This document provides guidance for novice researchers on conducting qualitative interviews. It discusses three common interview designs: informal conversational interviews, general interview guides, and standardized open-ended interviews. For each, it provides examples and discusses strengths and weaknesses. The document also offers suggestions for preparing, constructing questions, implementing interviews, and interpreting the collected data to analyze themes. The overall guidance is to thoroughly plan and prepare interviews, ask open-ended questions, and get feedback to reduce bias when analyzing responses.
The document provides an overview of key concepts in research design, including worldviews, strategies of inquiry, methods, literature reviews, variables, sampling, validity, reliability, experiments, qualitative methods, coding, and strategies for ensuring qualitative reliability and validity. It defines important terminology such as independent and dependent variables, intervening variables, moderating variables, control variables, confounding variables, and sampling terms. It also briefly describes purposes statements, research questions, hypotheses, and types of experiments and qualitative research.
Operationalization is the process of defining abstract concepts as measurable variables. It involves translating concepts into concrete, observable actions or measures that can be quantified. The key steps are:
1. Formulating concepts into variables by linking concepts to specific aspects that can be measured.
2. Defining variables operationally by specifying exactly how they will be measured through specific dimensions, elements, or empirical observations.
3. Linking variables to instruments that will capture the data needed to study them, such as surveys, experiments, or tests.
By precisely defining and measuring variables, operationalization increases the rigor and reproducibility of research. It allows concepts to be studied systematically and results to be more robustly analyzed and compared across
This document discusses formal and informal interviews. It defines an interview as a conversation between two people where one person seeks information from the other for employment purposes. Formal interviews involve set questions, while informal interviews are more casual without fixed questions. Characteristics of interviews include they involve strangers, have a start and end, and involve verbal questions for answers. The document provides guidelines for effective interviews such as maintaining professionalism and asking questions to learn about the company.
1) Surveys involve asking a sample of individuals questions to gather information about what a larger population thinks or does.
2) The main purpose of surveys is to describe the characteristics of a population based on data collected from a sample.
3) There are two main types of surveys - cross-sectional surveys which collect information from a sample at one point in time, and longitudinal surveys which collect information from the same sample at different points over time to study changes.
This document discusses operationalizing variables and concepts for research. It begins by defining an operational definition as specifying how a concept can be measured through specific dimensions and elements.
As an example, it operationalizes the concept of achievement motivation through 5 dimensions: driven by work, inability to relax, impatience with ineffectiveness, seeking moderate challenges, and seeking feedback. Each dimension is then further defined by potential elements that could be measured, such as number of working hours, hobbies, and frequency of obtaining feedback.
It notes that an operational definition should specify quantifiable measures and not simply describe correlates of a concept. The document also provides examples of potential dimensions for operationalizing the concept of race discrimination, such as performance

This document provides an introduction to qualitative research. It discusses two paradigms of research methodologies - logical positivism and phenomenological inquiry. Qualitative research involves collecting and analyzing non-numerical data to understand concepts, opinions, or experiences. Common qualitative research approaches include grounded theory, ethnography, action research, phenomenological research, and narrative research. Data collection methods may include observations, interviews, focus groups, surveys, and secondary research. Analysis involves preparing, exploring, coding, and identifying themes in the data. Qualitative research has advantages like flexibility, studying natural settings, and generating meaningful insights, but also disadvantages such as unreliability, subjectivity, and limited generalizability.
This document outlines the key aspects of survey research. It defines a survey, explains why surveys are used, and describes the characteristics and steps involved in survey research. It discusses tools for surveys such as interviews and questionnaires. It also covers survey research designs like cross-sectional and longitudinal studies.

The document summarizes a study that surveyed 130 newly admitted undergraduate teacher education students about their views on parent involvement in education. The survey aimed to understand students' memories of their own families' school involvement and how they conceptualize the roles of parents and teachers. It found that students viewed parent knowledge as long-term and individual while teacher knowledge was seen as professional and unbiased. Students anticipated doing more school-based parent involvement like conferences rather than community activities. The authors advocate giving greater attention to families in teacher education programs.

