Research -ONLY FOR Exemplary_Professor001

Post a brief description of your topic of research interest.

Next, state the philosophical orientation that reflects your worldview and explain the epistemological and ontological assumptions of this orientation. Then, explain how these assumptions lend themselves to one or more research approaches.

Be sure to support your Main Issue Post and Response Post with reference to the week’s Learning Resources and other scholarly evidence in APA Style.

My area of research interest is around emotional intelligence and leadership. Still refining this though…. or what do you think? Any ideas?
