Frequently asked Questions:
The following may contain Study Examples for the best of your regards.

1. What is your research study all about?

In your answer, you should summarize your research in a few sentences. The question is simple but
requires technical expertise for a better explanation of concepts. For instance, if you completed a
thesis in an attempt to explain the constituents of dark matter in the universe and particle
accelerators, you could frame your answer like this:

In this research, the different aspects of dark matter and its detection models have been investigated.
The cosmic ray positron excess observed by the PAMELA detector has been discussed and
explained through the construction of models of decaying dark matter. The cosmic-ray electron and
positron spectra were studied assuming a general Dirac structure for the four fermion contact
interactions of interest. A supersymmetric leptophilic Higgs model was constructed to explain the
possible excess of gamma rays in the galactic center. Finally, by the use of Razor analysis, an
improvement on the dark matter collider searches is considered.

2. Why did you choose this study?

This question requires you to answer what motivated you to pursue the study in the first place. Your
answers could touch on your interests in the area of the study. For example, if you conducted a study
called “Media Combat: The Great War and the Transformation of American Culture” then you can
shape your answer like this:

The First World War (1914-1918) has always been a topic of fascination for me, and my prime
interest lies in exploring the state of society at that time. I wanted to analyze the formation of a
nationalized, wartime cultural apparatus during the United States' involvement in the war and how
theatre and music transformed the relationship between the government and American citizens.

3. Why did you choose this particular title for your research?

The title of your thesis captures the main point of your research, which is why it is so important to use
an appropriate title. Your committee will want to know how you came to the final decision of naming
your work. For example,

I chose the title “Dark matter in the heavens and at colliders: Models and constraints” for my research
thesis because my research attempts to explain the constituency of dark matter as it occurs in the
universe. “The heavens” is another word for the universe. Dark matter can also be created in particle
accelerators such as the CERN collider. I have attempted to provide an explanation for both of the
cases through the use of models, along with describing the constraints which exist in the current
times due to certain scientific limitations.
4. What is the scope of your study?

In your answer, you have to define the boundaries of your project and define exactly what you are
studying. There can be several elements involved but you have to define the parameters that you
have chosen to study. For example,

My study is on the efficacy of equity stocks in the US market. For my study, I have chosen 50
companies listed on the NASDAQ. You can review the names of these companies on page 5 of my
thesis.

5. What phenomenon were you trying to understand with this research?

Describe the focus concept of your thesis in the answer. For example,

In our study “Motivation to volunteer”, we were looking to study the Theory of Planned Behavior by
analyzing the behavioral and normative beliefs that influence attitudes and subjective norms.

through your thesis project? Here are some tips straight from our CEO:

6. Who will be most interested in your research?

You can talk about who may be affected by your research and the parties who can potentially benefit
from the research. Take a look at this example:

My sociology thesis on “Impact of social media on youngsters” can be of interest to sociology

academics, social media companies, education experts, and parents of youngsters in general.

7. Did your research questions evolve during the process? If so, how?

Often, qualitative research questions change over time with respect to the responses that you might
get from your focus group. Or you might just change your question as you do lab research or general
text research. You can describe the change to the evaluating committee. For example,

We started our study to understand the impact of the new public policy change on recycling of vinyl
waste through installation of garbage bins specifically for vinyl products. However, after interviewing
some of the respondents in the target community, we found that the rule is actually irrelevant to their
behavior and thoughts because the percentage of vinyl waste in that specific locality was very low
and it didn’t need the installation of dedicated bins for the purpose. Going by their frustrations with the
current economic insecurity, our study evolved into the impact of costs incurred by public policy
changes.

8. What gaps did you intend to bridge with your research?

Your research thesis must eliminate the present gaps in the concepts related to your subject topic.
The relationship between hard water and its effect on the size of the kidney stone is not clear yet, so
we analyzed the mineral composition of hard water to determine its impact on the size of the kidney
stone.

9. Why is your research significant?

The answer to this research question should outline the impact of your research on your field of
study. You may talk about the new insights contributed by your research and its impact on society.

