Significance of study
Explain the significance and rationale of the proposed research
The current research work has depicted a study carried out to compare among the perception of
boys and girls towards mensuration in India. This study is immensely important to break some
stereotype thoughts of people living in India. It is mainly due to the fact of still considering it a
deprived nation with large number of poor regions in it. This in turn results in causing numerous
3

health related issues in the girls and they are largely suffering from major number of fitness
concerns (Lewis, 2015). It is therefore important to eradicate the deteriorating mind set of certain
people who are consequently hampering the well-being of girls to a great extent. This
investigation is thereby intended to compare the awareness level of both boys and girls about
mensuration to later ascertain its pertinence.
State clearly the importance of carrying out such research
This study is important in terms of identifying the realistic perception of people towards
mensuration with a major involvement of both girls and boys. It is with a special context of India
where its deprived regions are not having apt management of menstrual hygiene. Herein, on
comparing the thoughts of boys and girls towards menstruation, it has been found that the boys
are not assured of menstruation and calls it a taboo. Not only the boys, but there are girls who are
together known to ignore the importance of being hygienic at the time of going through their
menstrual cycle. It is also due to a state of poverty that insists near around 70% Indian women to
use old rags rather using the sanitary napkins (Palinkas and et.al., 2015).
This leads to the existence of several reproductive diseases in women. It is however due to a
sense of disgrace and dishonour that is directly associated with the fact of menstruation in India.
Due to which, a large number of women are still not allowed to enter their kitchens as well as
temples and also not permitted to touch some food and water the plants. Although, there are
people who believes it to be orthodox mentality and thus do not entertain it. This study will thus
refer to determine such existent perception of boys and girls towards menstruation in India and
intend to correct the same.
Evaluate the main benefits that different stakeholders will obtain through your research
This is to ascertain the benefits that will be obtained from the associated stakeholders of
this research work. This has mainly involved the Indian boys and girls whose perception towards
menstruation will be explored in this study by the investigator. It will thereby benefit the boys to
have an ideal perception towards menstruation by getting aware of its actual occurrence and
consequences, if treated wrongly (McLaren, 2016). Also, the researcher associated with study
will be benefitted by the fact after determining the real perception of the boys and girls about
4

menstruation. By which, it will be easy to address the factual issues that are arising due to a
negative perception of people towards menstruation. This will in turn assist to conduct another
research to find out ways for improving people’s perception towards menstruation in India as a
way of avoiding its atrocious consequences.
It is important to state clearly who will benefit from what
Herein, the girls will be benefited from good health with guys having accurate knowledge about
it and the researcher will get to know the real perception of Indian boys and girls about
menstruation to further take a reasonable step towards it.
Aims: To identify the comparative study on exploring boys and females perception of
menstruation in India.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Research Strategies
Research strategy is considering as the crucial element such as the crucial element such
as research strategy that helps to adopt suitable techniques.
Research strategies is the crucial element of the organization that helps to take care the
needs of the research matter. Along with that, it will also take care of the research studies.
Research strategies is helpful to adopt suitable techniques. The main purpose of the research
strategies are to identify the study and the type of availability of the information. Overall, it also
helps to bring the better quality management goals. There are mainly two main types of research
strategies quantitative and qualitative. Present research will have been used quantitative research
styles which is generally based on objective in nature. This research will help people to identify
the actual statistics of menstruation and the perception of boys and girls on that particular topic.
Overall, quantitative research has identified and followed the statistical structure. In other terms
12