It also discusses triangulation strategies and other mixed methods approaches like sequential or concurrent designs.
Types of Research Design for Social Scienceskryzedj
This document discusses four main types of research designs used in social sciences: descriptive research, explanatory research, experimental research, and case study research. Descriptive research involves describing characteristics or behaviors without looking for causes. Explanatory research seeks to determine why certain behaviors or outcomes occur by developing causal explanations. Experimental research tests hypotheses by manipulating variables and controlling for other factors. Case study research examines a single instance of a phenomenon in depth within its real-life context. The document also discusses longitudinal research designs including trend studies, cohort studies, and panel studies which involve repeated observations over time. It concludes by explaining cross-sectional research which collects data across a population at a single point in time.
This document discusses the concept of validity in psychological testing and research. It provides definitions of validity from authoritative sources like the American Psychological Association. It distinguishes between different types of validity like construct validity, content validity, criterion validity, predictive validity, concurrent validity, and experimental validity which includes statistical conclusion validity, internal validity, external validity, and ecological validity. The relationships between these types of validity are explored in depth through multiple examples and implications. The document emphasizes that validity is based on evidence and theory and concerns the appropriate interpretation and use of test scores rather than a test itself. It is an important concept to ensure research methods accurately measure the constructs they are intended to measure.

Burns prevention program in Mumbai by Dr. Sunil Keswani, National Burns Centr...NationalBurnsCentre2000
This document discusses burns prevention in India. It notes that India records 70 lakh burn injury cases annually, with 1.4 lakh deaths per year mostly among women and children aged 15-35. 80% of cases are due to kitchen accidents. Treatment is very expensive, impacting low-income families. Primary prevention through education is key to reducing burns and associated costs. Factors that increase burn risk include unsafe stoves, wiring, and living in overcrowded or low-income areas. A national burns prevention program is needed along with increased funding, data collection, and awareness campaigns targeting schools, communities, and workplaces to teach prevention methods.
The document discusses different types of interviews that can be used for research data collection. It describes personal interviews, telephone interviews, focus group interviews, depth interviews, and projective techniques. Personal interviews involve face-to-face communication between an interviewer and respondent. They are generally structured with questions planned in advance. Telephone interviews collect information by asking respondents questions over the phone. Focus group interviews involve a moderator leading a discussion among a small group of respondents. Depth interviews are nondirective and give respondents freedom to answer openly. Projective techniques indirectly reveal responses through interpretation of ambiguous objects or activities.

Emil Pulido on Qualitative Research: Analyzing Qualitative DataEmilEJP
There are no set formulas or steps for analyzing and interpreting qualitative research data. The main goals are to summarize the collected data accurately and find meaning within the data. When analyzing qualitative data, researchers should explore all possible perspectives to identify patterns and new understandings. Suggested steps include becoming familiar with the data, identifying themes, describing findings, categorizing and coding data, and looking for themes. Computer software can help with data storage and manipulation but does not replace the researcher's analysis abilities. Strategies for interpretation include extending the analysis, connecting findings to experiences, seeking advice, contextualizing within literature, and linking to theory. Researchers should ensure the credibility of interpretations by considering factors like observation reliability and potential biases.

Interviewing techniques for research by jayadeva de silvaSelf-employed
Structured interviews have a set list of questions asked in the same order to all respondents. This allows for standardized, quantifiable responses but limits flexibility. Semi-structured interviews follow a general outline but allow elaboration. Unstructured interviews are open conversations that generate rich qualitative data but are difficult to analyze systematically. The type of interview chosen depends on the goal of obtaining standardized or customized responses within the needed time and resources.
ReseQuantitative RESEARCH INSTRUMENT FOR DATA COLLECTIONarch ppIqra Shah
Structured questionnaires and interviews are quantitative research instruments used to collect data. Structured questionnaires contain closed-ended questions with limited response options to standardize responses. They allow researchers to collect large amounts of data efficiently but don't explore complex issues well. Structured interviews follow a standardized set of questions but allow researchers to clarify understanding and obtain more detailed responses than questionnaires. Both methods produce reliable and comparable quantitative data but have limitations regarding response bias and depth of responses.
This document discusses effective interview techniques for obtaining information. It identifies several skills effective interviewers employ, such as preparing well by defining the purpose, setting appropriate expectations with the interviewee, choosing relevant topics to cover, structuring questions clearly, and probing for clarification when needed. Interviewers should also be aware of potential sources of error or bias and how to mitigate them, such as through question wording or sequencing. With practice, interviewers can improve their skills at conducting interviews that obtain full and accurate information from respondents.

