What research method(s) in your opinion would be best to examine the effects of poverty in large cities? Why?

Interviews with homeless people or with those who were once homeless would be one of the best way in my opinion because you hear it straight from the mouth of those who experience it, hence, your results will be more objective.

What research method(s) in your opinion would be best to examine the effects of poverty in large cities? Why?
It's too big a question to be easily addressed. Your best bet is to think of some possible effects, whatever seems sensible to you. Find sources that give info on their prevalence in various cities. Divide cities into "high-poverty" and "low-poverty" cities. Then do correlations between "poverry" as one variable, and your other effects as the other variable.
Reply:i assume ur doing a causal relationship? right? neway, i'm not apodictic about this, how would you manipulate this pop? i think you'd be better off just doing a correlational study, but if you go with the survey, what will be your manipulation?, will there be diff surveys that the control grp gets or the experimental grp? will u present scenarios that will be manipulated? it's hard to do. good luck!
