Godina (2004) explored the contradictory literacy practices of 10 high school students
of Mexican background from the rural
Midwest. Literacy is investigated through English and Spanish in a sociocultural context.
Findings reveal how Mexicanbackground students demonstrate different literacy
practices in their homes and communities than those acknowledged at school.
Results indicate that the lost opportunities for effective literacy learning at school
ignored the realistic responsibilities and potential of the Mexicanbackground students.
Ethnographic Research
Harmon (in Nieswiadomy, 2008) collected data from 8 nurses who were employed
between 1951 and 1965 in a Virginia state
hospital. These nurses were now retired and had between 12 and 46 years of
psychiatric nursing experience. The researcher
wanted to describe the experiences of these nurses who practiced in a state mental
hospital before and during the introduction of
antipsychotic medications. They expressed resignation and frustration while trying to
provide care despite crowded wards and
inadequate personnel and supplies. The nurses indicated that they focused on the
patient’s body instead of on the patient’s mind.
The camaraderie they experienced with other nurses helped them continue in their
positions, despite what they felt to be a
“thankless job.”

Daly (in Nieswiadomy, 2008) studied the lived experiences of mothers of suicidal
adolescents. She contended that, unfortunately,
the mother’s experience is often the hidden dimension in the family. Unstructured
interviews were conducted with 6 mothers living
with suicidal adolescents. Six themes were identified: failure as a good mother, the
ultimate rejection, feeling alone in the struggle,
helplessness and powerlessness in the struggle, cautious parenting, and keeping an
emotional distance.

Q: What are your views on homelessness?
A: Well, I think it’s a terrible thing that in a modern society we have a problem such as
this. I don’t know though what we can do
about it. I want to do something but I don’t know what. You are constantly reminded of
the problem if you go to town. They are
always there asking for money. You don’t know though if they really need it or if they
are in fact doing quite well from begging. But
if you have any caring qualities you can’t ignore requests for help, when you have so
much for yourself. They say a lot of people
choose to live on the streets – well I don’t believe that. I think that is an easy thing for
the authorities to say – it lets them off the
hook. So really I guess the answer to your questions is that I am not sure what to think
about homelessness. I feel that something
should be done but I feel powerless to do anything personally. I think that the time has
come for the government to do something.

Narrative Research
Williams and Irurita (in Nieswiadomy, 2008) studied the personal control and emotional
comfort of hospitalized patients.
Interviews were conducted with 40 patients, and 75 hours of field observations were
conducted. The basic psychological
process identified by the researchers was labeled “optimizing personal control to
facilitate emotional comfort.” Personal control
referred to the ability of patients to influence their environment; emotional comfort was
defined as a state of relaxation that
affected the physical status of the patient. Personal control was found to be a central
feature of emotional comfort.

Spradley (in Ryan and Bernard, 2003) recorded conversations among tramps at informal
gatherings, meals, card games, and
bull sessions. As the men talked to each other about their experiences, there were
many references to making a flop.
Spradley combed through his recorded material and notes looking for verbatim
statements made by informants about his
topic. On analyzing the statements, he found that most of the statements could fit into
subcategories such as kinds of flops,
ways to make flops, ways to make your own flop, kinds of people who bother you when
you flop, ways to make a bed, and
kinds of beds. Spradley then returned to his informants and sought additional
information from them on each of the
subcategories.

In a study of birth planning in China, Greenhalgh (in Ryan and Bernard, 2003) surveyed
1,011 evermarried women, gathered
social and economic histories from 150 families. She conducted indepth interviews with
present and formal officials (known as
cadres), and collected documentary evidence from local newspapers, journals and other
sources. Greenhalgh notes that "Because I was largely constrained from asking direct
questions about resistance, the informal record of field notes, interview transcripts, and
questionnaire data contains few overt challenges to state policy." Greenhalgh
concludes, however, that their conversations with the researchers, both peasants and
cadres made strategic use of silence to protest aspects of the policy they did not like.
Cadres, for example were loathe to comment on birthplanning campaigns; peasant
women were reluctant to talk about sterilization. These silences form one part of the
unofficial record of birth planning in the villages. More explicit protests were registered
in informal conversations. From these interactions emerged a sense of profound distress
of villagers forced to choose between a resistance that was politically risky and a
compliance that violated the norms of Chinese culture and of practical reason.

