👉 Identify research is a method used in social sciences to systematically collect and analyze data to understand the characteristics, behaviors, and relationships within a specific population or phenomenon. It involves defining clear research questions or hypotheses, selecting appropriate methods (such as surveys, interviews, observations, or existing datasets), and rigorously collecting and analyzing data to identify patterns, trends, and insights. This process helps researchers pinpoint key variables, understand causal relationships, and make informed conclusions that can inform policy, practice, or further theoretical development.
