Story completion (SC) metoden för att samla in kvalitativa data

Forskagruppen Normail har bjudit in Dr Nikki Hayfield, Associate Director – Psychology, School of Social Sciences (SSoS), UWE, Bristol den 18 maj då Institutionen för hälsovetenskap har sitt sista hälsovetenskapliga forum.

Hon introducerar story completion (SC) metoden för att samla in kvalitativa data, en ny teknik som erbjuder spännande potential för den kvalitativa forskaren. SC innebär att en forskare skriver en berättelsestam eller ledtråd – eller enklare uttryckt, början på en berättelse, vanligtvis en eller två inledande meningar – och ber deltagarna att fullfölja eller fortsätta berättelsen.

This session focuses on story completion as an innovative way to generate qualitative data. In story completion, the researcher develops a story stem and invites participants to write a hypothetical story in response. The method is particularly suited to exploring sensitive or controversial topics, including those that might be prone to normative expectations and socially desirable responses. Nikki will draw on her own experience, including as a member of the Story Completion Research Group, to introduce the method and consider some of the possibilities and potential challenges for researchers considering using story completion studies.