quantitative research method involves some measurement things such as tangible, countable,
sensate. This strategy is more effective than qualitative which is based on subjective. On the
contrary quantitative based on objective. In terms of qualitative research, this strategy has
generally focused on opinions and perceptions rather than hard measurable data. In terms of
advantages of qualitative research is that, it is more subjective material and helps to take out the
measurable outcomes. Besides, limitations of qualitative research is that it is the rigid data that
creates more difficult to assess and demonstrate.
Research Design
Every research has been made on some specific research design, some authors consider
research design as the choice between qualitative and quantitative. Under which all research has
been based on some specific good and results (Willis, 2017). This can be divided into two
methods exploratory and conclusive. Overall, it brings new data and approaches in order to fulfill
the research aims and objectives. Exploratory research, doesn't have aims and objectives to
provides final and conclusive answers to research questions. This process will go to take the
better effective target marketing goals. That makes the effective process and target oriented
goals. Besides, it also helps to take the better advantage and growth oriented process. Overall, it
brings new better advantage and growth oriented performance in order to meet the needs of
research goals. Overall, conclusive research design been always gives the research questions.
That will help to take the approachable task oriented goals. Present study will be taken cross
sectional design for making research more productive and effective.
It is the another research element that helps to take research further, research approach
generally having of different types such as deductive research, inductive research and deductive
research. Deductive approach helps to make the productive nature of growth and findings the
best approachable target goals (Sommer and et.la., 2015). Overall, it brings new opportunity and
growth in order to handling the best result goals. Present research has been taken deductive and
Inductive research approach.
Data collection is the process of gathering and measuring information on targeted
variables in an established systematic fashion, which then enables one to answer. Overall, it
brings new better challenging and effective growth channel.
Cross sectional design is the method that helps to accomplish the research objectives. It is
the best tool that used to capture information based on data gathered for specific point in time.
13

The data that has been gathered from age, gender, income and education. There are some
advantages and disadvantages of the cross sectional study
Advantages
 Helps to prove or disprove assumptions.
 Capture a specific point in time.
 The data can be used for various types of research.
 This style has been used for various research.
Disadvantages
 This not useful to analyze the over a period to time.
 Does t not help to determine cause and effect.
Longitudinal is the another matter of fact that helps to take the best approachable task
oriented process. Longitudinal study like a cross sectional one is observational. Under this study
investigator does several observations on the same subjects over a period of times in lasting the
many years. There several benefits of this strategy is that researcher will easily detect the
developments or changes in the characteristics of the targets' population at both the group and the
individual level. As compare to progression of the research that helps to determine which designs
is most appropriate. Present study will be taken cross sectional research design because it is more
quickly than longitudinal studies. This is the reason that most of the researchers are heavily
recognizable cross sectional instead of longitudinal to make better establish whether there are
links or associations between certain variables.
Data Collection
Data collection is the most essential and important fact that helps to research analysis for
getting the best effective research outputs and better analyzing method. Besides, it is the most
essential and method gathering and measuring process. Through investigator method can easily
acceptable and fast growing matter of fact that helps to take the better effective growth and
challenging better impressive method to take deeper channel of growth. There are basically two
types of making good things. Data collection is of two types quantitative and qualitative
collection methods. Investigator requires getting the best effective process and making good data
collection method and goals (Newman and Wolfgang, 2017). Overall, it brings new challenging
and effective performance level.
14

Quantitative data collection methods are based on random sampling and structured data
collection instruments that fit diverse experiences into predetermined response categories. They
produce results are to be very much summarize, compare and generalize. On the other hand
quantitative is most concerned with testing hypothesis derived from theory and or being able to
estimate of a phenomenon of interest. According to research questions, under which sample has
been taken as per the randomly assigned to different treatments. According to this, participation
may be randomly assigned to different treatment. There are different method to collect
quantitative method. Overall, the things is depends upon the best possible manner. Such as
interviews, questionnaire. Present report is taken questionnaire survey and growth making
performance (Sahoo and et.la., 2015). Overall, it brings new better effective growth making task
performance. Besides, present study will be based on apart from that, it will take better

there are different advantages are there that helps to make the better environmental goals and
techniques. Besides, it also helps to make the advantages goals and techniques through
researcher get good data and better information growth (McLaren, 2016).
Overall, it brings new opportunity and growth in order to meet the needs of the research
goals. There are another method of data collection that is more reliable and effective that is
qualitative. This gives good impact in evaluating by providing information useful to understand
the processes behind observed results and assess changes in peoples perceptions of their well
being. Overall, qualitative method will use to improve the quality of survey based quantitative
evaluation findings. It makes good process or things to handle the large growing performance.
Generally qualitative research overall, this method helps to create the hypothesis analysis that is
the strengthen the design of survey questionnaire that helps to explore the perception of boys and
girls. This must be an open ended and close ended questionnaire method. Overall, it brings new
better changes and well effective taking data for data analysis. Qualitative method will mention
into three categories, such as in depth interviews, observation methods and document review.
15

