Year 12s: what will be the first way you research your future options? >>

Please help me modify my dissertation topic...?

My aim was to explore personality traits and its relationship in determining the type of romantic relationship style and relationship satisfaction in young adults at university. However, I am not certain if I should take out the satisfaction measure out because I am not sure of the type of research method to use. PLEASE help me, I am so far behind on my dissertation and it is stressing me out.

I'd keep the satisfaction rating in and make your dissertation a questionnaire - I'd actually take out the romantic relationship style unless you know of a survey you can use as it's something that would be very difficult to measure. You could still include questions like "do you tend to find yourself attracted to the same kind of people" / "how much do you think this affects your satisfaction in relationships" if you do end up doing a survey, but I maybe wouldn't make it the focus? If you still feel uncertain, talk to your supervisor and get their opinion.
