The proposed research topic is the interactive behavior of TikTok live broadcast users. The research question is: why do viewers actively interact with TikTok Live, and what is the result of these interactions? Write the methods section (about 700 words, 30% of the grade). Cover the design (for example, cross-sectional, survey, case study, comparative), the methodology (quantitative, qualitative, or mixed), the methods (questionnaire, semi-structured interviews or focus groups, or a mixture), and the sampling strategy (for example, convenience, snowball, purposive, stratified), and justify all of these choices. Explain how the data will be collected and analysed: the data collection method (how, where, with whom), the collection instrument and its key themes, how the themes link to the concepts identified in the literature review (how the concepts will be operationalized), a sentence or two on how ethics protocol will be followed, and the limitations (advantages and disadvantages, for example reliability, validity, and ethics) of your approach.
