Clear Research Question

These often start with what or how, should be open, exploratory, and focused on discovering meaning.

Looks at behavior and beliefs from the inside, focusing on how participants themselves understand their world. The etic perspective looks from the outside, using data and analysis to describe patterns objectively.

Multiple Constructed Realities

Each person experiences and interprets the world differently. Every participant’s unique perspective creates their own version of reality (constructed reality).

Researcher as Instrument

The qualitative researcher is the main tool for collecting and interpreting data. Their perspectives, values, and interactions shape how meaning and context are understood.

Conveys the meaning in a qualitative study and is where the data truly lives. It goes beyond surface details to provide depth, context, and emotion so the story can fully be heard and understood.
