Humans are set apart by the ability to solve problems--to do research. Hamlin (1966) described research as ". ..an unusually stubborn and persisting effort to think straight which involves the gathering and the intelligent use of relevant data” (p. 14). Kerlinger (1986) defined research as a “systematic, controlled, empirical, and critical investigation of natural phenomena guided by theory and hypotheses...” (p. 10). Warmbrod (1986) recommended ". ..we pay greater attention to the significance and importance of the problems and issues that we research” (p. 9). Is our research guided, thoughtful, and important?
