Flashcards

Non-generalizability of Qualitative Research

Qualitative research aims to deeply understand experiences and perspectives, not to generalize findings to a larger population. It focuses on rich descriptions and interpretations.

Triangulation in Qualitative Research

Triangulation involves using multiple sources of data, methods, or researchers to confirm the validity of findings. It helps build credibility in qualitative research.

Negative Case Analysis

Negative case analysis challenges previous explanations by introducing different data. This forces researchers to revisit their findings and potential redefine categories.

Member Validation

Member validation involves participants or similar individuals reviewing the findings to ensure accuracy and relevance to their experiences. It helps ensure participant voices are accurately represented.

Time-consuming Nature of Qualitative Research

Qualitative research is time-intensive. Data collection can continue until saturation is reached, which means collecting data until no new information emerges. This can take considerable time.

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.