Bisogni, et. al. (2005) studied the conceptual understanding of how management of
food and eating is linked to life course events and
experiences. Individual qualitative interviews were conducting to adults in upstate New
York, particularly 14 men and 11 women with
moderate to low incomes. A conceptual model of food choice capacity emerged. Food
choice capacity represented participants'
confidence in meeting their standards for food and eating given their food management
skills and circumstances. Most participants had
faced challenging and changing circumstances (income, employment, social support,
roles, health conditions). Participants linked
strong food management skills with high levels of food choice capacity, except in the
case of extreme financial circumstances or the
absence of strong standards.

from a retired peoples’ organization, Church organizations, and from the working

experience of the ageing body has to do with a changed life world, reactions to this
change in terms of body and self, and finding ways
to feel at home in this changed situation.

Choose the most appropriate explanation to the meaning of the following quotation on
qualitative research.
“The major strength of qualitative approach is the depth to which explorations are
conducted, and descriptions are written, usually resulting in sufficient details for the
reader to grasp the idiosyncrasies of the situation.” – Myers
The correct answer is: The importance of context and meaning are the reasons to get
the depth of explorations in qualitative research. The setting of the problem and
multiple ways to get data from the locale will surely help the researcher to explain the
unexplainable.
Choose the most appropriate explanation to the meaning of the following quotation on
qualitative research.
“Formal symbolic representation of qualitative entities is doomed to its rightful place of
minor significance in a world where flowers and beautiful women abound.” Albert
Einstein
The correct answer is: Qualitative research is everyday life research. The issues to be
addressed are in the beautiful places where problems are least expected to arise such
as home, school, church, tourist spots, etc.
Choose the most appropriate explanation to the meaning of the following quotation on
qualitative research.
“The most important advances, the qualitative leaps, are the least predictable. Not even
the best scientists predicted the impact of nuclear physics, and everyday consumer
items such as the iPhone would have seemed magic back in the 1950s.” - Martin Rees
The correct answer is: The flexible design of qualitative research is illustrated in the
quotation since it can be modified from modern to conservative or vice-versa depending
on the need of the study. The skill set required of the researcher is the key to interpret
unpredictable findings.
“The worse thing that contemporary qualitative research can imply is that, in this post-
modern age, anything goes. The trick is to produce intelligent, disciplined work on the
very edge of the abyss.” ― David Silverman
The correct answer is: The messy analysis and inductive approach is the qualitative
characteristic describe in this quotation. It involves multilayered process which may
include anything but the inductive approach will shape the result into an intelligent and
disciplined work that will really make a difference.
The correct answer is: The unique capabilities of online and mobile qualitative research
can be under modern category and they are very much useful in qualitative research.

Harmon (in Nieswiadomy, 2008) collected data from 8 nurses who were employed
between 1951 and 1965 in a Virginia state hospital. These nurses were now retired and
had between 12 and 46 years of psychiatric nursing experience. The researcher wanted
to describe the experiences of these nurses who practiced in a state mental hospital
before and during the introduction of antipsychotic medications. They expressed
resignation and frustration while trying to provide care despite crowded wards and
inadequate personnel and supplies. The nurses indicated that they focused on the
patient’s body instead of on the patient’s mind. The camaraderie they experienced with
other nurses helped them continue in their positions, despite what they felt to be a
“thankless job.”
The correct answer is: Narrative Research
Williams and Irurita (in Nieswiadomy, 2008) studied the personal control and emotional
comfort of hospitalized patients. Interviews were conducted with 40 patients, and 75
hours of field observations were conducted. The basic psychological process identified
by the researchers was labeled “optimizing personal control to facilitate emotional
comfort.” Personal control referred to the ability of patients to influence their
environment; emotional comfort was defined as a state of relaxation that affected the
physical status of the patient. Personal control was found to be a central feature of
emotional comfort.
Godina (2004) explored the contradictory literacy practices of 10 high school students
of Mexican background from the rural Midwest. Literacy is investigated through English
and Spanish in a sociocultural context. Findings reveal how Mexican-background
students demonstrate different literacy practices in their homes and communities than
those acknowledged at school. Results indicate that the lost opportunities for effective
literacy learning at school ignored the realistic responsibilities and potential of the
Mexican-background students.
The correct answer is: high school students of Mexican background from the rural

