Robert Sutton's Three-Month Qualitative Study Of Data

Selecting a qualitative research design best suits the outline of our intended study. As we are wanting to investigate the perceived harms of e-cigarettes by users and non-users this design will compliment the data we are looking to obtain. Within the qualitative design we have selected phenomenology as our specific design. The object of this study is to focus on the beliefs and experiences of the participants. This will be accomplished through the phenomenological research design. An interpretive approach will allow the researcher’s an opportunity to draw conclusions and gain a further understanding of the individuals experiences related to e-cigarettes.

To collect data for check sheet you have to determine what event or issue will be examined and then you will create operational definitions. Then we will determine when the data will be collected and gathered and for how long. From here, we will create the form and the form will be laid out to where the data can be recorded easily by making check or tally marks. All the spaces should be labeled on the form. The check sheet should then be tested for a brief trial period just to make sure it gathers the correct data and is easy to access and utilize. Whenever the targeted event or issue takes place, the data should be entered in on the check sheet (Check Sheet, n.d.).

Business researchers utilize various forms of approaches to analyze and obtain information and data, and two of the most popular approaches used are the qualitative research approach and quantitative research approach. Each approach can be beneficial or in some cases may cause inconclusive results depending on the type of research being conducted and what the nature of the study is. The following will assess two different peer reviewed articles: one which uses a qualitative approach and the other a quantitative approach. It

One of the two articles reviews by me was a quantitative study to find out the incidence of sports injuries occurring in adolescents (6-18yrs) playing ball games: soccer, handball and basketball by Yde et al, where the number of sports injuries, their pattern and mechanism were quantified into numerical values to support a hypothesis. Other was to find the psychosocial status of injured players during their injury-rehabilitation phase: a qualitative research by Clement et al where the psychological state viz. cognitive appraisal, behavioral responses and emotional responses during the three main phases viz. injury, rehabilitation and returning to sports. The key difference between the researchers of the two studies was that the qualitative researchers wanted to

There are many ways in which the author Robert Sutton made this article interesting and informative. Rather than just generalizing all of the collectors expressed emotions toward a debtor, Sutton looked deeper into this issue, and found that there were many underlying factors leading to the ways in which collectors emotions were expressed to the debtor they were dealing with. I was unaware that when dealing with a debtor, collectors were to stay emotionally detached, as well as professional, when discussing the important mater with their client. However, Sutton came to the conclusion that although the collectors were not supposed to become emotionally attached to the debtor, it was often found that a collectors expressed emotions were influenced

The study selected for this overview is “Characteristics of an effective District Leader” by Jennifer Garrison. The overall purpose of this study was to identify and further understand the relationship between district-level administrative actions and average student achievement in rural unit districts in Illinois, by interviewing two superintendents and conducting survey of their staff. The study however, is devoted to summary and discussion of rural K-12 unit Districts. The researchers references the history of the superintendence and how the position has evolved from a Chief Executive officer to a model of work for superintendents to provide a “strong commitment to organizational success and high level of student achievement”” (GARRISON, December 2013), . The researcher presented and review five questions and hypothesis, in addition implications and recommendations for further research is discussed.

This study was conducted using qualitative approach. With the aim to exploring patient’s and caregivers experience of gaining access to acute stroke care Harrison et al., (2012). Qualitative approach is appropriate as the study is therefore, concerned with exploring and understanding human experience as they occur and interpret in real life, (Cook, et al., 2013). It can be argued that qualitative research focuses on the credibility of the evidence presented as an authentic account and accurate interpretation of the respondent’s viewpoints in relation to the research question being explored (Burns, et al. (2015). However, the participant could be lying about their experience, therefore qualitative cannot be benchmarked as they depend on participant

