what does the 'statement of research problem' mean in research. Can you give me with one example.
The statement of research problem is a clear, specific, and focused description of the issue or question that the researcher aims to investigate through their study. It helps to identify the gap in the existing knowledge or understanding on the topic, and provides a rationale for why this question is important and worth studying.
For example, a statement of research problem for a study on the impact of social media on adolescent mental health could be: "Despite the growing prevalence of social media use among adolescents, there is a lack of research on how specific social media platforms and activities may contribute to the development of mental health issues such as anxiety and depression."