Overall, it brings new challenges and better opportunity and growth. In terms of qualitative
studies adults women themselves experience their period that is something in routine. On the
basis of data collection of menstruation are still considered to be taboo subject (Dion, 2014). On
the basis of this questionnaire research method many more data has been collects such as women
are going through from many body changes such as mood swing, anger, tiredness etc.
This also helps to provide the better approachable growth channel in order to remove the
best approachable manner of growth. Overall, for collecting data researcher will require some
specific data resources such as given below:
 Cost
 Human resource
 Time
 Planning tool
 Tools and techniques
On the other hand, In this present file and making good goals' investigator will also need to
acquire the best approachable target goals. For that, investigator making a questionnaire for data
collection instrument. Under which they take 50 people out of them 30 are girls and 20 are boys.

Primary data collection is the major method of the data gathering by which researcher can
collect the fresh information about the subject. With help of primary data collection, individual
can collect idea, opinion, perception, individual thoughts, suggestions etc regarding the subject
through which effective solution of problem can easily obtain. There are several methods of
primary data collection that are as follows-
 Interviews-It is a personal interaction among the parties. This method of gathering
information includes presentation of oral verbal stimuli and reply in terms of oral verbal
responses (Silverman, 2016). In this method, more information about the subject ca
collect and sample can easily control in this method. There is a greater flexibility under
this method by which researcher can collect effective information.
 Observation-Observation become scientific technique and the method of data collection
for the scholar while it serves a formulated research purpose and is systematically planed
and subjected to checks and controls. In this aspect, data is not affected by past behaviour
and future intension. On the basis of observation, researcher can effectively collect
information and find out solution of research study.
 Survey- This is the effective method of primary data collection under which scholar can
easily collection opinion, feedback, review and perception of respondents in the survey.
In this method, responses can be analysed with quantitative method by assigning
numerical value. In this result are generally easier to assess and analyse.
As per the discussion there are various method of data collection in the study. By use of effective
method, scholar can find out solution. Following are some stages of data analysis by which
solution can obtain- Define the question-It is the first stage under which scholar have to focus on the question
of research. In this stage, researcher set the actual objective and question of study. By
develop effective aim and objective, scholar can find out the solution of research
problem. Set clear priorities- In this stage researcher focuses on the actual priorities of the
investigation. In this aspect, scholar focuses on what to measure and how to measure it. Collect data- In this stage information can gather by various techniques such as primary
data collection and secondary data collection. In this aspect researcher have to select right
18

method because outcome of the investigation is largely depends upon the method of data
collection. Analyse data- Once the data is collected from the primary data and secondary data
collection method (Vaioleti, 2016). Researcher analyse and assess the information about
the subject. In this aspect, researcher used the research strategy to assess and analyse
information so as effective solution of problem can obtain.
 Interpret results-This is the last stage under which researcher finally look toward the
results and outcomes. In this stage, scholar find out the solution on the basis of collected
data. On the basis of gathered information, researcher finally conclude and summarise the
information so as effective result can obtain about entire investigation.

Ethical Principles
Adhering to ethical principles is the foremost concern of research because it is important
for the individual to ensure effectiveness of collected and analysed data. In this study the focus
of research was to analyse boys and females perception of menstruation in India. It is radical
concept where opinions of people can conflicting because the terms shares different perception
and option of people according to their upbringing (Tegegne and Sisay, 2014). The study will be
focuses on appreciating opinions and views of every respondents of menstruation but the
evaluation will be based ion judgement where the scholar will suggest different ideas shared by
people over monthly cycles of girls. However, when collecting information the focus of
21

