Chapter 2 - The research process: Getting started. After reading this chapter, you should be able to: Describe what a theory is and its role in communication research, explain why the research process starts with identifying a research problem, develop a preliminary question from a topic or issue, explain why a preliminary question is superior to a topic in conducting library research,. | The Research Process: Getting Started Chapter 2 Considering theory in research Research is the basis for developing or challenging theory Theory describes, predicts, or explains communication phenomenon Research Theory link Deductive reasoning Inductive reasoning Developing theory Describe event or observation Create explanation for event Move from specific to more generalized form Derive predictions from explanations Deductive research model Inductive research model Identifying the research problem Research ideas are based on Theories Experiences Current events Turn broad topics into preliminary questions What do your questions assume? Rephrase for clarity Evaluating your questions Clearly stated? Do others agree about its clarity? Asks only one question? Communication orientation? Any bias in the way the question is asked? Can it be observed or measured? Time and resources? Who would be interested? How could the information be used?

Organizing resources Start reading With an author(s) that is regularly cited From older to newer literature The article or chapter that provides a summary Arranging and Summarizing resources Major and minor points Chronological order Find answers to your questions Broad questions to narrow questions Use deductive approach Broad to narrow Use inductive approach Specific to general beginning the literature review Position problem statement in introduction What is the communication issue? What are the research objectives? Works as a roadmap What you are going to cover What you hope to accomplish Body of literature review Good literature reviews Include latest research Describe and analyze what .