Interview Segment
Q: What are your views on homelessness?
A: Well, I think it’s a terrible thing that in a modern society we have a problem such as
this. I don’t know though what we can do about it. I want to do something but I don’t
know what. You are constantly reminded of the problem if you go to town. They are
always there asking for money. You don’t know though if they really need it or if they
are in fact doing quite well from begging. But if you have any caring qualities you can’t
ignore requests for help, when you have so much for yourself. They say a lot of people
choose to live on the streets – well I don’t believe that. I think that is an easy thing for
the authorities to say – it lets them off the hook. So really I guess the answer to your
questions is that I am not sure what to think about homelessness. I feel that something
should be done but I feel powerless to do anything personally. I think that the time has
come for the government to do something. It makes me feel uncomfortable; I don’t
know what to do.

Bisogni, et. al. (2005) studied the conceptual understanding of how management of
food and eating is linked to life course events and experiences. Individual qualitative
interviews were conducting to adults in upstate New York, particularly 14 men and 11
women with moderate to low incomes. A conceptual model of food choice capacity
emerged. Food choice capacity represented participants' confidence in meeting their
standards for food and eating given their food management skills and circumstances.
Most participants had faced challenging and changing circumstances (income,
employment, social support, roles, health conditions). Participants linked strong food
management skills with high levels of food choice capacity, except in the case of
extreme financial circumstances or the absence of strong standards
Bullington (2005) investigated how older people (60+) experience the ageing body and
how these experiences affect aged peoples’ sense of identity. Explorative, open ended,
interviews were conducted with 13 respondents between the ages of 63 and 82,
recruited from a retired peoples’ organization, Church organizations, and from the
working population. The results showed that generally the experience of the ageing
body has to do with a changed life world, reactions to this change in terms of body and
self, and finding ways to feel at home in this changed situation.
Dunckley, Aspinal, Addington-Hall, Hughes, & Higginson (in Nieswiadomy, 2008) used
the staff in one hospice and one nursing home setting in London as their research data.
The purpose of the study was to identify facilitators and barriers to the use of the
Palliative Care Outcome Scale (POS). Staff took part in semi-structured interviews,
completed diaries, and participated in monthly meetings to give their opinions of what
they thought were the facilitators and barriers to the implementation of the POS.

Daly (in Nieswiadomy, 2008) studied the lived experiences of mothers of suicidal
adolescents. She contended that, unfortunately, the mother’s experience is often the
hidden dimension in the family. Unstructured interviews were conducted with 6 mothers
living with suicidal adolescents. Six themes were identified: failure as a good mother,
the ultimate rejection, feeling alone in the struggle, helplessness and powerlessness in
the struggle, cautious parenting, and keeping an emotional distance.

Adler (2003) examined the relationship of foreign language study and SAT Verbal
scores. Additionally, the study explored whether or not the number of years of foreign
language study had an impact on SAT verbal scores. The students involved were female
seniors at a private high school in suburban Maryland. It was hypothesized that there
would be no significant effect that the choice of foreign language study has on the
verbal score achieved on the SAT. This hypothesis was rejected because there was a
significant difference in SAT Verbal averages among the students of three different
foreign languages. French foreign language students outperformed Spanish and Latin
foreign language students.

Edwards (2007) explored the process of college men’s gender identity development. In
order to try to meet these expectations and be seen as men, participants described
putting on a performance that was like wearing a mask or “putting my man face on.”
This process included learning societal expectations of them as men, as well as specific
cultural group expectations. The men in this study were all aware that they did not
neatly fit behind the mask, either as a result of personal characteristics or social
identities. Their resulting insecurities led them to wearing the mask both consciously
and unconsciously so that they would be seen as men by society.

