Final week post 1

Which of the research methods listed in Table 13.3 seem the most interesting? Assume you want to study some aspect of deception. Frame a research question. Which method would you choose to answer the question. Why?

I am interested in ethnography the most among research methodologies because this is what I have learned in my anthropology major.
An interesting research question would be, “How people react when they realized that they are deceived?”
We can do ethnography outside of the U.S, and find out cultural differences between the U.S. and another country. However, this research would be difficult since finding “deceptive situations” is not an easy thing. Maybe we can do a research at a police station and observe people who came. Some good aspects of ethnography are that we can see real reactions or words from people. We never know what kind of new findings about cultures will emerge.
