İsim Ne Söyler: Nitel Bir Araştırma
İsim Ne Söyler: Nitel Bir Araştırma
The article was prepared by Yağmur Saklı Demirbaş and Faruk Gençöz. The question of the
research is "Does the name play a role in the shaping of life, what are its effects?" The reason
for the research was to interpret how names affect our lives.
Participants in the study were selected from Middle East Technical University students. 6
people who knew the stories of their names were chosen. Data were analyzed with the
Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis method. IPA is the method used to understand what
the participant is thinking and feeling. Data were collected by asking participants about the
stories and meanings of their names. After the interview with the participants, 4 themes were
extracted by comparison.
The strong point of the article may be useful for further research. People who are researching,
interested in, wanting to change their name, or wondering about its story can examine the
study. People may question and reflect on their own name while reading the research. And in
fact, research was presented to help children understand how important it is to be named, that
they should have the freedom to change it whenever they want, that the family should react
consciously in this situation. It makes sense for people to be university graduates because now
they will be in a position to know that they have reached a certain level of maturity, so they
can associate it with the essence of their names.
We can say that the weak point of the article is the small number of participants and the
participation of only Middle East Technical University students. However, since the number
of samples should be small in the IPA method and this should be the case in qualitative
research, it is said that under-sampling was used. Therefore, the study is not suitable for
generalization. It was not intended to increase the number of participants, but a few more
participants with the same name could have been found and compared. It is a weak point for
this study as it may be normal for people to think that the name given to them is
psychologically identified with them because it is not their choice. The other weakness is to
listen to the story of the name from a single person. Because there is also the possibility that
the story is not told, forgotten or told by skipping.
