Also, please choose from among the following three data gathering methods (step three in the handout) to conduct your research with:
1) The observation method – where you observe how people are using nonverbal communication in everyday situations or other contexts
2) The survey method – where you send out questionnaires, asking participants about how they use nonverbal communication
3) The literature review method – where you conduct a literature search of journal articles or books on the section that you have chosen, this method of research is also valid and is called the literature review method. This is separate from the literature review process, which is part of any research regardless of the data gathering method.
Finally, please read the detailed research project handout, in this module. Follow these steps in conducting your research.
Your research should have a minimum of 8 pages in a APA format
