Doing Q Methodological Research - Simon Watts

Descriere Doing Q Methodological Research - Simon Watts

This book is a simple yet thorough introduction to Q methodology, a research technique designed to capture the subjective or first-person viewpoints of its participants. Watts and Stenner outline the key theoretical concepts developed by William Stephenson, the founder of Q methodology, including subjectivity, concourse theory and abduction. They then turn to the practicalities of delivering high quality Q methodological research. \n \n \n \n \n \n Using worked examples throughout, the reader is guided through: \n \n \n \n \n \n * important design issues \n \n \n * the conduct of fieldwork \n \n \n * all the analytic processes of Q methodology, including factor extraction, factor rotation and factor interpretation. \n \n \n \n \n \n Drawing on helpful conceptual introductions to potentially difficult statistical concepts and a step-by-step guide to running Q methodological analyses using dedicated software, this book enables interested readers to design, manage, analyse, interpret and publish their own Q methodological research. \n