Naomi Quinn (in Ryan and Bernard, 2003) has analyzed hundreds of hours of interviews
to discover concepts underlying American marriage and to show how these concepts
are tied together. She began by looking at patterns of speech and at the repetition of
key words and phrases, paying particular attention to informants' use of metaphors and
the commonalities in their reasoning about marriage. Nan, one of her informants, says
that "marriage is a manufactured product." This popular metaphor indicates that Nan
sees marriages as something that has properties, like strength and staying power, and
as something that requires work to produce. Some marriages are "put together well,"
while others "fall apart" like so many cars or toys or washing machines.
The idea that themes represent the ways in which texts are either similar or different
from each other.
Look carefully at words and phrases that indicate relationships among things.
The object is to look for metaphors in rhetoric and deduce the schemas, or underlying
principles, that might produce patterns in those metaphors.
Sherzer (in Ryan and Bernard, 2003) presents a detailed analysis of a two-hour
performance by Chief Olopinikwa of a traditional San Blas Kuna chant. The chant was
recorded in 1970. Like many linguistic anthropologists, Sherzer had taught an assistant,
Alberto Campos, to use a phonetic transcription system. After the chant, Sherzer asked
Campos, to transcribe and translate the tape. Campos put Kuna and Spanish on left-
and right-facing pages. By studying Campos’s translation against the original Kuna,
Sherzer was able to pick out certain recurrent features. Campos left out the chanted
utterances of the responding chief (usually something like "so it is"), which turned out to
be markers for verse endings in the chant. Campos also left out so-called framing words
and phrases (like "Thus" at the beginning of a verse and "it is said, so I pronounce" at
the end of a verse). These contribute to the line and verse structure of the chant.
Finally, "instead of transposing metaphors and other figurative and allusive language
into Spanish" Campos "explains them in his translation".
Another linguistic approach is to look for naturally occurring shifts in thematic content.
In a study of birth planning in China, Greenhalgh (in Ryan and Bernard, 2003) surveyed
1,011 ever-married women, gathered social and economic histories from 150 families.
She conducted in-depth interviews with present and formal officials (known as cadres),
and collected documentary evidence from local newspapers, journals and other sources.
Greenhalgh notes that "Because I was largely constrained from asking direct questions
about resistance, the informal record of field notes, interview transcripts, and
questionnaire data contains few overt challenges to state policy." Greenhalgh
concludes, however, that their conversations with the researchers, both peasants and
cadres made strategic use of silence to protest aspects of the policy they did not like.
Cadres, for example were loathe to comment on birth-planning campaigns; peasant
women were reluctant to talk about sterilization. These silences form one part of the
unofficial record of birth planning in the villages. More explicit protests were registered
in informal conversations. From these interactions emerged a sense of profound distress
of villagers forced to choose between a resistance that was politically risky and a
compliance that violated the norms of Chinese culture and of practical reason.
Results rely heavily on words, and often quotations from those studied are included in

-Q: What are your views on homelessness? A: Well, I think it’s a terrible thing that in
a modern society we have a problem such as this. I don’t know though what we can
do about it. I want to do something but I don’t know what. You are constantly
reminded of the problem if you go to town. They are always there asking for money.
You don’t know though if they really need it or if they are in fact doing quite well
from begging. But if you have any caring qualities you can’t ignore requests for
help, when you have so much for yourself. They say a lot of people choose to live on
the streets – well I don’t believe that. I think that is an easy thing for the authorities
to say – it lets them off the hook. So really I guess the answer to your questions is
that I am not sure what to think about homelessness. I feel that something should
be done but I feel powerless to do anything personally. I think that the time has
come for the government to do something. It makes me feel uncomfortable; I don’t

wards and inadequate personnel and supplies. The nurses indicated that they
focused on the patient’s body instead of on the patient’s mind. The camaraderie
they experienced with other nurses helped them continue in their positions, despite
