Question

A researcher studies why highly successful employees left their careers to become stay-at-home parents. The researcher's goal is to understand
the events and personality traits that led to the person becoming a stay-at-home sarent. Which type of research method might this researcher
use?

Answer 1

If I were this specific researcher, I'd start trying to meet up with these people, asking them about their lives, how they feel about it, about what they truly love, anything they believe in, how they got married, how they feel about kids, and other related questions. After interviewing enough people, I should have obtained a basic idea about what influenced them to become parents. I'd also send out surveys related to the topic to get additional information quickly.
