After encountering some obstruction from Tong Xiaoxi, Gu Fanxing and Ling Jiuer encountered setbacks one after another in the subsequent process of writing their papers, as if there were countless thorns blocking their way with every step forward.

It really proves the truth that no one can succeed easily. Only after going through untold hardships and walking through a thorny road can you see the dawn of victory.

If Gu Fanxing and Ling Jiuer want their papers to be successfully published, they will probably have to go through 81 difficulties and withstand the ruthless destruction of this truth before they can finally get what they want.

The following days will be the highlight moment for them to verify the truth.

The first is that the results of the data analysis were not as expected.

They spent a lot of time and energy collecting questionnaire data, and after preliminary statistical analysis, they found that there were large deviations from their previous assumptions.

They originally thought that virtual idols would have a significant positive or negative impact on teenagers' values, but the actual data showed a complex and ambiguous situation, which made them very confused.

"Jiuer, why are the data like this? It's totally inconsistent with our expectations." Gu Fanxing looked at the densely packed data on the computer screen, his brows furrowed, his voice full of anxiety.

Ling Jiuer also had a worried look on her face. "I don't know either, Xingxing. Is there something wrong with our questionnaire design? Or is the sample selection not representative enough?"

In order to solve this problem, they had to re-examine the design of the questionnaire and carefully check whether the wording of each question was clear and accurate, and whether there was any leading or ambiguous meaning.

At the same time, they also conducted a more in-depth analysis of the characteristics of the sample, trying to find out factors that may have caused data bias.

In the process of reanalyzing the data, they introduced some theories about the formation of adolescent values, such as Erikson's theory of psychosocial development.

This theory holds that adolescents are in a conflict stage of self-identity and role confusion, and they are easily influenced by external factors in the process of exploring their self-identity.

As an emerging cultural phenomenon, virtual idols may have a unique impact on the values of young people at this stage.

"Fanxing, I think it may be that we did not fully consider the variable of the frequency and depth of teenagers' exposure to virtual idols in the questionnaire, resulting in the data being unable to accurately reflect the differences in impact." Ling Jiuer put forward her own ideas.

Gu Fanxing nodded. "That makes sense. Let's readjust our analysis method and include this variable to see if there will be any new discoveries."

After several days and nights of hard work, they reprocessed and analyzed the data many times, constantly trying different statistical methods and models, and finally found some patterns and trends hidden in the data, but this also meant that they needed to modify and adjust some of their previous views.

However, before they could completely get out of the dilemma of data analysis, the problem of insufficient argumentation of their views came one after another. In the process of writing the paper, they found that some of their views lacked sufficient theoretical support and actual case evidence, and seemed very empty and weak.

"Fanxing, we say that virtual idols can influence young people's values through emotional resonance, but how can we make this point more convincing?" Ling Jiuer held the draft in her hand with a distressed look on her face.

Gu Fanxing bit the tip of the pen, thought for a moment and said, "We need to find more specific cases, such as how the words and deeds of a virtual idol aroused emotional resonance among teenagers and changed their values.

At the same time, some relevant psychology and communication theories should be cited to strengthen the argument.

For example, Bandura's social learning theory emphasizes the role of observational learning and role models. Virtual idols can be regarded as role models for teenagers to some extent, thus influencing their values and behaviors. "

So they started a new round of information search and case screening.

It is undoubtedly a huge challenge to find evidence to support your own views in the vast amount of literature.

They often feel frustrated because they can't find the right information, and they also fall into self-doubt because they don't understand a case deeply enough.

Fortunately, they did not give up in the end, and continued to encourage and support each other. "Jiuer, don't be discouraged, as long as we hold on a little longer, we will definitely find it." Gu Fanxing always encouraged Ling Jiuer like this.

Just when they were trying to solve the problem of argumentation, the problem of incorrect citation format gave them another blow.

Because I did not strictly follow the school's required format when citing literature, there were many irregular citations in the paper.

After spending so much time on something and finally getting it done, the result is wrong. This is undoubtedly frustrating and frustrating.

"Oh my, how could this happen? How much time will it take to revise it!" Ling Jiuer couldn't help but complain as she looked at the dense citation errors pointed out by her instructor.

Gu Fanxing took a deep breath and said, "It's no use complaining. We can only calm down and make changes one by one."

The mistake has been made, and no amount of blaming others will help. The only way is to correct the mistake and do it again according to the correct format.

They checked the citations in the paper sentence by sentence and paragraph by paragraph against the school's academic standards manual, and re-marked and reorganized each cited document.

This is an extremely tedious and error-prone task that requires a high level of concentration and patience.

In the process of modifying the citation format, they also found that some previously cited literature was of low quality or not very relevant to the topic of the paper.

Therefore, we have to re-screen and cite more appropriate literature, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty and workload of the work.

"Xingxing, I'm really tired. I feel like I'll never finish this paper." Ling Jiuer leaned back in her chair and said tiredly.

Gu Fanxing stood up, stretched his stiff shoulders, and said firmly: "Jiuer, we have come this far, we must not give up. Although these problems are difficult, as long as we complete them step by step, the problems will always be solved.

Things are often solved in the process of constantly discovering problems and then solving them.

Only by discovering problems can we solve them. We must believe in ourselves and persevere. ”

In order to improve efficiency, they developed a detailed work plan, breaking down daily tasks into specific small goals and then completing them one by one.

During the day, they spend their time in the library looking up information; at night, they return to the dormitory to continue revising their papers, often staying up late into the night.

In the process, they also encountered some technical problems, such as the use of data analysis software and the operation of reference management tools, but they gradually overcame these difficulties by consulting tutorials and asking classmates for advice.

After weeks of hard work, they finally solved a series of problems, including data analysis results that were not as good as expected, insufficient argumentation, and incorrect citation formats.

Although the first draft of the paper is not perfect yet, it already has a relatively clear framework and substantial content.

However, they knew that this was only the first step of a long journey, and there would be more revisions and improvements waiting for them. But at this time, Gu Fanxing and Ling Jiuer were no longer as confused and helpless as they were at the beginning. They learned to persist in the face of setbacks and found the direction to move forward in the face of difficulties.
