Scenario 2: Researching people’s perceptions of transgender parenting
A researcher has collected story completion data about people’s perceptions of transgender parenting. She has collected 50 stories – 25 from men and 25 from women – and is unsure whether to use thematic analysis or interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) to analyse the data and she asks for your advice... 1) You advise her to use thematic analysis... Because thematic analysis is a more objective method Because IPA can only be used to analyse data about people’s experiences and the meanings they attach to their experiences Because IPA can only be used to analyse interview data Because the sample is too small to use IPA 2) The researcher chose to use story completion tasks to collect her data... Because story completion tasks are ideally suited to exploring people’s assumptions about a topic Because they are the most accurate way of measuring people’s perceptions of a topic Because they are easier to analyse than qualitative interviews Because it’s really important to set every participate the same task in qualitative research 3) When the researcher has completed her analysis she will be able to... Predict which groups in the population will hold the most negative attitude towards transgender parents Understand the effects of transgender parenting on children Understand why teenagers hold more negative attitudes to their parent undergoing a sex change than younger children Discuss key themes in the ways in which people make sense of transgender parenting 4) The researcher is worried that interviews would have been a better method to use, so you reassure her that story completion tasks are an appropriate method because... Interviews can only be used with small samples Interviews are not ideal for researching sensitive topics Researchers require years of research experience before they can conduct interviews successfully and ethically Interviews are better used to examine people’s experiences 5) The researcher wants to compare male and female participants’ responses to the story completion task but she is worried that this would be inappropriate. You reassure her that this would be appropriate because... Because it’s important that her analysis shows whether men or women hold more negative attitudes to transgender parenting Story completion tasks are one of the few qualitative methods ideally suited to comparative designs It’s really important for qualitative studies to generate hypotheses that can be tested in quantitative research Because her study will lack validity if she doesn’t compare male and female responses
