Develop the objectives                      

These objectives will be different from the ones formulated in the first step. Those were broad objectives. Now, after having completed the review of literature, the researcher will have a better understanding of what he would like to contribute to the topic as he is aware of what is known and unknown about the topic. So, there is a need of modifying the objectives accordingly. Objectives should be complete and clearly specified. Research objectives are of two typers :

1. Primary objectives

There are the main aims of the study. These are also known as specific objectives.

2. Secondary objectives

These are the aims which will be achieved along with main objectives. These provide support for main objectives. There are also known as general objectives.

The objective of research is to find answers to the questions by applying scientific procedures. In other words, the main aim of research is to find out the truth which is hidden and has not yet been discovered. Although every research study has its own specific objectives the research objectives may be broadly grouped as follows :

1. To gain familiarity with new insights into a phenomenon (i.e. formulative research studies);

2. To accurately protray the characteristics of a particular individual, group, or a situation (i.e. descriptive research studies);

3. To analyse the frequency with which something occurs (i.e. diagnostic research studies); and

4. To examine the hypothesis of a causal relationship between two variable. (i.e. hypothesis-testing research studies).
