摘要

本文建议将日记研究作为解决定性过程研究中关键问题的一种方法选择。日记研究揭示了个体内部的关系,以过程性的方式捕捉个体经验和对这些经验的感知。因此,使用日记研究不仅可以满足定性研究中对更动态的方法设计的需求,而且有利于提供个人如何参与所研究的建构的过程视图。纵向研究的过程性研究往往会面临自然减员或脱离的挑战,而本文讨论的是,被试认为有益的方法选择如何能够保持参与度,从而保证研究的严谨性。一方面,对同一参与者的访谈和日记数据进行比较后发现,访谈中存在记忆衰减的迹象,这加强了日记研究在过程现象研究中的严谨性。另一方面,本研究还展示了研究人员如何通过在研究中提出的反思性和过程性问题,无意间传授给参与者专业知识,从而对参与者产生积极影响,并在反思后促进学习。因此,本文展示了一种研究方法同时有益于研究和被研究者的能力,并提出了一种逐步设计的方法,利用用户友好型表格和反思性提问来实施严谨而有影响力的日记研究。

Diary studies in research: More than a research method
This paper proposes diary studies as a methodological choice for addressing crucial questions in qualitative process research. Diary studies unearth within-individual relationships that capture individual experiences and sense-making of these experiences in a processual manner. Therefore, using diary studies not only addresses the need for more dynamic methodological designs in qualitative research, but is advantageous for providing a process view of how the individual engages with the constructs studied. While process-studies, studied longitudinally, are often fraught with challenges of attrition or disengagement, this paper discusses how a methodological choice which is perceived as being beneficial by the participant can sustain engagement and consequently, research rigour. On one hand, a comparison of interview and diary data from the same participants show evidence of memory decay in interviews and reinforce the rigour of diary studies in the study of processual phenomenon. On the other hand, this study also showcases how researcher know-how, unintentionally imparted through reflective and processual questions asked in the study positively impacts the participants, and when reflected on, enhanced learning. This paper therefore demonstrates the ability of a research method to benefit both the research and the researched, and suggests a step-by-step design to implement a rigorous and impactful diary study using user-friendly forms and reflective questioning.
