Answer 6

example may be: If a mother has a prescription for a pre-existing medical condition (a heart condition, diabetes etc.) that she can't go off of, does that have an effect on physical and mental development in the prenatal stages?

IV: Mothers pre-existing medical condition that requires a prescription

DV: Physical and mental development in prenatal stages

Answer 7

just my two cents that question feels a bit too "yes-or-no"-y rather than a research question

this is a low-hanging fruit but possibly the effects of the mother's dietary choices/lifestyle choices, etc. on the child's mental health

Answer 8

yeah that question about medications sounds good to me

Answer 9

The medications questions is an example that the prof gave :')

Answer 10

rip

Answer 11

I know is it possible that a baby can be fully developed before the 9 months are over?

Answer 12

I mean you could just do a similar study just with some other Independent variable instead of medications

Answer 13

oh i know

Answer 14

If the mother is strictly on dangerous drugs such as heroin or meth, can the baby be affected. If so, to what extent?

Answer 15

good

the dependent variable can just be "fetal development" but I would personally be a bit more specific and say something like "incidence of physical defects in the fetus" or something

Answer 16

If the mother is strictly on dangerous drugs such as heroin or meth, can there be incidence of physical defects in the fetus.

IV: Drugs that the mother consumes
DV: fetal development

Answer 17

OR:

If the mother is strictly on dangerous drugs such as heroin or meth, can there be incidences of mental illnesses that the fetus has

IV: Drugs that the mother consumes
DV: fetal development

Answer 18

idk which one :/

Answer 19

it's not really "can there be" but more like "Does the mother's use of dangerous drugs...etc... have an affect on the incidence of physical deformities in the fetus"

Answer 20

okay and then for a discussion question? that would be more of a yes/no right

Answer 21

hm. this one is a bit harder. I'm trying to think about questions that are still within the realm of psychology that you could ask.

Answer 22

What about : What tales or myths have you heard about pregnancy or does your family follow. And do you feel any of them are true?

Answer 23

just throwing this out there, "What therapies/treatments might be effective in helping someone who is pregnant overcome a drug addiction"?

Answer 24

"What sorts of rationale/thought processes might lead someone to abuse drugs while pregnant"?

Answer 25

Or maybe a: What Mental Illlnesss/Disorder would be the worst that would disable you to safely take care of your child

Answer 26

don't know if the wording for this is right? :/

Answer 27

hmm maybe not "the worst" (that's a bit subjective) but maybe "How might other mental disorders, besides drug addiction, affect one's ability to take care of a child"?

Answer 28

perfect, thanks!
