[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

An introduction and problem statement is a section of a research paper or project that clearly outlines the problem being addressed and provides context for the study. This section usually includes the research question (RQ) that the study aims to answer.

For example, a problem statement for a research study on the impact of social media on mental health could be:
"Despite the increasing use of social media platforms, there is a lack of understanding of the potential negative effects on individuals' mental health. This study seeks to investigate the relationship between social media usage and mental health outcomes in order to provide insights into the potential risks and benefits of social media use."

The importance of clearly defining the problem being addressed in the introduction and problem statement is that it helps to set the stage for the study, justify the need for the research, and guide the direction of the study. By identifying and clarifying the specific research question, researchers can focus their efforts on addressing a specific issue and potentially contribute to the existing body of knowledge on the topic.
