Document Summary
Mindlessness: almost always in the story in our head, ruminating on the past or worrying about the future, missing out on what is around us. The growing pains project: a unique peer-to-peer research study explore stress and coping among university students. Overall framework: research data, secondary data, primary data, qualitative data, exploration, description, quantitative data, cause and effect. Qualitative vs quantitative: not the opposite of each other, each has value and makes an important contribution to health research. Important to understand the strengths and limitations of each: quantitative is numbers, qualitative is word based and thoughts. All research is guided by our worldview: your beliefs and values, the way we think about the world, also called paradigm, what contributes to your worldview, environment, living conditions, parents experiences, media, personal experiences, friends. Paradigm continuum: positivism, quantitative, post-positivism, constructivism, qualitative, critical theory, middle is called post-modernism. Qualitative methodology: narrative study, phenomenological study, grounded theory study, ethnographic study, case study.
