Considering phenomenologists' belief that experience constitutes reality, how does their approach to the literature review dovetail with that belief?
a. The literature is exactly as real as the other research data, and it is all analyzed and valued equally during the data analysis portion of the study.
b. If the literature reports other phenomenologists' findings, based on experience, these can be considered alternative data sources.
c. The literature is a false interpretation of reality and cannot be considered, either before or after data analysis is complete.
d. The literature review is usually postponed until after data analysis completion, so that the understanding of the phenomenon will emanate solely from the data.
ANS: B
In qualitative research, the purpose and timing of the literature review depends on the type of study to be conducted. Some phenomenologists believe the literature should not be reviewed until after the data have been collected and analyzed so that the literature will not interfere with the researcher's ability to suspend what is known and approach the topic with openness.
