Asking poe to come up with 4 research proposals based on 4 research philosophies: an illustration for Housing Studies students (information from poe.com)
(note: related to assignment 1 of my Housing Studies students)
My question 1: "Regarding my Housing Studies assignment's research theme of "how the Hong Kong economic trend and the Hong Kong Housing Policy affect the citizens' confidence to purchase apartments", could you suggest a research proposal with (1) a specific assignment title, (2) 3 research issues, (3) 3 research objectives and (4) 3 research questions, based on each of the following 4 research philosophies: positivism, interpretivism, pragmatism and critical realism. (That means 4 research proposals in total)."
The reply: "Below are four detailed research proposals based on the specified research theme, each aligned with a different research philosophy.
Proposal 1: Positivism
Research Issues:
- The correlation between economic indicators and housing policy changes in Hong Kong.
- The quantitative effect of housing policy on property purchase confidence among citizens.
- The effect of external economic factors (e.g., global market trends) on local housing policy and citizen behavior.
Research Objectives:
- To quantify the relationship between Hong Kong's GDP growth and housing policy changes.
- To analyze the statistical impact of housing policy amendments on citizens’ willingness to purchase properties.
- To evaluate how economic fluctuations influence public perception and behavior regarding housing investments.
Research Questions:
- What is the relationship between economic growth indicators and housing policy changes in Hong Kong?
- How have recent housing policies statistically affected citizens' confidence in purchasing apartments?
- What external economic factors correlate with variations in the local housing market confidence?
Proposal 2: Interpretivism
Research Issues:
- The subjective experience of citizens regarding housing policy changes.
- The narrative of citizen confidence shaped by economic circumstances.
- The cultural and social factors influencing perceptions of home ownership in Hong Kong.
Research Objectives:
- To explore how citizens perceive and interpret the impact of housing policies on their purchasing decisions.
- To investigate the lived experiences of individuals regarding economic trends and housing markets.
- To analyze how cultural narratives shape citizens' confidence in buying property.
Research Questions:
- How do citizens interpret the impact of recent housing policies on their purchasing confidence?
- What personal narratives do citizens share about their experiences with the housing market in the context of economic changes?
- How do cultural and social contexts influence the perception of home ownership among Hong Kong citizens?
Proposal 3: Pragmatism
Research Issues:
- The practical implications of housing policies on citizens' purchasing behaviors.
- The intersection of economic trends with real-world decision-making regarding property investments.
- The adaptive strategies employed by citizens in response to housing market changes.
Research Objectives:
- To identify practical strategies that citizens employ when making housing purchase decisions amidst economic changes.
- To evaluate how responsive housing policies are to the shifting economic landscape and citizen needs.
- To investigate how pragmatic considerations influence the confidence of citizens in their housing market investments.
Research Questions:
- What practical strategies do citizens use to navigate the housing market amid economic fluctuations?
- How do current housing policies align with the practical realities faced by citizens in their purchasing decisions?
- In what ways do citizens adjust their purchasing confidence based on economic trends and housing policy changes?
Proposal 4: Critical Realism
Research Issues:
- The underlying structures influencing the relationship between economic trends and housing policies.
- The impact of systemic inequalities on citizens' confidence in the housing market.
- The role of historical and contextual factors in shaping current housing policies and citizens' perceptions.
Research Objectives:
- To analyze the deeper socio-economic structures that affect both housing policy and citizen confidence.
- To examine how historical factors have led to current disparities in housing accessibility.
- To elucidate the causal mechanisms that contribute to differing levels of confidence in property purchases among citizens.
Research Questions:
- What underlying socio-economic structures influence the relationship between economic trends and housing policies in Hong Kong?
- How do historical contexts shape the current confidence levels of citizens regarding property purchases?
- What are the systemic factors contributing to disparities in housing market confidence among different citizen groups?
These proposals should provide a comprehensive framework for exploring the complex intersections of economic trends, housing policy, and citizen confidence in purchasing apartments in Hong Kong, from different philosophical perspectives."
My question 2: "If my research assignment's research theme, being more focused, is "how the Hong Kong economic trend and the Hong Kong Housing Policy affect the Gen Z middle-class citizens' confidence to purchase apartments in Kowloon Tong and Wong Tai Sin", what would the research proposals based on the 4 research philosophies look like? Kindly provide the 4 new research proposals in this regard. Tks in advance."
The reply: "Here are four revised research proposals focusing on the specified theme of how the Hong Kong economic trend and housing policy affect Gen Z middle-class citizens' confidence to purchase apartments in Kowloon Tong and Wong Tai Sin:
