What causes a particular behaviour (or cognitive process)? What are the effects of particular factors (e.g. genes, environment, etc.) on behaviour? What are the effects of treatments or interventions on behaviour?<\/p>\n<p>The key is to continually narrow the question so the causes and\/or effects being asked about are increasingly specific. You can see this in the above example where it&#8217;s generally &#8220;what causes happiness?&#8221; Then when a specific cause is isolated after weeks of research (social comparison on social media) the final question can be more specific than the first.
