Document Summary
Political science 3n06 2013 lecture 8a field research. However, both structured and unstructured interviewing rely on a somewhat artificial social. Interviewing is one type of method that can reveal how people see the world context for exploring the lived reality of interviewees. The interview is itself a social context one that generates answers that are not necessarily generalizable to other social contexts. So for maximum ecological validity: to develop a naturalistic understanding of social life. Social spaces; real world is characterized by things that we do not see in the interview context; Key principle underpinning field research is naturalism: understanding social behaviour in its natural environment, imf policy documents; understand the area that they"re created in, understanding behaviour and social dynamics as they actually occur rather than artificial environments; Field research involves going out into the field and undertaking direct research. Using your senses sight, smell, touch, and hearing - to observe the world around you.
