Once research is complete, in what ways might one apply his or her research findings?

What will be an ideal response?


Once a researcher collects, processes, and analyzes the data generated from the research, the findings of the study are usually presented in some type of format (such as a journal or professional conference) for scholars, researchers, policy-makers or other users to apply. Some may choose to use their findings to support and bring about societal change through the creation of family policy. Other researchers may elect to have their study reviewed by colleagues and then publish the research process and findings in a journal devoted to a given area of study, such as the Journal of Marriage and the Family, the Journal of Sex Research, the Journal of Men's Studies, and Family Relations, to name a few. Still other researchers may use their research findings and research skills to design, implement, and evaluate family life education programs that promote the health and functioning of today's families.
