Document Summary
Qualitative research can encompass a wide variety of different experiences and settings. It is important for determining more complicated information about subjects. Widows when studied quantitatively would express how often in numbers they saw their children: researchers would also assume that this was a measure of well being even though it may not be for others. Sees research subjects as participants instead of as subjects. Qualitative researchers use qualitative research skills everyday such as being more aware of their surroundings: fascination with everyday routines resulting in constant analytical thinking. Can be collaborative from the researcher/interviewee because from the story constructing itself over time. May shed light on individuals about how they see themselves. Can be more than just interviews such as observations, documents and pictures. Can be analyzed: thematically about what was said, structural nature of the telling of the story, dialogic/performance who the story is directed towards.
