SOLVED

21) With which method of data analysis does a researcher begin with “empty boxes” or concepts and then go look for empirical evidence showing that the concepts are useful in organizing information? A) Narrative analysis B) Fixed point-in-time analysis C) Successive approximation D) Ideal type analysis E) Illustrative method 22) In what kind of special instance might research resort to analogies when analyzing qualitative data? A) Analogies involve repeated iterations where a researcher repeatedly moves and back and forth between the empirical data and the abstract concepts, ideas, or models in order to better reflect the evidence. B) Analogies are used in instances where the researcher wishes to make dramatic contrasts or highlight distinctive features as a way of drawing attention to what is considered to be specific and unique. C) Analogies are used in cases where the researcher–author wishes to “disappear” from the analysis in order to present the concrete details in chronological order as if they were the product of a unique and naturally unfolding series of events. D) Analogies are used for helping make sense of or explain data by referring to a deep structure or an underlying mechanism. E) Analogies are a type of empirical evidence that help to illustrate or anchor a theory. 23) Professor Shelly Gizmo asked 10 nurses to describe, in as much detail as possible, their duties during the first hour at work during a typical working day. A week later, Professor Gizmo followed each nurse on his or her daily rounds. She carefully recorded everything the nurse did and how long the nurse spent on each specific task. Afterward, she analyzed her data to determine whether or not a correspondence existed between what the nurses said they did and what they actually did. This type of research procedure is known as A) successive approximation. B) ideal type analysis. C) matrix analysis. D) time allocation analysis. E) multiple sorting procedure. 24) “Mapping” the connections among a set of people, organizations, events, or places in order to discover and display sets of relations is an analytical technique referred to as A) flow-chart and time sequencing. B) network analysis. C) multiple sorting procedure. D) selective coding. E) concept mapping. 25) Professor Terry Tanker asked the people she was studying to look at a set of 150 photos she had collected of their community. Each person was instructed to take a set of the photos and sort and organize them into piles that represented categories that made sense to them. Professor Tanker then asked the participants to explain the criteria they used to organize their photos. The method used by Professor Tanker in this instance was A) the illustrative method. B) the flow-chart development. C) time allocation analysis. D) successive approximation. E) multiple sorting procedure. 26) Qualitative software programs that contain features that make it possible to link search terms to other information in the text are specifically referred to as A) hypertext. B) text-based management software. C) code-and-retrieve programs. D) networks. E) Boolean searching software. 27) analogy 28) analytical memo 29) axial coding 30) concept map