An interview is a directed conversation between an interviewer and interviewee where the interviewer's goal is to elicit specific information from the interviewee. Interviews can be conducted in-person, by phone, or online, and can be either standardized using set questions or open-ended allowing flexibility. There are three main types of interviews - structured interviews use a fixed set of questions in a predetermined order, unstructured interviews have no set questions or order, and semi-structured interviews combine some set questions with flexibility to ask others. The type of interview used depends on the needs and goals of the research.

Abstract
In the research article,Interviewing Witness, the context informed about the critical elements that determines the success of a witness interview. The purpose of this research was to emphasis on the many aspects that should be examined when conducting an interview with a witness. These aspects often should be noted both before and during the interview process. The study indicated that preparations made beforehand plays a crucial role in the success and the overall gain of the interview. The study examined how both the interviewer’s and the interviewee’s behaviors can place impact on the overall results of the interview through direct or indirect ways. Furthermore, the experiments also examined the actions carried by the interviewee after the process of interviewing. These actions can also place a significant impacts on the success of the interviewing process. By inspecting those different aspects, considering these findings can help in more efficient interviewing processes within the criminal justice area in the future.
Discussion and Analysis of Interviewing Witness
Research Design and Methods
With several interviewers as the test subjects, they were assigned to interview a group of audience through distinct strategic approaches. Those interviewers followed the provided guidelines to interview and see the degree of effectiveness on their ways approaches of interviewing. Interviewer One (Alpha) was being told to interview a targeted individual on a random given subject. Interviewer Alpha was not informed on any background information of the interviewed witness. Nor did Interviewer Alpha was informed of any information about similar cases from the past. Throughout the interviewing session, Interviewer Alpha was told to interview only through a closed question method. This means that the questions were asked in a format that can be only answered with yes or no. After the interviewing session, Interviewer Alpha was asked to take a lunch break for an hour, before writing down the information he learned from the interview. Interviewer Beta’s interviewing method was totally different from Interviewer Alpha’s. Interviewer Beta was informed of what kind of targeted individual she would be interviewing. Interviewer Beta also received a generalized profile regarding the interviewed target. During the interviewing session, Interviewer Beta was encouraged to ask open-ended questions. This meant that the interviewee often answered questions through a more in-depth approach. Then, Interviewer Beta was asked to write down what she learned immediately after the interviewing session has ended.
Research Results
The result shown indicated that Interviewer Alpha’s interviewing success was a lot lower than Interviewer Beta’s. Due to that Interviewer Alpha did not have an overall idea of what kind of identity she was going to interview, she wasn’t able to come up with any questions that were relevant to the subject. As.

This document provides guidance on conducting qualitative interviews. It notes that interviews should only be included in research design if alternative methods won't work. The goal of qualitative interviews is to let respondents tell their own stories in their own words. Interview guides should be simple prompts to cover topics rather than rigid scripts. Successful interviewers are knowledgeable, structure the interview well, ask clear and simple questions, listen attentively, are flexible and follow up on new information from respondents rather than rigidly following the interview guide. Both the social and ethical aspects of interviews are important to consider.

