The assignment should be at least one page long (typed and double spaced). The assignment will be graded on the correctness and thoroughness of your analysis when answering each question where it’s applicable; grammar and syntax; and ability to use peer review feedback to improve answers. Provide correct references where needed.

*Choose any topic that is based around aviation.

Please answer the following seven questions.

1. Name 5 general problem areas in which you might conduct your research. At this point, your problem area may still be broad, such as “technology and society” or it may be narrow, such as “the impact of training level on employee’s performance.”
2. Make observations in your chosen problem areas and give a brief description of them. (Keep in mind that observations may be direct, such as observing aggressive behavior on a playground, or indirect, such as asking adolescents for self-reports on their alcohol consumption.)
3. At this point, do you anticipate using an experimental or a non-experimental approach in your research? Explain the basis for your choice.

1. 1. If it will be experimental, what treatments do you plan to administer?
   2. If you will be conducting a non-experimental study, will it be causal-comparative (i.e., looking to the past for the causes of some current condition)? If yes, briefly explain why you chose this method of research instead of the experimental method.
2. State a research hypothesis, purpose, or question for the research you are planning. (Note: You may have more than one of each.)
3. Name the major variables you will be studying. Define each variable, trying to be as operational as possible. (Note: We will revisit the question after you will have an opportunity to read published research on your topic.)
4. At this point, are you leaning toward conducting “qualitative” or “quantitative” research? Explain the basis for your choice. (Note that you will be learning more about qualitative research in the next topic.)
5. Do you anticipate that the study you are planning will involve human participants? Will you be obtaining informed consent? Will you have your consent form reviewed by your professor? By a university committee? By others? Explain.

1. Research topics in Aviation
2. Effects of Airports Safety and Security issues enforced on customer satisfaction.
3. Social Media in Aviation Crisis Management

• Enhancing cyber security in the aviation industry

1. How Helicopters Enhance the Aviation Industry
2. Fitness and Performance relationship in Aviation
3. Observations
4. Effects of Airports Safety and Security issues enforced on customer satisfaction – Currently, there are increasing incidences of accidents due to poor maintenance and inspections (Ji et al., 2019).
5. Social Media in Aviation Crisis Management – the popularity of social media platforms gives airlines a potent tool that can be used to analyze their response capabilities in managing a crisis (Zhang, Chen, & Hu, 2018).

• Enhancing cyber security in the aviation industry – cybersecurity is a developing concept aiming to cab the growing incidences of data breaches, hacking and other forms of cybercrimes (Corallo et al., 2022).

1. How Helicopters Enhance the Aviation Industry – helicopters provide conveniences and ease of accessibility in the aviation industry, hence requiring a rejuvenated use and consideration (Zhang, Chen, & Hu, 2018).
2. Fitness and Performance relationship in Aviation – the performance of aviation workers is closed related to their physical fitness and good health (Ji et al., 2019).
3. Research Method – experimental or a non-experimental

I will choose Enhancing cyber security in the aviation industry as the focus of this study. this study will be non-experimental because it will be based on studying the past and present trends of cybercrimes to determine the best course of action. Therefore, it will compare the number of cybersecurity cases and statistics for bodies like the FBI over the years and try to give explanations of the trends.

4. Research Hypothesis

Cases of cybercrimes have increased considerably in the aviation industry within the last decade.

5. Major Variable
6. Cybersecurity incidences – this will compare the number of cybercrimes reported on an annual basis over the years.
7. Cost of cybercrimes – this will also compare the financial implications of cybercrimes over the years.

• Common forms of cybercrimes – this will check the shifting focus of cybercriminals and the changes and sophistication involved.

6. Type of Approach – qualitative or quantitative

The approach used will be quantitative because the study will be dealing with actual numbers and numerical values while estimating costs and incidences.

7. Involvement of human participants

The study will not require human participants as sources of data because it will use primary data only obtained from bodies and agencies that compile statistical data on cybersecurity. In case of no free access and unauthorized access to this data, I may be required to seek consent and authorization from the bodies involved in the data.
