I intend to begin my research next week, after my work experience placement. After the referencing and citation taught element with our librarian, I have also decided to create a spread sheet to record all the sources that I use.
The first elements that I will focus research on will be present theories on the development of OCD, focusing on biological, environmental and psychological. After researching this, I will begin to investigate which is the most significant factor using investigations and experiments carried out by researchers.

An update on everything I have done so far...
Firstly, after initial research, I learnt that successful treatments of OCD can be used to produce theories on the causes of OCD. I have decided to alter the focus of my question to the causes of OCD.
The cause of OCD is not known, however, scientists speculate that people with OCD have a different brain activity pattern, moreover, deficiency of serotonin, a neurotransmitter, could lead to the development of OCD. These biological factors could be to blame, however, environmental (e.g. stress) and psychological factors could also be significant. I have decided that my question will be 'to what extent are biological factors responsible for the development of OCD?'
I have also completed Project Proposal Part A and my supervisor has completed Part B. After this, I completed the Planning Review.
