survey research would be best....surveying in the area regarding the field of need i.e. if the survey is for buying a car, or a detergent soap, or shampoo, or a house,or a computer,air conditioner....whatever....\nIf the thing is of daily use like soap then you can go to the conumers' houses....if it is something expensive then you can go to the shops where that thing is being sold and where the costumers come to buy it for example for a car you can go to a car show-room.

A psychological survey- Questions like, "Have you ever attempted suicide" etc. Can be used for graphs in the paper, etc. To prove shocking points. (persuasive effects, etc.) Also for the counslors to know what to talk about and what the people are like.\n\nA movie survey- A survey on what you think about movies! Questions like "Did you like the Pink Panther and Why". Can be used for reviews on movies, etc. to talk about how Good a movie was, or something along those lines.\n\nA Simple All-Around Survey- Can be found on the internet. Questions range from everything TO everything. Usually extrememly long, and made just for fun.

Research can be done using communication, i.e., surveys, polls, computers, websites, telephone calls, or face to face interaction.  These are all used in collecting data for research.

There are several parts to the methodology section; you just need to break it into pieces and take care of each one.  Usually you would have something like this: \n\n1. Intro (review the purpose of your study/research questions).\n2. Research Design (will this be qualitative or quantitative?  Case study?  Correlational design?  True experiment?  Pre-test/Post-test?)\n3. Sample and Population (who will your subjects be, and what population are they drawn from?)\n4. Instrumentation (will you use a survey? describe it)\n5. Procedures (exactly what will you do?) --this usually has several subsections:\na. Data Collection (how will you get the actual data?)\nb. Data Analysis (what will you do with it once you get it?)\n\nHope that helps. Feel free to email me with questions.

First of all you should refer to some text book on "Research Methodology". Here you will get a clear idea of what you are getting into.  \nSome areas of research can be Genetic Algorithms in Statistics, multivariable calculus, graph theoritic applications in statistics.

Not very common, but you can do it.  There was one experiment that I knew about where they measured blood pressure and exposed people to stress (making them do a presentation in front of people they didn't know).  Most social research however tends to be qualitative or quantitative.  Qualitative research includes interviews and field work.  Quantitative research involves analysis of data, like multiple regression on sample sets.
