This document discusses the evaluation of a research study on the determinants influencing consumers' attitudes towards counterfeit products. The researcher chose this topic because the sale and purchase of counterfeit goods, despite being illegal, is still prevalent. The researcher aims to understand what causes this issue and why government regulations have been ineffective by asking questions about how regulations affect consumer attitudes and the impact of conformity pressures. One question is poorly structured by using the word "favorable". Overall, the researcher believes their study is feasible within time and resource constraints by using measurable terms and null hypotheses tested through a questionnaire.

A Study of Determinants Influencing the Consumer’s Attitude Towards
Counterfeit Products as a subject interests me. Why? Simple. It is because despite the fact that counterfeit products are illegal, the selling and buying activities of these are prevalent up until now. Besides, of course as a customer, I find it strange that sellers and buyers of such products are increasing in number as the time goes by. In other words. The topic directly affects me as a customer. This is one of the reasons why I chose this topic. What causes it? Why are the laws and regulations regarding this matter somewhat ineffective? These are the questions that came out after selecting my research problem. It only demonstrates my choice of issue as having the characteristic of being significant to the society at large. Hopefully, it may contribute in some way to the improvement of management processes of the government to such unlawful activity, and to the awareness of the sellers and buyers of counterfeit products. Based on the established guidelines on research, it could be concluded that good statements of the problem are essential to guide a research paper. The questions pinpoint exactly what I want to find out as a researcher and give my work a clear focus and purpose. Being said that, I would say that my SOPs attained the said attributes. I would say that my questions focused on my research topic. This tells that every question I am going to use in my research paper is directly reflected and relevant to my topic. Moreover, the most vital characteristic is that every statement of the problem is researchable. Regarding this area, I made sure that before I proceed to my research paper, references and sources are available whether it is through the use of online browsers or a group of individuals. The next one is its feasibility. I am certain that I would be able to answer my statements of the problem within the time frame and practical constraints. To prove my aforementioned reviews above, let us take for example this one SOP of mine: Does government regulations of anti-counterfeiting affect the attitude of buyers towards counterfeit products? We can see the relationship between this specific question to my research topic. This question is directly lifted from the research subject. It directly presents a question that answers the research subject. Additionally, the answer from this may be done through my research instrument which is a pre-structured questionnaire containing a yes or no answers. On the other hand, the third statement of the problem which is Does pressure of conformity have a favourable effect on their attitude towards counterfeit products? is I think apparently poorly structured. By using the word “favourable” just implies that I am asking for a subjective value judgment which I must not. Concerning this, I must have used terms with more measurable definitions or not used the word at all. Following the statements of the problem are the hypotheses. Definitely, these are not just random guesses but based on existing questions of the paperwork. Because I have stated that my SOPs are feasible, my hypotheses are thus testable. All my hypotheses used the terms “do not” and “there is no”. In this way, we could say that I used null hypotheses. Overall, I think that my research paper is capable of being done or carried out. Considering my skill as a researcher, available resources, time and other restrictions, my research is capable of being put into practice or accomplished.
