31Design strategies for qualitative research includes
[blank_start]Naturalistic inquiry[blank_end]: Studying real-world situations as they unfold naturally; Nonmanipulative and noncontrolling; Openness to whatever emerges with a lack of predetermined constraints on findings.
[blank_start]Emergent design flexibility[blank_end]: Openness to adapting inquiry as understanding deepens and/or situations change; avoids getting locked into a rigid design that eliminates responsiveness and pursues new paths of discovery as they emerge.
[blank_start]Purposeful sampling[blank_end]: Cases for study are selected because they are information rich and illuminative. Sampling is aimed at insight about phenomena, not empirical generalisation from a sample to a population.- ANaturalistic inquiry
- BEmergent design flexibility
- CPurposeful sampling
- DQualitative data
- EPersonal experience and engagement
- FEmpathic neutrality and mindfulness
- GDynamic systems
- HUnique case orientation
- IInductive analysis & creative synthesis
- JHolistic perspective
- KContext sensitivity
- LVoice, perspectives, and reflexivity
32Data collection and fieldwork strategies
[blank_start]Qualitative data[blank_end]: Observations that yield detailed, thick descriptions; inquiry in depth; interviews that capture direct quotations about personal perspectives and experiences.
[blank_start]Personal experience and engagement[blank_end]: Direct contact with and gets close to the people, situation and phenomenon under study; the researchers' personal experiences are an important part of the inquiry and critical to understanding the phenomenon.
[blank_start]Empathic neutrality and mindfulness[blank_end]: Seeks vicarious understanding without judgement (neutrality) by showing openness, sensitivity, respect, awareness, and responsiveness. Being fully present.
[blank_start]Dynamic systems[blank_end]: Attention to process; assumes change as ongoing whether the focus is on an individual, organisation, community or culture. Mindful of and attentive to system and situation dynamics.- AQualitative data
- BPersonal experience and engagement
- CEmpathic neutrality and mindfulness

- KContext sensitivity
- LVoice, perspective, and reflexivity
33Analysis strategies
[blank_start]Unique case orientation[blank_end]: Assumes that each case is special and unique; the first level of analysis is being true to, respecting, and capturing the details of the individual cases being studied; cross-case analysis follows from and depends on the quality of individual case studies.
[blank_start]Inductive analysis & creative synthesis[blank_end]: Immersion in the details and specifics of the data to discover important patterns, themes, and interrelationships; begins by exploring, then confirming, guided by analytical principles rather than rules, ends with a creative synthesis.
[blank_start]Holistic perspective[blank_end]: The whole phenomenon under study is understood as a complex system that is more than the sum of its parts; focus on complex interdependencies and system dynamics that cannot meaningfully be reduced to a few discrete variables and linear, causeeffect relationships.
[blank_start]Context sensitivity[blank_end]: Places findings in a social, historical, and temporal context; careful about, even dubious of, the possibility or meaningfulness of generalizations across time and space; emphasizes instead careful comparative case analyses and extrapolating patterns for possible transferability and adaptation in new settings.
[blank_start]Voice, perspective, and reflexivity[blank_end]: The qualitative analyst owns and is reflective about her or his own voice and perspective; a credible voice conveys authenticity and trustworthiness; complete objectivity being impossible and pure subjectivity undermining credibility, the researcher’s focus becomes balance—understanding and depicting the world authentically in all its complexity while being self-analytical, politically aware, and reflexive in consciousness- AUnique case orientation

59Things that are relevant to a researchers positioning for reflexivity is not dependent on the context
- AVerdadero
- BFalso
60A researcher's [blank_start]position[blank_end] is relevant because it can affect access to the 'field', it may shape the nature of the researcher-participant relationship, it may affect the way in which we construct the world, use language, pose questions, choose our frameworks, and how we make meaning of the information we gather.
- Aposition
61The position of the researcher may shape the nature of the researcher-participant relationship. However, this will not affect the information that participants are willing to share.
- AVerdadero
- BFalso
62The position of the researcher may affect the way they construct the world which will affect how meaning is made from gathered information.
- AVerdadero
- BFalso
63Reflexivity can be achieved by
- AHaving multiple researchers
- BBeing transparent with participants
- CKeeping a journal
- DRestricting access to participants

