This chapter documents the ethnographic context in which the interviews and participant observation were conducted for the study presented in this book. It also situates the study within the context of narrative inquiry and develops arguments about the role of self-reflexivity in doing ethnography at “home” and producing qualitative forms of knowledge that are based on personal, experiential, and cultural narratives. It is argued that there is significant interest in the adoption of interpretive methods or qualitative research in psychology. The qualitative approaches in psychology present a provocative and complex vision of how the key concepts related to describing and interpreting cultural codes, social practices, and lived experience of others are suffused with both poetical and political elements of culture. The epistemological and ontological assumptions undergirding qualitative research reflect multiple “practices of inquiry” and methodologies that have different orientations, assumptions, values, ideologies, and criterion of excellence.

The study aims to investigate the role of livelihood diversification and social capital for the households’ movement, and also to explore the identity and bond of social capital and livelihood diversification to achieve an improved lifestyle. Human relations significantly create a network society, impalpable resource of community, shared values and trust which we draw upon in our daily lives. Livelihood diversification is a community-practised strategy for managing economic and income diversity in poverty reduction. It has highly emphasized income and well-being to diversify livelihood. It also turns the likely norms and networks with the households from exploiting new economic opportunities even in the future. This study responds to why people are migrating from the surrounding and the long distance of Kathmandu, and largely dependent on direct cash incomes from informal activities. It used qualitative approaches such as ethnography, case studies, participant observation, etc. to study the relationship between households and social capital level and livelihood diversification. Hence, the effects of social capital and livelihood diversification were found protecting households’ income. The major findings also show the social supportive network index which has significant effects on the households’ ability to learn a new livelihood. Income generations similarly affect the household capacity to secure a home and the socio-economic condition of households. This study can be advantageous for making both local and urban policy to diversify household livelihoods and social capital as well as applicable for new researchers in social sciences. Most importantly, it helps readers perceive new ways of promoting livelihood diversification and social capital and as a whole social advancement in Central Nepal.

Changing Role

Research conducted through computer-mediated communication is challenging traditional definitions of what is ethical research. In this article the author examines the changing role of assent/consent, confidentiality, and participant observation in qualitative research conducted in cyberspace. She concludes that REBs (research ethic boards) might be becoming more conservative in their decisions at the very moment that Internet research requires more flexibility and broader ethical definitions.

Sometimes, parents do not guide children back at home, only leave it to the teacher at school. So that children are less enthusiastic in memorizing the Qur'an. Thus the target of memorization that has been set has not been achieved. The purpose of this study is to determine the role of parents in children's memorization Qur'an education, the motivation of parents to send their children to memorization Qur'an education, and how parents motivate their children to take part in memorization Qur'an education at Integrated Islamic Elementary School Cendekia Darussalam.

This paper sees the Akan concept of “bosom”, translated into English as “lesser god”, as a very powerful socializing instrument used in constructing social order in the community. The aim of this paper is not to discount or dismiss the spiritual powers of the “bosom” but to use oral literature as a platform to investigate the role of the Akan people in the construction of what is known as “bosom”. This study has recourse to qualitative research methods in gathering data, the researcher immersing in the culture through formal and informal interviews and participant observation. The study also goes further to use the literary stylistics approach in analyzing the data. The findings are that man makes the taboos and the lesser gods execute the punishment. Again, taboos are values which constitute the tracks on which the society moves. These values “disguised” as “bosom” work, thanks to the fear factor in the Akan concept of “bosom”, making Akans literally worship these values in the form of “bosom”. Keywords: Cultural values, taboos, punishment, Akan lesser gods, stylistics

This research is motivated by the residents of Nagari Sungai Rumbai who are domiciled by several ethnic tribes such as Minangkabau, Javanese, Sundanese, and Batak residents. This heterogeneous tribe combines the original culture of each ethnic group living in Nagari Sungai Rumbai. This study aims to determine family education for the Javanese community in the habituation of the regional/(Javanese) language in the family, especially describing the role of family education at home, the role of family education in terms of the use of regional/(Javanese) languages, and knowing the supporting factors and inhibiting factors for the use of regional language/(Javanese). This type of research uses qualitative research methods using a case study approach. According to Creswell (2010), qualitative research always has its own characteristics. In another sense, qualitative research is a research approach that is carried out in a natural setting, placing the researcher as a data collection instrument, using inductive analysis and focusing on meaning according to the participant's perspective. Sources of data in this study that became the subject of the study were parents of families associated with Javanese transmigrant families in Nagari Sungai Rumbai, Dharmasraya Regency. While the informants are those who provide information about the research being carried out, namely, children or other family members in Javanese families. Data collection techniques used in this study were observation, interviews, and documentation. As well as the validity of the data obtained from this study was done by triangulation of sources. The results of the study show that (1) the role of family education at home is in the form of compassion (rasa), sharpening (cipta), and fostering (karsa), (2) the role of family education in terms of the use of regional languages, including families who have succeeded in teaching speech, namely passing on good use of the Javanese language to families and teach polite and courteous behavior, (3) the supporting factors are inviting to speak Javanese, marrying fellow Javanese descendants, and inviting children in social activities using the Javanese language. While the inhibiting factors are the influence of the majority language in which the regional language is used, the influence of the environment and association, and the younger generation does not appreciate the local language.
