Blog 17...Research question, relevant research, and identification of methods

Research Objective:

·         I would like to research how writing effect/help women that have been in abusive relationships

I would like to observe and find out:

·         How long did it take the ladies to start writing

·         Did they start to express their feelings right away did they have to make a certain connection first

·         How is their interaction with the other women in the room

·         What was the mood

·         How were the ladies emotions during this time

·         Do they share their writing

·         Do most prefer to keep their writing to themselves

·         Does it make the ladies feel better to share their feelings

·         How tense is the mood

·         How exactly do they write (are thoughts just jotted down or fully written?)

Identification Methods:

·         Creative writing

·         Ethnographic

·         Textual analysis
