25
Q

Qualitative does not:

A

Test hypotheses

Seek to make comparisons btwn groups

26
Q

qualitative methodologies are evaluated on 7 criteria…

A 
Epistemological position
Research q
What constitutes data
How data analysed
Reflexivity
Critical lango awareness
How validity is judged
27
Q

GT and IPA are considered to be more

A

Experiential/realist

28
Q

The most constructionist approaches to qual research are

A

DA & FDA

29
Q

For grounded theory you need how many participants?

A

Multiple

30
Q

For data collection Grounded theory always uses

A

Interviews

31
Q

Big thing that differentiates narrative from memory work?

A

Narrative interested in the product of self construction whereas memory work interested in process that we use to build identity

32
Q

Out of the 6 different types of doing qual research there are how many types of data

A

4

33
Q

All 6 ways of doing qual research use different methods of

A

Collecting data

34
Q

More realist approaches are more likely to use what sort of data?

A

Productive

35
Q

More constructionist approaches use what sort of data?

A

Selective

36
Q

Gradual sampling in grounded theory means that

A

Research will go from the data to theory and vice versa. Cyclic

37
Q

What is saturation in grounded theory?

A

Happens where u analyse an interview and don’t get any new themes. Already covered all themes in previous interviews

38
Q

Recommended size for GT interviews is

A

8-12

39
Q

In IPA purposive sampling refers to

A

Pick your sample with a purpose in mind.

40
Q

Different epistemologies of the approaches to qual research mean that different approaches to

A

Data analysis are employed in each approach

41
Q

Approaches that take a more realist position use data analysis techniques that are more

A

Quantitative

42
Q

Approaches that come from a more constructionist position use data analysis techniques that are based more on

A

Rhetorical analysis and linguistic deconstruction

43
Q

In data analysis All approaches in qual research use some form of

A

Data reduction or thematic analysis

44
Q

GT and IPA do the same thing in data analysis except that they

A

Use a completely different language to talk about it

45
Q

Reflexivity refers to

A

The topics we choose, our questions, the aspects of data that are important to us reflect who we are - our subjectivity. Hard to separate ourself from objects of inquiry

46
Q

To do science well we need to think carefully about our own

A

Subjectivity and we need to exercise reflexivity

47
Q

Reflexivity is also seem as our awareness of 2 things:

A

Our contribution to the constructions of meaning

The impossibility if remaining outside of subject matter while conducting research

48
Q

There are two types of reflexivity

A

Personal

Epistemological or functional

49
Q

Personal reflexivity is all about

A

YOU the researcher. Values, interests, beliefs etc how they have shaped the research

50
Q

Epistemological reflexivity is how

A

Assumptions made in the course of research affect research process findings, and interpretations

51
Q

In critical language awareness we look at two metaphors

A

Language as a mirror

Language as a construction yard

52
Q

Language as a mirror is what approach

A

Realist

53
Q

Constructionist

54
Q

Language as a mirror means that

A

Language used is a direct reflection of reality. No attempt to unpack the language.

55
Q

Which approaches use language as a mirror?

A

Thematic analysis, GT, IPA

56
Q

A

Language is used to construct versions of things, ppl, ideas, events. Words are never simply neutral reflections of reality. Seen as influential choices that represent reality in selective ways

57
Q

Language as a construction yard is used in which approaches?

A

FDA, DA

58
Q

When used in qual research, Language as a construction yard is used to show:

A

How meanings are produced
How meanings change across culture and time
How meanings shape experience

59
Q

4 things that need to be made clear when doing research and thinking about validity

A

Research q
Kind of knowledge generated
Research method
How findings address the research q

60
Q

61
Q
