Inductive reasoning occurs when one makes inferences from particular situations or scenarios to predict future situations. In this study, the authors seek to use information from particular youth's experiences of the transition to adulthood and apply it to the development of a general understanding of whether or not youth can overcome existing social class, gender and ethnic divisions (MacDonald et al., 2005).
5. Identify at least 4 major findings from this study.
MacDonald et al. (2005) found that with few exceptions youth stayed within the community in which they were raised. The authors attributed this finding to the housing market but a more influential factor appears to be the preference of these youth to remain in their neighborhoods despite the presence of social exclusion. A key factor in this preference was the comfort that is provided through familiarity with the neighborhood (MacDonald et al., 2005). Within these neighborhoods, MacDonald et al. (2005) also found that there was a strong sense of...
Many of the youth described being embedded in social networks, both negative and positive, beyond their family unit (MacDonald et al., 2005).
MacDonald et al. (2005) found that employment had a cyclical nature, made up of low skilled and underpaid opportunities with extremely low, if existent, growth ceilings. The neighborhood was void of secure employment opportunities and instead many oscillated between periods of low wage work and unemployment (MacDonald et al., 2005). When identifying jobs youth often relied on their personal networks using techniques such as word of mouth, referrals from friends, and knowing someone who works in a particular location (MacDonald et al., 2005).

Theories offer basic frameworks for research investigations. For example, a criminologist might work within a conflict theory framework; or a psychologist might work within the cognitive developmental theory framework. The theory guides the research design, the selection of subject and the selection of the population too. As a body of research grows, new theories may be devised that summarize or encapsulate the essence of an area of research. When studies

For this kind of research to be effective, researchers must gain the trust and confidence of these individuals. Careful planning, focus group research, and investigation may help to build this kind of trust, but all of those steps add time (and expenses) to the research process. c) Use of untested assumptions. Researchers may have their own assumptions about how people react to trauma, and these assumptions may negatively affect their
