Abstract

ABSTRACT Qualitative research in psychology can often maintain standards and assumptions from positivistic and experimental methodologies. Sometimes these issues are well argued against or around logically in literature, often abstractly, but cases of methodological consideration with real cases are rarer. This discussion aims to help methodological reflection and learning by presenting a case of multiple intersecting methodological considerations. The methods included a content analysis completed on interviews with women related to men participating in a violence and intervention trial. This paper presents the limitations and methodological considerations during analysis as a detailed discussion. Considerations arose from assumptions in the research design, interpreter use and leading questions. The discussion describes considerations and solutions depending on the scope required – here working with women in or near contexts of violence. Hopefully, a demonstration of full considerations within such a project encourages similar case-based examinations of research.

“你又认为这是药物”：反思在干预试验中采访暴力和冲动男性家庭成员的定性方法

心理学中的定性研究通常可以保持实证主义和实验方法论的标准和假设。有时，这些问题在文献中被很好地从逻辑上反对或围绕，通常是抽象的，但结合真实案例进行方法论思考的案例很少。本次讨论旨在通过介绍一个多重交叉方法论考虑的案例来帮助方法论反思和学习。这些方法包括对参与暴力和干预试验的与男性有关的女性进行访谈的内容分析。本文详细讨论了分析过程中的局限性和方法上的考虑。研究设计、口译员使用和引导问题中的假设引起了考虑。讨论描述了根据所需范围的考虑因素和解决方案——这里是与处于或接近暴力环境中的妇女合作。希望在这样一个项目中充分考虑的展示能鼓励对研究进行类似的基于案例的检查。

期刊介绍： Qualitative Research in Psychology is an international, peer-reviewed journal that publishes high-quality, original research. It aims to become the primary forum for qualitative researchers in all areas of psychology, including cognitive, social, developmental, educational, clinical, health, and forensic psychology. The journal also welcomes psychologically relevant qualitative research from other disciplines. It seeks innovative and pioneering work that advances the field of qualitative research in psychology. The journal has published state-of-the-art debates on various research approaches, methods, and analytic techniques, such as discourse analysis, interpretative phenomenological analysis, visual analyses, and online research. It has also explored the role of qualitative research in fields like psychosocial studies and feminist psychology. Additionally, the journal has provided informative articles on ethics, transcription, interviewee recruitment, and has introduced innovative research techniques like photovoice, autoethnography, template analysis, and psychogeography. While the predominant audience consists of psychology professionals using qualitative research methods in academic, clinical, or occupational settings, the journal has an interdisciplinary focus. It aims to raise awareness of psychology as a social science that encompasses various qualitative approaches. In summary, Qualitative Research in Psychology is a leading forum for qualitative researchers in psychology. It publishes cutting-edge research, explores different research approaches and techniques, and encourages interdisciplinary collaboration.
