Qualitative Data Collection

Health researchers employ health interpreters for research interviews with linguistically diverse speakers. Few studies compare inconsistencies between different interpretations of the same interview data. We compared interpreted with independently reinterpreted English language transcripts from five in-home family interviews conducted in five different Asian languages. Differences included augmented, summarized, and/or omitted information. Researchers should ensure that they, and their interpreters, follow rigorous processes for credible qualitative data collection, and audit their interpreted data for accuracy. Different interpretations of the same data can be incorporated into analyses.

Research Interviews

Purpose This study aims to examine the methodological and method-related challenges and opportunities arising from the use of video interviews in qualitative accounting research, focussed on collecting contextual data and visual cues, enriching communication quality and building and maintaining rapport with interviewees. Design/methodology/approach Prior literature and the authors’ experiences using video technologies for research, including conducting interviews, inform this research. This study uses a transactional conceptual refinement of information richness theory and channel expansion theory to critically analyse the challenges and opportunities of using video technology to conduct qualitative research interviews. Findings The ability, need for and significance of collecting contextual data depend on the researchers’ ontological and epistemological assumptions, and are, therefore, influenced by their research design choices. Video technology enables researchers to view research settings by video. In addition, whilst group/panel interviews have their advantages, it is often difficult to get everyone together in person, something video technology can potentially overcome. The feasibility and the quality of video interviews can be improved if both interview participants are experienced with using video technology, as well as with judicious investment in good quality video technology and through testing and practice. We also discuss how rapport building with interviewees can be facilitated by overcoming the video’s sense of disconnect and enhancing interviewees’ willingness to engage. Originality/value The study builds on the limited prior literature and considers the challenges and opportunities related to methodology and method when conducting video-based qualitative interviews in accounting research. Broadly, qualitative researchers will find the paper useful in considering the use of video interviews and in making research design choices appropriate for video interviews.

The Relationship

This article examines current transformations of the writing profession in France. Based on qualitative research (interviews with writers and their representatives, as well as organisers of literary events) and on a national survey conducted in 2016 by the Centre national du livre, it emphasises the tension between symbolic and professional recognition at different moments of a writer’s ‘career’. In a country where literary agents are only now starting to organise, and where creative writing courses are not as well established as elsewhere, publishers still play the key role of ‘gatekeepers’ into the literary field. The relationship with the publisher is thus crucial and is based on elective affinities. Yet, once published, an author still needs to be distinguished and recognised. Apart from the traditional literary prizes, which give symbolic and professional recognition, literary events (festivals, public readings) and residencies offer new career opportunities. These related activities, or ‘activités connexes’ have significantly increased in number: the article focuses especially on analysing how they now fit into and structure the literary careers of authors, as well as how authors themselves perceive them.

Case Study Data

AbstractThis study seeks to bring a more interactionally grounded perspective to the concept of “rapport” and its relevance for qualitative interviewing practices. Building on work within conversation analysis (CA), it respecifies rapport as affiliation and, more specifically, empathy. Analysis centers on case study data from an interview with an asylum seeker from the Philippines. It examines how interviewer and interviewee move in and out of empathic moments across the interview sequences as they manage their affective stances related to the events the interviewee describes and, in turn, by managing their empathic alignments with each other. These empathic moments share a number of features: they primarily come after response delays and the interviewee’s response pursuits, they are part of assessment sequences built by lexical reformulation and repetition, they entail stance matching and upgrading mainly through the use of prosodic resources, and they involve the interviewee asserting his primary rights to characterize and assess his own experiences. The article concludes by recommending more attention to the affiliative and empathic dimensions of qualitative interviewing.

This article presents a theory model, “When Nursing Becomes an Art,” and discusses one part of the results, the substantial category invitation and confirmation. Researchers wanted to answer these superordinate questions: (a) What characterizes nursing as an art? (b) What does it take to practice nursing as an art? and (c) What does the practice of nursing as an art result in? The questions were answered through (a) a discussion of theory, consisting of a review of the reference literature on caring and nursing; (b) a semantic segment, consisting of a semantic analysis of the concept of art; and (c) an empirical segment, consisting of observations and qualitative research interviews with patients and nurses. Researchers developed the results into a theory model. The basic categories of the theory model are (a) invitation and confirmation, (b) encounter, (c) actualization of values, (d) the act of good will, and (e) aesthetic communication.