Qualitative Interview Design:
A Practical Guide for Novice Investigators
Daniel W. Turner, III
Nova Southeastern University, Fort Lauderdale, Florida USA
Qualitative research design can be complicated depending upon the level
of experience a researcher may have with a particular type of
methodology. As researchers, many aspire to grow and expand their
knowledge and experiences with qualitative design in order to better
utilize diversified research paradigms for future investigations. One of the
more popular areas of interest in qualitative research design is that of the
interview protocol. Interviews provide in-depth information pertaining to
participants' experiences and viewpoints of a particular topic. Often
times, interviews are coupled with other forms of data collection in order
to provide the researcher with a well-rounded collection of information
for analyses. This paper explores the effective ways to conduct in-depth,
qualitative interviews for novice investigators by employing a step-by-step
process for implementation. Key Words: Informal Conversational
Interview, General Interview Guide, and Open-Ended Interviews
Qualitative research design can be complicated depending upon the level of
experience a researcher may have with a particular type of methodology. As researchers,
many aspire to grow and expand their knowledge and experiences with qualitative design
in order to better utilize a variety of research paradigms. One of the more popular areas
of interest in qualitative research design is that of the interview protocol. Interviews
provide in-depth information pertaining to participants' experiences and viewpoints of a
particular topic. Often times, interviews are coupled with other forms of data collection in
order to provide the researcher with a well-rounded collection of information for
analyses. This paper explores the effective ways to conduct in-depth, qualitative
interviews for novice investigators by expanding upon the practical components of each
interview design.
Categories of Qualitative Interview Design
As common with quantitative analyses, there are various forms of interview
design that can be developed to obtain thick, rich data utilizing a qualitative
investigational perspective (Creswell, 2007). For the purpose of this examination, there
are three formats for interview design that will be explored which are summarized by
Gall, Gall, and Borg (2003): (a) informal conversational interview, (b) general interview
guide approach, and (c) standardized open-ended interview. In addition, I will expand on
some suggestions for conducting qualitative interviews which includes the construction
of research questions as well as the analysis of interview data. These suggestions come
from both my personal experiences with interviewing as well as the recommendations
from the literature to assist novice interviewers.
2. Daniel W. Turner, III 755
Informal Conversational Interview
The informal conversational interview is outlined by Gall, Gall, and Borg (2003)
for the purpose of relying "...entirely on the spontaneous generation of questions in a
natural interaction, typically one that occurs as part of ongoing participant observation
fieldwork" (p. 239). I am curious when it comes to other cultures or religions and I enjoy
immersing myself in these environments as an active participant. I ask questions in order
to learn more about these social settings without having a predetermined set of structured
questions. Primarily the questions come from "in the moment experiences" as a means
for further understanding or clarification of what I am witnessing or experiencing at a
particular moment. With the informal conversational approach, the researcher does not
ask any specific types of questions, but rather relies on the interaction with the
participants to guide the interview process (McNamara, 2008). Think of this type of
interview as an "off the top of your head" style of interview where you really construct
questions as you move forward. Many consider this type of interview beneficial because
of the lack of structure, which allows for flexibility in the nature of the interview.
However, many researchers view this type of interview as unstable or unreliable because
of the inconsistency in the interview questions, thus making it difficult to code data
(Creswell, 2007). If you choose to conduct an informal conversational interview, it is
critical to understand the need for flexibility and originality in the questioning as a key
for success.
General Interview Guide Approach
The general interview guide approach is more structured than the informal
conversational interview although there is still quite a bit of flexibility in its composition
(Gall, Gall, & Borg, 2003). The ways that questions are potentially worded depend upon
the researcher who is conducting the interview. Therefore, one of the obvious issues with
this type of interview is the lack of consistency in the way research questions are posed
because researchers can interchange the way he or she poses them. With that in mind, the
respondents may not consistently answer the same question(s) based on how they were
posed by the interviewer (McNamara, 2008). During research for my doctoral
dissertation, I was able to interact with alumni participants in a relaxed and informal
manner where I had the opportunity to learn more about the in-depth experiences of the
participants through structured interviews. This informal environment allowed me the
opportunity to develop rapport with the participants so that I was able to ask follow-up or
probing questions based on their responses to pre-constructed questions. I found this
quite useful in my interviews because I could ask questions or change questions based on
participant responses to previous questions. The questions were structured, but adapting
them allowed me to explore a more personal approach to each alumni interview.
According to McNamara (2009), the strength of the general interview guide
approach is the ability of the researcher "...to ensure that the same general areas of
information are collected from each interviewee; this provides more focus than the
conversational approach, but still allows a degree of freedom and adaptability in getting
information from the interviewee" (Types of Interviews section, para. 1). The researcher
remains in the driver's seat with this type of interview approach, but flexibility takes
3. 756 The Qualitative Report May 2010
precedence based on perceived prompts from the participants. You might ask, "What
does this mean anyway?" The easiest way to answer that question is to think about your
own personal experiences at a job interview. When you were invited to a job interview in
the past, you might have prepared for all sorts of curve ball-style questions to come your
way. You desired an answer for every potential question. If the interviewer were asking
you questions using a general interview guide approach, he or she would ask questions
using their own unique style, which might differ from the way the questions were
originally created. You as the interviewee would then respond to those questions in the
manner in which the interviewer asked which would dictate how the interview continued.
Based on how the interviewer asked the question(s), you might have been able to answer
more information or less information than that of other job candidates. Therefore, it is
easy to see how this could positively or negatively influence a job candidate if the
interviewer were using a general interview guide approach.
Standardized Open-Ended Interviews
The standardized open-ended interview is extremely structured in terms of the
wording of the questions. Participants are always asked identical questions, but the
questions are worded so that responses are open-ended (Gall, Gall, & Borg, 2003). This
open-endedness allows the participants to contribute as much detailed information as they
desire and it also allows the researcher to ask probing questions as a means of follow-up.
Standardized open-ended interviews are likely the most popular form of interviewing
utilized in research studies because of the nature of the open-ended questions, allowing
the participants to fully express their viewpoints and experiences. If one were to identify
weaknesses with open-ended interviewing, they would likely identify the difficulty with
coding the data (Creswell, 2007). Since open-ended interviews in composition call for
participants to fully express their responses in as much detail as desired, it can be quite
difficult for researchers to extract similar themes or codes from the interview transcripts
as they would with less open-ended responses. Although the data provided by
participants are rich and thick with qualitative data, it can be a more cumbersome process
for the researcher to sift through the narrative responses in order to fully and accurately
reflect an overall perspective of all interview responses through the coding process.
However, according to Gall, Gall, and Borg (2003), this reduces researcher biases within
the study, particularly when the interviewing process involves many participants.
Suggestions for Conducting Qualitative Interviews
Now that we know a few of the more popular interview designs that are available
to qualitative researchers, we can more closely examine various suggestions for
conducting qualitative interviews based on the available research. These suggestions are
designed to provide the researcher with the tools needed to conduct a well constructed,
professional interview with their participants. Some of the most common information
found within the literature relating to interviews, according to Creswell (2003; 2007)
includes (a) the preparation for the interview, (b) the constructing effective research
questions, and (c) the actual implementation of the interview(s).

