More Issues in Design for Qualitative Research (continued)
Going for depth, you ask questions that require a thoughtful response.
- Was encouraging your mother’s move a difficult decision for you?
To suggest your concern with details, you can ask:
- What was happening in your mother¡¦s life when she decided to move?
- Is she more dependent on you now?
- Can you give men some examples of her increased dependence?
To be vivid, an anecdote should create a strong vicarious experience for the audience.
Nuance means precision in description, not blue, but cornflower blue.
- How did you feel about the offer of a trip to Thailand?
- Does it always happen like that?
