Suppose that you had decided to undertake a study of the relationships between stress, stressors, and social support. What are two major consequences of a failure to develop a knowledge base (a literature review) for this study?
What will be an ideal response?
Ans: Varies. The failure to undertake a review of the literature would likely mean you would lack a conceptual framework for identifying the relevant variables to be measured in your study, you would not have a good definition of key variables, and you would lack information on the nature of the population from which you should draw your study sample. You would also lack an understanding of how to compose a study hypothesis about the relationships among these three variables.
