Manifest meaning surface and apparent (leather jacket, black, silver snaps) Latent meaning suggestive, connotative, subtextual (trendy, criminal fun) Deductive reasoning: how might factors affect teacher satisfaction? (theory then collecting data to support or refute a hypothesis) Inductive reasoning: what qualities describe a good teacher? (collect and analyze data first, doesn"t come up with a theory, lets the theory emerge) Culture norms, patterns, routines, beliefs, associations, connotations of a particular community/society (food and eating patterns, attitudes and perceptions about weight and health, smoking) Ethical tenants- do no harm, voluntary consent, avoid deception.
