1). (Regarding Chapter 13) 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?
For me I think that performing an ethnography research would be the most interesting because you are actually apart of the group you study. It is also maybe the most challenging because as a researcher, you are trying to blend in and not influence the group that you are studying. I feel that you can not completely understand a group or people or person until you actually walk in their shoes without any previous bias.
To perform a study on deception, I would probably use the conversation analysis. I would use this because usually when people try to deceive each other, it is done by talking or some sort of messaging within the context. This method analyzes everyday interaction and the moves someone makes in a conversation.
A proposed research question would be: In what ways does an individual who is lying in a conversation, get to have someone believe what they are saying?
