What is qualitative research (thick description of a phenomena and what they mean) If you want to know why they behave in a certain way. When to use it depends on what you want to know. We don"t know enough about the phenomena. But in qualitative research we look at. Investigate all aspects of the thick description of the phenomena. People cannot be reduced to isolated variables = naturalist. Exploring and preparation for a more complex statistical data research. The assumption is that the connection will always be there. Social interaction may also have indication for the connection of consumption. Anthropology: ethnography invented the notion of thick description.
