Doing Qualitative Research

Synopsis: DD307 uses traditional and cutting-edge social psychological theories to explore some of the most exciting and pressing issues we face in our complex, fast changing world. Topics include emotions, conflict, relationships, the body, personality, prejudice and group processes.

This second DVD is focused on how to conduct a research project. It begins by thinking through the research topic and the process of coming up with an idea for a project. Students who have already conducted research projects in various contexts discuss the issues and challenges involved. The DVD moves on to give examples of individual interviews and a group discussion. It then turns from data collection to data analysis and illustrates in some detail three different approaches to analysing transcripts, based on discursive psychological, phenomenological and social psychoanalytical perspectives.