Preparation for the Interview
757
Probably the most helpful tip with the interview process is that of interview
preparation. This process can help make or break the process and can either alleviate or
exacerbate the problematic circumstances that could potentially occur once the research
is implemented. McNamara (2009) suggests the importance of the preparation stage in
order to maintain an unambiguous focus as to how the interviews will be erected in order
to provide maximum benefit to the proposed research study. Along these lines Chenail
(2009) provides a number of pre-interview exercises researchers can use to improve their
instrumentality and address potential biases. McNamara (2009) applies eight principles to
the preparation stage of interviewing which includes the following ingredients: (1)
choose a setting with little distraction; (2) explain the purpose of the interview; (3)
address terms of confidentiality; (4) explain the format of the interview; (5) indicate how
long the interview usually takes; (6) tell them how to get in touch with you later if they
want to; (7) ask them if they have any questions before you both get started with the
interview; and (8) don't count on your memory to recall their answers (Preparation for
Interview section, para. 1).
Selecting participants.
Creswell (2007) discusses the importance of selecting the appropriate candidates
for interviews. He asserts that the researcher should utilize one of the various types of
sampling strategies such as criterion based sampling or critical case sampling (among
many others) in order to obtain qualified candidates that will provide the most credible
information to the study. Creswell also suggests the importance of acquiring participants
who will be willing to openly and honestly share information or "their story" (p. 133). It
might be easier to conduct the interviews with participants in a comfortable environment
where the participants do not feel restricted or uncomfortable to share information.
Pilot testing.
Another important element to the interview preparation is the implementation of a
pilot test. The pilot test will assist the research in determining if there are flaws,
limitations, or other weaknesses within the interview design and will allow him or her to
make necessary revisions prior to the implementation of the study (Kvale, 2007). A pilot
test should be conducted with participants that have similar interests as those that will
participate in the implemented study. The pilot test will also assist the researchers with
the refinement of research questions, which will be discussed in the next section.
Constructing Effective Research Questions
Creating effective research questions for the interview process is one of the most
crucial components to interview design. Researchers desiring to conduct such an
investigation should be careful that each of the questions will allow the examiner to dig
dip into the experiences and/or knowledge of the participants in order to gain maximum
data from the interviews. McNamara (2009) suggests several recommendations for
5. 758 The Qualitative Report May 2010
creating effective research questions for interviews which includes the following
elements: (a) wording should be open-ended (respondents should be able to choose their
own terms when answering questions); (b) questions should be as neutral as possible
(avoid wording that might influence answers, e.g., evocative, judgmental wording); (c)
questions should be asked one at a time; (d) questions should be worded clearly (this
includes knowing any terms particular to the program or the respondents' culture); and (e)
be careful asking "why" questions (Wording of Questions section, para.1).
Examples of useful and not so useful research questions.
To assist the novice interviewer with the preparation of research questions, I will
propose a useful research question and a not so useful research question. Based on
McNamara's (2009) suggestion, it is important to ask an open-ended question. So for the
useful question, I will propose the following: "How have your experiences as a
kindergarten teacher influenced or not influenced you in the decisions that you have
made in raising your children"? As you can see, the question allows the respondent to
discuss how his or her experiences as a kindergarten teacher have or have not affected
their decision-making with their own children without making the assumption that the
experience has influenced their decision-making. On the other hand, if you were to ask a
similar question, but from a less than useful perspective, you might construct the same
question in this manner: "How has your experiences as a kindergarten teacher affected
you as a parent"? As you can see, the question is still open-ended, but it makes the
assumption that the experiences have indeed affected them as a parent. We as the
researcher cannot make this assumption in the wording of our questions.
Follow-up questions.
Creswell (2007) also makes the suggestion of being flexible with research
questions being constructed. He makes the assertion that respondents in an interview will
not necessarily answer the question being asked by the researcher and, in fact, may
answer a question that is asked in another question later in the interview. Creswell
believes that the researcher must construct questions in such a manner to keep
participants on focus with their responses to the questions. In addition, the researcher
must be prepared with follow-up questions or prompts in order to ensure that they obtain
optimal responses from participants. When I was an Assistant Director for a large
division at my University a couple of years ago, I was tasked with the responsibility of
hiring student affairs coordinators at our off-campus educational centers. Throughout the
interviewing process, I found that interviewees did indeed get off topic with certain
questions because they either misunderstood the question(s) being asked or did not wish
to answer the question(s) directly. I was able to utilize Creswell's (2007) suggestion by
reconstructing questions so that they were clearly assembled in a manner to reduce
misunderstanding and was able to erect effective follow-up prompts to further
understanding. This alleviated many of the problems I had and assisted me in extracting
the information I needed from the interview through my follow-up questioning.

