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 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.

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
Godina (2004) explored the contradictory literacy practices of 10 high school students of Mexican

indicate that the lost opportunities for effective literacy learning at school ignored the realistic
responsibilities and potential of the Mexican-background students.

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.

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

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

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.
The correct answer is: 6 mothers living with suicidal adolescents
Gance-Cleveland (in Nieswiadomy, 2008) examined the features, critical attributes, processes, and

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 correct answer is: metaphors and analogies

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 is used.

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 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)

-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.”
