Aims and Objectives of Research Methodology

To gain familiarity with a phenomenon or to achieve new insights into it (studies with this
object in view are termed as exploratory or formulative research studies);
1. To portray accurately the characteristics of a particular individual, situation or a group(studies
with this object in view are known as descriptive research studies);
2. To determine the frequency with which something occurs or with which it is associated with
something else (studies with this object in view are known as diagnostic research studies);
3. To test a hypothesis of a causal relationship between variables (such studies are known as
hypothesis-testing research studies).
