1. Stakeholders are people that may be interested in your study. Three major stakeholders in research studies would be other researchers, investors, and communities. Researchers are always trying to update their own information and can further their own research when there are more sources on a research topic. Investors are always looking for financial returns and love to invest to make a come up. Investors are interested in new research as it adds more information and can help with decision making. The more research there is the more information an investor can have, to make better decisions for future investing. Lastly communities, communities are interested in new research because they are interested in the health and safety of there environment. Communities come together for a more economic developed society and is very interested in new research that comes to guide towns in better directions for a better health of society.In my own research project I am researching how judgments can effect men’s health. My research topic is made to focus of the health of society. I think people that will be interested are: researchers, there has already been talk of the “man box” and how it negatively effects men of every age. People doing more research on this and trying to bring more awareness will definitely be interested. Investors may be interested as there are real economic factors that are affected by the man box. Communities would be interested in my research because it is affecting their family if they have a husband, son, nephews, a father. Every male is affected by the man box.

2. The three major stakeholders in a research study are the researcher, the funding body, and the participants (any person with involvement in the research study). The researcher is any point person that collects information for the study/research topic at hand. The funding body/investors do just that, fund the research study in order for it to be conducted. Lastly, the participants, as mentioned, is anybody with direct or indirect involvement with the research study. All of these stakeholders must abide by the Code of Ethics to ensure that all parties involved is handled in the appropriate way.For my own study, whether child abuse is linked to violent behavior as an adult, all stakeholders would be deemed relevant in this topic in order to get the best results possible. Being that this study is in direct contact with the participants at hand, the code of ethics would have to be carried out so confidentiality is not breached from person to person once results are found.

3. Three major stakeholders in research studies can be the researchers, investors and the community. Researchers themselves are looking for more information and knowledge to work with, a stakeholder generally benefits from the research. A researcher can expand on the topic and bring more to the research. Investors that are interested can learn more knowledge regarding the topic and have a much better understanding when it comes to investing. With the proper amount of research and information the investor can better make decisions towards an investment. Communities also largely benefit from the research as it provides information for their environment and society. For my research topic, whether self-autonomous (self-driving cars) can sustain and be safe in society. I think that investors, researchers and the community would be interested. Investors can obtain knowledge of the industry and field and compile an opinion. Researchers can further expand their knowledge and provide to the research by further researching or looking into areas not looked into. Communities benefit from the knowledge and information gained from the research, I think it is fair to say that communities would like to know about new transportation amongst their community that may be safe or dangerous. 

4. Three major stakeholders in any research are the researchers , the participants and the investors.Researchers are continually attempting to refresh their own data and can encourage their own research when there are more sources on an focused point.Investors that are intrigued can learn more information with respect to the subject and have a greatly improved understanding with regards to contributing.The participants can profit from the research in which they would get data given to them which in general helps everyone attentive.In my own research , college students dealing with stress , participant stakeholders are important. The participants in my study will most likely be currently enrolled in college or previously before. After reading my research can spread awareness on the everyday stress that college students go through.

5. Stakeholders are prominent people who may be interested in one's study. Three major stakeholders are researchers, investors, and communities. Researchers are constantly re-defining their hypothesis or research topics. They also constantly are looking to update their information to ensure accuracy as time goes on. Investors back up the fundings for the research being conducted, but they also are looking for financial gain as well. Lastly, communities are interested in new research as community leaders and citizens are always interested in new research in order to ensure health and safety of the families and environment.Communities and Researchers would be interested in my topic as it is a topic that deeply affects the mental health of people, specifically diverse communities with people of color.  My topic discusses the mental affect of racism on minorities and I think this would be a beneficial project for communities to ensure equality. It would also be beneficial for researchers, specifically psychologists and counselors as they open up therapy sessions to individuals who may be suffering from harassment, abuse, depression, anxiety, and battles that come along with prejudice or discrimination.
