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.

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

them on each of the
subcategories.

meet again until they were 39. When they met, they found out the following: Springer’s first

wife, Betty. Lewis has also had a wife named Betty and one named Linda. Each had a son
named
James Allen. Each had owned a
dog named Toy. Their favorite subject in high school had been math. They had both studied
law
enforcement after high school.

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 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.

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.

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.
Qualitative design is messy because it involves multi-layered processes.
The correct answer is: True
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.
Online and mobile technology offer limited enhancements to qualitative research designs.

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.
The correct answer is: Grounded Theory Research

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 Midwest
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

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.

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.

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".
The correct answer is: transitions
Another linguistic approach is to look for naturally occurring shifts in thematic content.
The correct answer is: Transitions
It is based on a simple observation: if you want to understand a concept, then look at how it

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.

-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. Source: Grbich (2013)
The homeless are stereotyping their social conditions to beg for money. Answer: False
-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.”
