Could it be that the research topic that you have selected in unnecessarily specific? I don't know whether you chose it or it was assigned to you, but when you specify a research topic to this degree you risk not finding much in the way of good information. \n    Should you wish to pursue this topic, my first suggestion would be to look at any studies done in child psych in the 60's. Most were predicated on understanding the after effects of abusive situations. The next stop would be the archives of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. They would keep stats on child abuse cases by year and you would be able to get a handle on how child abuse became a much more recognized condition throughout the 60's. Finally, I would Google child abuse research and 60's to find any independent studies by Stanford, Columbia Medical school, Johns Hopkins, University of Michigan which may have taken up this idea. Synthesize their work (while giving proper credit!) and you should have a more than acceptable paper. Hope this helps

One of the other answers hinted at the key: start general....what is the broad topic you want to write about (e.g., academic achievement, drug abuse, accounting scandals) and then get more specific (e.g., racial differences in academic achievement, social causes of drug abuse, ways to avert accounting scandals), and then even more specific.....but start general, then get specific.

Check "ERIC" which is the Education Resources Information Center.  Just type in "retention" and you will have a wealth of scholarly articles to choose from.  When I am looking for things I always do an advanced search and click for full-text articles otherwise you might see an abstract or title for something really good but not be able to access it.

Having an interest in a narrowed down topic that is phrased in the form of a question. Researching the question is fun, especially if you find resources or even one resource that gives you a new take on the subject and is a valid piece of information. Putting together and evaluating the information from several sources and using the correct research paper format is always a feeling of accomplishment.\n\nChow!!

There are a lot of books written on these topics but choosing the best one would take a lot of time. There is a program called NEWSTART that is a well rounded program and addresses each of the areas in your question. The web address is: www.newstart.com \nCheck it out. I think you will find what you are looking for.