Implementation of Interviews
As with other sections of interview design, McNamara (2009) makes some
excellent recommendations for the implementation stage of the interview process. He
includes the following tips for interview implementation: (a) occasionally verify the tape
recorder (if used) is working; (b) ask one question at a time; (c) attempt to remain as
neutral as possible (that is, don't show strong emotional reactions to their responses; (d)
encourage responses with occasional nods of the head, "uh huh"s, etc.; (e) be careful
about the appearance when note taking (that is, if you jump to take a note, it may appear
as if you're surprised or very pleased about an answer, which may influence answers to
future questions); (f) provide transition between major topics, e.g., "we've been talking
about (some topic) and now I'd like to move on to (another topic);" (g) don't lose control
of the interview (this can occur when respondents stray to another topic, take so long to
answer a question that times begins to run out, or even begin asking questions to the
interviewer) (Conducting Interview section, para 1).
Interpreting Data
The final constituent in the interview design process is that of interpreting the data
that was gathered during the interview process. During this phase, the researcher must
make "sense" out of what was just uncovered and compile the data into sections or
groups of information, also known as themes or codes (Creswell, 2003, 2007). These
themes or codes are consistent phrases, expressions, or ideas that were common among
research participants (Kvale, 2007). How the researcher formulates themes or codes
vary. Many researchers suggest the need to employ a third party consultant who can
review codes or themes in order to determine the quality and effectiveness based on their
evaluation of the interview transcripts (Creswell, 2007). This helps alleviate researcher
biases or potentially eliminate where over-analyzing of data has occurred. Many
researchers may choose to employ an iterative review process where a committee of non-
participating researchers can provide constructive feedback and suggestions to the
researcher(s) primarily involved with the study.
Conclusion
From choosing the appropriate type of interview design process through the
interpretation of interview data, this guide for conducting qualitative research interviews
proposes a practical way to perform an investigation based on the recommendations and
experiences of qualified researchers in the field and through my own personal
experiences. Although qualitative investigation provides a myriad of opportunities for
conducting investigational research, interview design has remained one of the more
popular forms of analyses. As the variety of qualitative research methods become more
widely utilized across research institutions, we will continue to see more practical guides
for protocol implementation outlined in peer reviewed journals across the world.
