    Study Notes

    Limitations in Qualitative Research

    • Qualitative research is not generalizable like quantitative research.
    • It's based on empirical evidence, not numerical data.
    • Evaluating qualitative studies requires assessing if the sample aligns with the theoretical framework.
    • The basis for sample selection and the emergence of categories should be considered.
    • Relationships and connections between events should be analyzed.
    • Triangulation (comparing sources, methods, researchers) is used to validate findings.
    • Negative case analysis revisits and potentially redefines categories when new data contradicts prior explanations.
    • Member validation (involving participants) ensures accuracy and resonance.
    • Qualitative studies are time-consuming, focusing on saturation rather than set timeframes.
    • Data preparation and coding can take a considerable time.
    • A researcher must bring new perspectives to the study, balancing participant insights with their expertise.
    • Strong writing skills are essential to resonate with the intended audience.
    • Building trust and fostering authentic representation are crucial for qualitative research.
    • The ultimate goal is to effectively communicate findings to the target audience.
