Theme identification is one of the most fundamental tasks in qualitative research. It also mysterious. Explicit descriptions theme discovery are rarely found articles and reports, when they are, often relegated to appendices or footnotes. Techniques shared among small groups social scientists, but sharing impeded by disciplinary epistemological boundaries. The techniques described here drawn from across They include both observational manipulative range quick word counts laborious, in-depth,...
Envy is a pan-human phenomenon, universally feared, at least subconsciously, as particularly dangerous emotion, since it implies hostility and aggression capable of destroying individuals even societies. Especially in Western society, man has rather successfully repressed his true feelings about envy, which he taught the most shameful reprehensible all emotions. But while denying it, cultures found devices, but not are symbolic, to cope with fear consequences envy. In this paper I...
In this paper we compare two methods for estimating the size of personal networks using a nationally representative sample United States. Both rely on ability respondents to estimate number people they know in specific subpopulations U.S. (e.g., diabetics, Native Americans) and particular relation categories immediate family, coworkers). The results demonstrate remarkable similarity between average network generated by both (approximately 291). Similar were obtained with separate national...
This paper examines the problem of informant accuracy in production social network data, through use a self-monitoring network. allows comparison between cognitive data and informants' interactive behavior. Against expectations, it turns out that informants are extremely inaccurate. In other words, reports their behavior bear little resemblance to If an claimed have communicated with some person most frequently then, fact, he first fourth only 52% time. The implications our findings for...
Sample size determination for open-ended questions or qualitative interviews relies primarily on custom and finding the point where little new information is obtained (thematic saturation). Here, we propose test a refined definition of saturation as obtaining most salient items in set (where can be material things concepts, depending topic study) rather than attempting to obtain all items. Salient have higher prevalence are more culturally important. To do this, explore saturation, salience,...
This paper repeats and confirms the results of Kill worth Bernard (1976), concerning informants'ability to report their communication accurately. A variety self-monitoring, or nearly networks are used for this study. The conclusion again appears that people do not know, with any accuracy, those whom they communicate. expanded experimental design permits a other, related questions be answered: recall past is significantly more accurate than prediction future communication; no one set data...
There has been a recent explosion of articles on minimum sample sizes needed for analyzing qualitative data. The purpose this integrated review is to examine literature 10 types data analysis (5 saturation and 5 common methods). Building established reviews expanding new methods, our findings extract the following size guidelines: theme (9 interviews; 4 focus groups), meaning (24 8 theoretical (20–30+ interviews), metatheme (20–40 interviews per site), in salience (10 exhaustive free lists);...
Human opsonic α 2 -surface binding glyoprotein (α SB-glycoprotein), a molecule having immunologic identity with an amino acid composition similar to cold-insoluble globulin, is concentrated in cryoprecipitate of plasma. Septic surgical and trauma patients manifesting SB-glycoprotein deficiency associated reticuloendothelial system dysfunction were treated by intravenous infusion cryoprecipitate. This therapy restored circulating bioreactive immunoreactive opsonin improved their septicemia,...
We tested competing hypotheses for the skin color-blood pressure relationship by analyzing association between blood and 2 color variables: pigmentation social classification.We measured reflectance spectrophotometry classification linking respondents to ethnographic data on cultural model of "color" in southeastern Puerto Rico. used multiple regression analysis test associations these variables a community-based sample Rican adults aged 25-55 years (n=100). Regression models included age,...