- CMilage
- DEquipment used
- EThe number of cups of tea consumed
66For reflexivity purposes, once a journal entry has been written it should not be reviewed.
- AVerdadero
- BFalso
67[blank_start]Transparent positioning[blank_end] is about being open and clear about a researcher's position.
- ATransparent positioning

70Photo elicitation is...
- Aa process
- Ba single step
- Cnot a good way to conduct research
- Dquantitative
71[blank_start]Photo elicitation[blank_end] provides [blank_start]participants[blank_end] the opportunity to tell tales about their [blank_start]everyday[blank_end] experience
- APhoto elicitation
- BSocial construction
- Cparticipants
- Dsubjects
- Eeveryday
- Fobjective
72Photo elicitation studies allow access to what some researchers conceptualise as the 'unknown unknowns'. Things that the researcher may not even be aware of when conducting a study.
- AVerdadero
- BFalso
73What are some of the unknown unknowns mentioned in the 'Picture this' study on sexuality and schooling conducted by Lousia Allen?
- ALearning about sexuality from graffiti
- BLearning about sexuality from sports
- CThe 5cm rule
- DUnofficial spaces
- ELearning about sexuality from peers
74Reasons given for why photo elicitation studies in schools are unconventional from the 'Picture this' sexualities and schooling study by Lousia Allen include:
- ASchools are risk-averse
- BTeenagers are already self-centered, giving them cameras will only inflate their sense of self importance.
- CCameras incite anxieties around issues of privacy and appropriate use
- DTeenagers don't have the maturity to take relevant photos
75Participants are unlikely to take staged or premeditated photos in a photo elicitation study, they are more likely to take opportunistic photos. Answer in reference to the 'Picture this' sexuality and schooling study by Louisa Allen.
- AVerdadero
- BFalso
76Some participants in the 'Picture this' sexuality and schooling study by Louisa Allen were initially uncertain about what photos to capture. This may have been attributable to the way sexuality is both 'everywhere and nowhere' at school.
- AVerdadero
- BFalso
77Researchers are often disappointed on first viewing participant images as they appear mundane and uninteresting.
- AVerdadero
- BFalso
78The following can be/are socially constructed:
- AColours
- BLanguage
- CFood
- DGestures
- EPeople
79Stereotypes are not forms of social construction.
- AVerdadero
- BFalso
80[blank_start]social movements[blank_end] such as [blank_start]civil rights and feminism[blank_end] can in part be seen as [blank_start]collective[blank_end] efforts to change [blank_start]socially constructed ideas[blank_end] about the world.
- Asocial movements
- Bcivil rights and feminism
- Ccollective
- Dsocially constructed ideas
81Examples of social constructions:
[blank_start]Language[blank_end]: The word cat, it doesn't look like a cat, but we as a society have decided it represents sounds that make up the word cat.
[blank_start]Colours[blank_end]: Pink is for girls, blue is for boys.
[blank_start]Food[blank_end]: Eating bacon and eggs for breakfast is western, in Korea vegetable soup for breakfast. Fortune cookies are not a Chinese invention but Japanese, in America Chinese food is served with fortune cookies.
[blank_start]Gestures[blank_end]: Thumbs up means good or well done in western society. In Iraq, it means screw you. Discussion around Michelle and Barak Obama fist bumping and what it means, apparaently it can have links to terrorism?
[blank_start]People[blank_end]: Women love shopping. American Indians are closer to nature.- ALanguage
- BColours
- CFood
- DGestures
- EPeople
82A [blank_start]symbol[blank_end] is a thing that stands in for another thing e.g. the USA Flag represents the United States and it's people.
- Asymbol
83[blank_start]Social constructions[blank_end] are collectively held beliefs where a culture agrees on a meaning. They can be difficult to change.
[blank_start]Stereotypes[blank_end] are forms of social constructions.- ASocial constructions
- BStereotypes
84There is an assumption among researchers that bias or skewedness in a research study is undesireable.
- AVerdadero
- BFalso
85[blank_start]preconceptions[blank_end] are not the same as [blank_start]bias[blank_end], unless the researcher fails to mention them.
Different researchers will approach a study from different [blank_start]positions[blank_end] or perspectives. This might lead to different, although equally [blank_start]valid[blank_end], [blank_start]understandings[blank_end] of a particular situation under study.
While some may see these different ways of [blank_start]knowing[blank_end] as a [blank_start]reliability[blank_end] problem, others feel that these different ways of seeing provide a [blank_start]richer[blank_end], more developed understanding of [blank_start]complex[blank_end] phenomena.
Understanding something about the position, perspective, beliefs and [blank_start]values[blank_end] of the researcher is an issue in all [blank_start]research[blank_end], but particulary in [blank_start]qualitative[blank_end] research where the researcher is often constructed as the [blank_start]human research instrument[blank_end].- Apreconceptions
- Bbias
- Cpositions
- Dvalid
- Eunderstandings
- Fknowing
- Greliability
- Hricher

