week 12: Flashcards
what is data saturation
you’ve collected enough data, if you collect any more it will just be repetitive q
what are memos/fieldnotes
things that researchers observe during a study
what is emic vs. etic
emic: subjective, insider
etic: objective, outsider
these are two different approaches to studying human culture
what is reflectivity
self-reflection, examines how researcher bais may impact work
what is bracketing
methods used to mitigate bias (ex. documenting personal values to determine how that may impact the data)
what is coding
organising data into themes and patterns
what is thematic analysis
systematic ways to analyse qualitative data
what is constant comparison and interpretation
idk look it up
what is triangulation
multiple methods, data sources and perspectives to examine a research question
why would homogeneity matter for qual
because it can be good for internal validity for what you’re studying
what is the best sampling strategy for qual
select participants based on who can gather the most relevant insights
what is theoretical sampling
selecting participants to help develop and refine theories
why is transferability and credibility important for an article
because it means adequate information has been gathered
what is transferability
degree to which findings can be applied to other contexts
what is credibility
when you can trust the information that the source provides
what determines sample size for qualitative research
what you’re trying to figure out determines the sample size
you dont need as much with qual because you are going more in depth
thats why theoretical or purposive sampling works better because youre gathering the participants with the most relevant insights
what is data saturation
you have exactly enough data to prove your point
whats phenomenology
how individuals interpret their experiences
whats ethnography
experiences of people in their natural settings (i.e. exploring different cultures)
whats the difference between an in vivo code and a direct quote
in vivo: key word
direct quote: what theyre actually saying with more context
what is content/initial coding
first initial observations
what is thematic coding
grouping content into categories
using in vivo coding usually
what is constant comparison
grounded theory, constantly comparing findings throughout
whats the difference between credibility, fittingness and auditability
all ways to determine trustworthiness
credibility: believability of findings
fittingness: transferability, was it an accurate representation of findings
audibility: if you were to do all the steps yourself, would you get the same results