researcher will on protecting interest of each and every participants because ethical consideration
is the situation where the scholar is liable to everyone beliefs, values, morals, etc.
Further, in this study the focus of scholar will be on referencing the study in order to
make study considerable. This is the process of proving evident to research which makes process
systematic and ethics ( Miller, Birch and Jessop, 2012). However, to make study more viable
and reliable in tern of ethics the scholar will aim at citing or in texting references which will
helps in maintaining effectiveness of entire study. In addition, the in texting of research data
helps in promoting confidentiality and ethicality of collected information.
To overcome negative perception of respondents by adhering to ethical practices the
research will be aiming at demonstrating practical examples to people. This will help the person
in developing understanding among people by protecting their beliefs and values. In addition, the
investigator will conduct comprise interview of boys and girls in order to make them comfortable
with the topic. This will help in analysing their concepts and level of comfort when talking about
mensuration, because it is the most common issue in India where the girls faces lots of societal
problems and discrimination (van Eijk and et.al., 2016).
Apparently, the adherence to ethical of researcher will be focused on impacting and ching
views of people like the focus of researcher will be on analysing views points of respondents by
comparing and contrasting which will be helps in developing critical understanding over research
and individual perception. In addition to perception the positive points of study will be based on
making respondents realized that menstruation is no big deal of contagious problems on the basis
of which women are neglected. Moreover, in this the focuses on scholar will be on making girls
and boys understand the biological concepts of monthly cycles in order boost their knowledge
and encourage their participation in providing equal status to women regardless of their opinion
and beliefs (Steele, 2016).
Research limitation
Limitation to study is the common aspect of research because when conducting research
there are various divisions of study which needs to be considered. Imitation of investigation
makes entire process rigid because it limits the sources of data collection and analysis which can
impact reliability and validity of study. Moreover, the limitation in research arise with the aims
and objectives which can not be controlled and managed. It restricts the results and their
influence on public. Like in this the focus of scholar is to explore the perception of boys and
22

females perception of menstruation in India (Rah and et.al., 2015). However, the topic is wide
and research can extract information from various sources but the limitation of framing analysis
impact the reliability of results.
Further, the topic is sensitive for India because every person has their own cultural beliefs
and values to biological suffering which can not be controlled and argued (Jin and et.al., 2015).
Further, opinions of respondents can influence the interpretation of the findings of research. Like
in this study the scholar will be focused on conducting primary data collection for which
referencing of different books and journals will be a critical process because for this the scholar
will have to seek for proper arguments of respondents as per study of journals.
In addition, in primary interview is process where the researcher is bound to adhere
ethical principles which limits the data collection process which impacts reliability of analysed
data. On the other data analysis is the complex part of study where it is important for the
researcher to compare and contrast collected information but in this study the research will have
to make arguments and comparison of data on the basis of two different opinion on one given
topic ( Zumitzavan and Michie, 2015). The discussion and comparing of gathered data is simple
but the researcher will face issue validating information. Validating information is research
limitation because at the end it is important for the scholar to draw outcomes on the basis of own
understanding over analysed study.
Limitation of researcher will be reflected in interview of respondents where the research
will have to focus on values and beliefs of person before asking question which will limit access
to information. Moreover, the scholar can not force any of the participants to share their views on
mensuration because it is individual perception and upbringing which can be either negative
positive and person do not feel like sharing (Jin and et.al., 2015). Further the topic is wide but the
concepts which needs to be focused on is narrow which will impact reliability and validity of
study.
Thus, in accordance to analysis it can be outlined that research limitation to study are
concerned with ethical principle because it limits researcher way of collecting information.
Further, it limits the ways to analysing core concepts and perception of people over mensuration
in India because as per secondary study it has been analysed that India is one of the developing
country which lacks adequate knowledge over women mensuration cycle (Shanthakumari and
et.al., 2014). Thus, the limitation will be advantages of study which will impact the effectiveness
23

of conclusion and results which will be utilized from collected and analysed information of
interview.
CONCLUSION
On the basis of major operating goals and impact full decision making, overall research
has been based on the exploring the process of making good things and better growth making
performance. The Best overall, it brings new opportunity basically overall, file has been
discussed about the menstruation process that will explore the process of doing the things.
Besides, research has conducted with the aim of growing menstruation awareness among all boys
and girls in order to maintained the proper effective growth. Besides, it also introduces better
effective growth. Research has shown the women often do not converse freely about
menstruation. Overall, it brings new opportunity to the women to take better sanitation while
having their periods. On the perspective of boys, it has been cleared out that, Mens are more
knowledgeable and effective in terms of knowing the period cycle. Besides, it is equally
important for men's as well regarding the knowledge of menstruation process. Silencing
conversations about menstruation have negative consequences on women, including.
Emotionally and well effective. In the perspective of men seem obvious about the impacts on
women.
