Identify one of the five qualitative research methods and describe how you would collect data for your study using this specific qualitative research method. You are not required to actually collect qualitative data for your current study.
Does participation in a weekly support group reduce perceived stress during the semester?
Focus and Goal of the study:
The purpose of the single-subject design study, in this case, is to determine if the application of a pre-and-post-test design, using the Student Stress Inventory as the measurement tool, can effectively be used to measure change in stress level in a target sample of the student population. Specifically, the pilot study will be used to identify the A-B design, determine any confounding variables and controls for those variables, and to determine the effectiveness of the instrument for data collection.
the stress level was the dependent variable, while the weekly support groups made up the independent variable.