Through my study on “The effect of chamomile in reducing stress and promoting better sleep,”
patients with insomnia and anxiety will be able to find alternative treatments without the use of
medicinal drugs. The medical abilities of chamomile will promote the usage of ingredients in nature
and will encourage the community to plant more herbs and trees.

10. What did you find in your research?

You may describe your research in a few sentences in this answer. For instance,

In our study on “Impact of artificial fluoride in water on the human body,” we found that excessive
exposure to high quantities of Fluoride can result in tooth discoloration and bone issues in humans
since it has neurotoxic qualities.

11. What research findings surprised you?

When you conduct research, you come across findings that you were not expecting earlier. If you had
such an experience, you might describe the same to the evaluation committee when you answer this
question. For example,

I was expecting that business promotion through social media would not be a good idea for rural
enterprises in developing countries in my comparative analysis of the usage of traditional and
contemporary marketing methods. But I was surprised to learn that 68% of rural textile businesses in
Nigeria promote their products on Instagram.

12. What is the validity of your findings?

You have to talk about the conditions in which your research findings would be valid.

In my research, I have considered test anxiety to be involving both nervous system activation and
negative thoughts. Thus, my measure of test anxiety has included the elements of both nervous
feelings and negative thoughts, the conditions in which my findings are valid.

13. Why did you choose this research methodology?

For example,

For studying the differential protein expression, its localization, and distribution at different levels, we
used the method of immunostaining in our research.
14. What sources did you use for data collection?

You would have used several sources to search for data for your topic. You may elaborate on those
sources. You might have referred to databases, content on the web, or even conducted primary
research by interviewing prospects. Thus, you can talk about these sources. Refer to the following
answer:

To understand the impact of the current tax regime on skilled workers, we interviewed 150 subjects in
5 months. Additionally, we referred to databases and scholarly works available by authors who had
previously conducted such studies for previous tax laws and rates.

15. How can your research be put into practice?

This question talks about the practical implications of your research. You should talk about how your
research is beneficial for society and how it can help in eliminating current issues.

In our research titled “Effectiveness of Meditation on Reducing the Anxiety Levels of College Students
in the US,” we discovered that students who practiced meditation at least thrice a week were two
times more likely to score better in their exams, owing to the positive impact of meditation. So, this
research finding can help in the reduction of mental health issues among students. A suitable course
of action would be to hold meditating sessions a couple of times a week.

16. How will your findings contribute to the related area of knowledge?

For example,

Our study on medicinal analysis of herbs conveys information about various medicinal benefits of
chamomile in treating depression and contributes to the area of medicinal botany.

17. Did you experience any limitations in your research?

For example,

Our research on “Impact of smoking on β-cell function and risk for type 2 diabetes in US citizens”
finds that smoking increases the risk of diabetes among smokers. However, smokers might be
affected by some genetic conditions which can protect them from diabetes.

18. What sampling techniques did you use?

When conducting research, it is practically not possible to study the entire number of elements. So,
you would be using a method to select a sample population.

In our study “Impact of consumption of soda on the health of teenagers in Corpus Christi”, we used
area sampling to divide the city into several areas and then selected some clusters for our sample
group.

19. What are the dependent and independent variables in your research?
In research, several variable factors impact your study. You can describe these variables.
Independent variables have values which are not affected by other variables in your study. On the
other hand, the dependent variables have values that change with changes in the independent
variable. For example,

In our study on “Impact of online tutoring on test scores”, the independent variable is the nature of the
classes i.e., online and the participants' test score is the dependent variable.

20. What areas do you suggest for further research?

As a researcher, you should be able to describe what further areas are open for research with the
addition of your research to the field. This can act as a starting point for future researchers. For
example,
In my research on “Effectiveness of Acetaminophen in treating sports induced injuries”, I discovered
that administering Acetaminophen is not very effective for treating joint pains such as the knee. This
further suggests measures for the regulation of Acetaminophen in the production of painkillers for
body pain and the search for alternative compounds.
