1. Go to the Online Library website.
2. Enter the keywords "research on suicide" in the search bar.

After finding a suitable article or case study, you can determine the research methods used by examining the methodology section of the study. Typically, research methods in psychology studies can range from surveys and interviews to experiments and observational studies.

To identify the methodological orientation that best reflects the methods used in the article, you can refer to the tables on pages 14 and 19 of the text. These tables provide an overview of various research methods and their corresponding methodological orientations.

For example, if the article describes the collection of data through surveys or questionnaires, it suggests the use of a quantitative research method. The methodological orientation associated with quantitative research methods is positivism. This approach seeks to observe and measure objective phenomena, aiming for generalizability and causality.

On the other hand, if the article focuses on in-depth interviews or case studies to explore individual experiences and subjective meanings, it indicates the use of qualitative research methods. The methodological orientation associated with qualitative research methods is interpretivism or constructivism. This approach emphasizes understanding social phenomena through the interpretation of meanings and context.

When completing your response, remember to provide citations from 2 to 3 sources from the Online Library to support your explanation. These citations can be referenced at the end of your response for proper attribution.
