You are almost 29 years of age and thus old enought to find basic information yourself. Google it or type it into a search engine..

A bit unfriendly o.stoll - wrong side of the bed this morning?

Hi otto, we missed you.

Is it not rather insulting to ask obvious questions or to avoid typing one word into a search engine? Correct me if I'm wrong.

I woudn't call it insulting at all. If that insults you then there's something wrong. Perhaps jo131278 just wanted a friendly explanation and discussion.

I saw your instant attack as more of an insult.

listen i have spent 2 days trying to understand this and have asked 4 friends doing PhD's at Manchester to no avail. i am not simply being lazy when i asked this question on the forum!
also any sensible ppl why know what a conceptual frameowrk is please let me know!

thankyou!

Is English maybe not your first language?

Theres an excellent explanation for conceptual framework in wikipedia. Maybe you can use it for the other stuff too.

I was told wikipedia is not 100% accurate and we cannot totally rely on it. Be critical!

yes. Wikipedia contains user-created content, and not peer-reviewed (they use editors but they can easily be 14 year olds...) But there's no harm using it for basic explanations; you can always back up and compare the info from other sites.

jo131278, I asked a similar question on this forum yesterday. No matter how much I read about the study, I couldn't understand how they justify and analyse data with this particular method. So I think I can understand how you feel. Hopefully you'll get your answer from someone who knows the subject. Good luck.

H, I've just noticed your comment about otto
