Questions
Question (1)
I am trying to do research with an immigrant group and want to understand how they feel stigmatized which comes from others/host groups. My participants will definitely be members of the immigrant group. Literature has plenty of research but to my knowledge, none of them has done research with victimized groups, their participants are healthy people, non-immigrants, and so on. Any help would be most appreciated.