86One way to foster reflexivity and reflexive research design [blank_start]is to[blank_end] report research perspectives, positions, values and beliefs in manuscripts and other publications. Many believe this is [blank_start]valuable[blank_end] and [blank_start]essential[blank_end] to briefly report in manuscripts, as best as possible, how one's preconceptions, beliefs, values, assumptions and position may have come into play during the research process.
- Ais to
- Bis not to
- Cvaluable
- Da waste of time
- Eessential
- Funnecessary
87Fostering reflexivity and good reflexive design includes only one researcher.
- AVerdadero
- BFalso
88A journal is a good way to foster reflexivity and encourage good reflexive research design.
- AVerdadero
- BFalso
89We construct meaning through interactions with others when
- Aface to face
- Binteracting with media
- CBoth face to face and interacting with the media
90[blank_start]Collectively[blank_end] held beliefs are an idea or notion that appears to be [blank_start]natural and obvious[blank_end] to people who [blank_start]accept[blank_end] it (war, beneficiaries, beauty). However, if they can be [blank_start]constructed[blank_end], they can be [blank_start]deconstructed[blank_end] (i.e. the term queer is now a matter of pride).
- ACollectively
- BIndividually
- Cnatural and obvious
- Dunnatural and illogical
- Eaccept
- Freject
- Gconstructed
- Hdeconstructed
91[blank_start]Positivist/experimental/quantitative[blank_end] research does tend to take a view that there is a single objective reality that exists “out there”. Technical competence of the researcher is all that matters.
[blank_start]Social construction/critical psychology[blank_end]: There are multiple socially constructed realities. I.e. 9/11 world trade centre, compared to a battery factory in India exploded where 5000 people died. Or the Alleppey Junta regime (1973). Research shaped by culture, class, gender, life experience of the researcher.- APositivist/experimental/quantitative
- BSocial construction/critical psychology
- CSocial construction/critical psychology
- DPositivist/experimental/quantitative
92In qualitative research, the researcher is the [blank_start]instrument[blank_end].
[blank_start]Reflexivity[blank_end] the process of a continual internal dialogue and critical self-evaluation of the researcher’s positionality.
Position in the field: Insiders or Outsiders. [blank_start]Insiders[blank_end] are generally favoured and don't have to make participants at ease. i.e. for tightly knit or religious communities. [blank_start]Outsiders[blank_end] can be good as they may have an objective view but have to get participants to feel at ease.- Ainstrument
