Document Summary

Reactivity: the problem that the subjects of social research may react to the fact of being studied, thus altering behavioral from what it would have been normally. Expel the researcher, modify their speech and behavior to appear more respectable, social process itself might be radically changed. Emic perspective: taking on the point of view of those being studied. Etic perspective: maintains distance from the native point of view in the interest of achieving more objectivity. Epistemological: having to do with what the data mean. Old tradition in qualitative research: based on the assumption that an objective social reality exists and can be observed and reported accurately. Ethnography: a report on social life that focuses on detailed and accurate description rather than explanation. Ethnographic fallacy: overgeneralization and oversimplification of the patterns observed.
