I want to purchase this book but I'm not sure if this will help me with my research.. I'm having a hard time to create a research title for my thesis because my professor wants us to make a Quantitative title with 4 variables and we find it very hard because he only wants us to use comma's and not like a phrase style title and I doubt that the examples he provided us is not for quantitative here is one of his example: 1. Gender role stress, Self-esteem, psychological well being and parenting style of house husband in Cavite he even doesnt want us to use words like, level, rate, percentage or any term for measurements and here are the words he often use for creating a quantitative titles: Perceived and Self-efficacy anyone please help me! I think I'm going crazy now because of this professor who doesnt want to explain everything well, 😞😞😞
