themselves. It is vital that married couples understand the impact that a divorce will have on a child and that they do everything their power to ensure that the marriage can not be salvaged. Sometimes there are times when marriage gets rough and couples must decide to stick it out when the going gets rough. This can also be a valuable lesson for children because it teaches them not to quit just because something is difficult to endure."

Abstract
The repressed memory controversy has spawned numerous debates in a variety of fields, from clinical psychology to legal studies, from the utility of repressed memory testimony in the courtroom to the nature of memory storage and recall. This paper reviews the research literature around the concept of repressed memories and proposes that, despite its emerging salience as a factor, one area not elaborately researched is the role of gender in repressed memories. The paper proposes an experiment designed to test whether gender may affect the creation of false memories in undergraduates and postulates an outcome based on the hypothesis that the social acceptability of a suggested memory increases how readily participants assimilate new memories (and this can be correlated with gender socialization). The experiment's goal is to work toward understanding the role of gender in the occurrence of repressed memories.

From the Paper
"Given the predominance of repressed memory in females, the problem begs the question: does gender affect cognition? The full answer to that question is complex beyond the scope of this paper, but the general summary is that the evidence is inconclusive. From the popular view, it is generally believed that females are better at certain tasks such as facial recognition, color recollection, emotional recognition, and verbal memory; while males are better at tasks such as visuospatial reasoning, chronology, and number memory. At the same time, despite these persistent stereotypes, the evidence to support them is not conclusive (c.f. Caplan, 1997; Halpern 1986). We can say that there is some evidence indicating females may be more suggestible than males (McFarlane, 2002), which might account in part for of the difference in repressed memory, given that a predominance of clients are in therapy (under the influence of a therapist) at the time of the recovery (Freyd, 1999)."

Abstract
This paper discusses from a positive and negative standpoint the use of racial profiling by the police. The author feels that lack of training among the police officials and their inability to practice criminal profiling correctly results in the abusive practice of racial profiling. The author presents a research proposal for a study which asks: Why and how many innocent and peaceful citizens were unjustifiably arrested just because they belonged to a specific minority group?

From the Paper
"It is interesting to note that some of the social experts favor the practice of racial profiling, claiming that the racially biased policing efforts are helpful in identifying the criminals, as they work in the form of groups belonging to same ethnic or racial group. They argue that the arrests and searches of individuals from a specific ethnic group or race are due to their own inappropriate behaviors. They totally reject the notion that racial profiling is another form of racial discrimination by the law enforcement officials. According to them, it is one of the most effective tools to identify the criminals and it has proved its effectiveness in the past."

Abstract
This paper examines the different ways children with mild disabilities such as mild mental retardation, learning disabilities and emotional behavioral disorders are being integrated into the general education classroom. This integration program is known as inclusive education. It discusses the attitudes and views of teachers via findings published in
articles about four separate inclusive studies. Each study was conducted with different participants and in different manners with varying contexts. It looks at how the articles present insight into the dispositions and viewpoints of elementary and secondary educational instructors who had training and experience backgrounds in general and special education.

"A common acronym for the Instructional Design Development Cycle is
ADDIE. This acronym stands for: Analysis, Design. Development,
Implementation, Evaluation. Of these five activities, Analysis is the most
time-consuming of all. This phase requires instructional designers to
identify and analyze the goals of the educational project in order to
examine the types of skills required of the online audience in order to
participate in the web course. So designers must take a detailed look at
both the tasks that will require training and at the learners who will need to be trained in order to participate fully in the course."

Abstract
This paper examines the effect of class divisions on the current education system in America. It evaluates through a literature review, how the result is that schools in wealthier areas provide more educational opportunity than schools in poor areas because funding is often tied to the tax base and once students graduate, they again find that some get preferences and that a degree in itself does not suffice. It looks at how the failure of education only reinforces what people have long intuitively known, that there is some relationship between social position and educational level. The educational level an adult can attain helps identify that adult as a member of a certain socioeconomic class, while the educational level a child is able to attain will determine his or her future socioeconomic class to a great extent.

From the Paper
"Education is thought to be based on a number of assumptions about promoting ability, recognizing talent, developing the mind, and providing equal opportunity for all. However, Kozol shows that many of these assumptions are given no more than lip-service. Kozol accepts that society does believe in the value of these ideas, and he also indicates that most people believe these assumptions are not only true but are followed. Kozol finds, however, that they are not followed at all in the educational system and that there are a number of reasons for this, most of them economic or economically-based. "

"Women were mistreated in factory jobs, but in this, they were no different from men. Women were usually kept in women's only dormitories; the social environment in which they operated was completely controlled by the company where they worked. In cities, women were employed as seamstresses in sweatshops and were usually paid by the piece. Immigrants always kept the pay low, and poor working conditions met with tragedy in 1911, when 141 women working at the Triangle Waist Company died in a fire or trying to escape the conflagration by jumping out the window.