Application of appropriate data collection method is important to avoid invalid evaluation results after implementation. As the data collection method plays an important role in impacting evaluation, a qualitative data collection method was chosen for this particular study. It is because; qualitative data provides useful information to understand the process behind the observed process and also helps in understanding nurses and patients perception towards the change management. Qualitative data will also help in generating evaluation hypothesis by strengthening the survey questionnaire and other evaluation findings (University of Wisconsin, n.d). In addition to this, as the evaluation method includes interview, observation and documentation,

Leadership = Communication? The Relations of Leaders’ Communication Styles with Leadership Style, Knowledge Sharing and Leadership Outcomes is an interesting field for research; the article is mainly focused on the methods and relevant research on to investigate the relations between leaders’ communication styles and charismatic leadership and leadership outcomes. The lot of research had already been done over this particular topic, however this article need a little glance of other factors. This article was done by Reinout E. de Vries, Angelique Bakker-Pieper and Wyneke Oostenveld and it clearly aims to describe the effect in behavior of a team and leadership

Both qualitative and quantitative data analysis approaches will be used in this research. Quantitative data analysis will be used to analyze the numerical data whereas qualitative data analysis will be used to analyze trends and relationships between the data and views of the participants obtained from the interviews and the questionnaires.

Another commonly used technique for collecting qualitative data is the interview. Interviews are conducted with a variety of objectives. Often they are used to collect historical data from the memories of interviewees. In other studies, they are used to collect opinions or impressions about something. In others, interviews are conducted to help identify the terminology used in a particular setting. They are sometimes used in combination with observations. In this case, they serve to clarify things that happened or were said during an observation, to elicit impressions of the meeting or other event that was observed, or to collect information on relevant events that were not observed. For the most part, interviews are more open ended and less structured (Merriam, 2001). Frequently, the interviewer asks the same questions of all the participants, but the order of the questions, the exact wording, and the

This essay will compare and contrast the 3 articles below in relation to qualitative and quantitative approaches to research focusing on the design and methods used in each study including sampling, data collection and data analysis. The first chosen article by Winkens et al. (2006) uses a qualitative method to look at the manifestations of mental slowness in the stroke population. Toulotte, Thevenon, Watelain and Fabre (2006) uses a case comparison quantitative study to identify healthy elderly fallers and non-fallers by gait analysis under dual task conditions and the study by Girou, Loyeau, Legrand, Oppein and Brun-Buisson (2002) uses a randomised clinical

Tisdell (2000) conducted her study also using the qualiative research method. She used a 4.5 – 3 hour taped interview to gather data. The taped interviews were later transcribed for review and analysis. Tisdell’s (2000) study population consist of 46 participants from various ethnic backgrounds. Tisdell’s research study appeared to be theoretical with an intent to determine how the participants spirituality affected their chosen careers in education, in addition to, how they viewed knowledge and education. The vehicle which Tisdell (2000) used for data analysis was the “constant comparative method.” (Merriam, 5998). Riessman (5993) tells us that “Interviews are transcribed to best represent the dynamic nature of the living conversation.”

Qualitative research is good at simplifying and managing data without destroying complexity and context. Qualitative methods are highly appropriate for questions where preemptive reduction of the data will prevent discovery. If the purpose is to learn from the participants in a setting or a process the way they experience it, the meanings they put on it, and how they interpret what they experience, the researcher needs methods that will allow for discovery and do justice to their perceptions and the complexity of their interpretations. Qualitative methods have in common the goal of generating new ways of seeing existing data. If the purpose is to construct a theory or a theoretical framework that reflects reality rather than the researchers own perspective or prior research results, one may need methods that assist the discovery of theory in data. If the purpose is to understand phenomena deeply and in detail, the researcher needs methods for discovery of central themes and analysis of core concerns. Each of these suggestions has a flip side. If one knows what is being hypothesized and what they are likely to find, if one do not need to know the complexity of others’ understandings, if one is testing prior theory rather than constructing new frameworks, or if one is simply describing a situation rather than deeply analyzing it, it is possible that one should not be working qualitatively. Perhaps the research question that one is tackling with in-depth interviews would be
