RESEARCH IMPLEMENTATION_

Week 08
We started deciding our research methods. I decided on both qualitative and quantitative using email interview to experts and questionnaires. This is the feedback after consulting with Dr Hayati.

Feedback:
From the object what kind of instrument do you think it's suitable. Can have both qualitative and quantitative for my objectives, put the research objectives when u design the questions. Survey who is supposed to be the target audience? Have to look at whether effect of body image exist? When u exaggerate the figure do make the viewers feel? Example on one exaggeration (how very slim figure make the view feel?) objective 1: did you discover any articles that support this objective? Because qualitative and quantitative works for both, but you need some experts to (identify who the character designers who can play on board max 2 or 3, maybe 1 american, 1 european, 1 maybe malaysian, compare and contrast the results of the participant. Observe, not only depend on the quantitative. Have you decided how many people will be involved? Interview? Are you looking at just little amount of questions just 2 or 3 or a set of questions? Have you designed the questions? Can you do that afterwards? So we agree that you will have both qualitative and quantitative,
where are we going to use this finding. depends if there’s a min. Number of questions, u want to make sure that you engage with the participant. 5 questions if its right to answer the objectives, too many questions people don’t pay attention. So design it now
and use your time wisely it's already ending week 8, not much time left.



Week 09
No feedback, this week after finalising all the questions, I sent out the emails to the selected experts and sent out my questionnaire. Continued to wait for responses and collect the quantitative data. At the end of this week one expert replied but they weren't able to participate in the email interview.

Week 10
Since I have no responses from last week, I was told to send out a follow up email as well as email more experts.Dr Hayati provided some contacts for me to email. And my questionnaire responses are at 81 so keep it open first. Later in the week an expert agreed to do the email interview.

Week 11
No feedback as we attended the Troublemakers Manifesto Colloquium. No responses from the expert that agreed, or other experts. Questionnaire reached 90 responses and wasn’t increasing in number anymore, so I closed it. 

UPDATE - the expert that agreed couldn't participate.

 Here is the spreadsheet of the Google Form for the questionnaire, I have a total of 90 responses.
