Reflections<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This is a generic guide by the University of Southampton about how to write a research proposal. It uses scientific method as it’s basis – and it is for the kind of research that I am used to reading about in medical journals. It is very different from the kinds of research that I was doing in my arts degree in that you need to describe your rationale and connection to existing literature much more explicitly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At this stage, I have written a research proposal that uses this framework but suspect that as I start to find more information and test out my ideas that my research strategy may become much more like my research approach for my arts degree. I think that I like start with an idea but then to iterate out a solution in a more experimental way. In science, I think the question of reproducibility is important as this is a measure of how effective your method is and how easily it can be generalised or disseminated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I hope that my project will generate some reproducible meaningful insights, but suspect that as it is emotion based – it will be very difficult to measure and standardise these insights. Also as the work is very much about exploring a complex relational state \/ feeling (intimacy) – trying to standardise the environment to allow for reproducible findings is not feasible with the resources and time that I have, and also would likely interfere with the feelings that the project is trying to generate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, again, I’m not sure if this kind of research proposal format is going to be best for my project – but it gives me a good strategy for how to think about gathering the right kind of knowledge to inform my thinking and of how to think about structuring a write up of the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n References <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Guidelines for preparing a Research Proposal.
