35
snowball sampling
recruitment of participants based on word of mouth or referrals from other participants

39
participant observation
role of researcher in qualitative methods when researcher is not only an observer but also a participant in data collection
40
memoing
used to record ideas that come to researchers as they live with data
41
bracketing
used to set aside their personal interpretation and avoid bias
42
data reduction
simplify large amounts of data obtained from interviews and other sources
43
credibility
refers to the truth or believability of findings
44
four elements of evaluation
credibility transferability dependability confirmability
45
transferability
relates to whether findings from one study can be transferred to a similar context
46
dependabilty
relates to consistency in finding over time
47
confirmability
relates to rigorous attempts to be objective and the maintenance of audit trails to document the research process
48
credibility strategies
persistent observation peer debriefing referential adequacy member checks
49
persistent observation
researcher has spent a good deal of quality time with participants while attempting to describe the essence of phenomenon
50
peer debriefing
researcher enlists the help of another person who is a peer to discuss the data and findings
51
referential adequacy
multiple sources of data are compared and the new findings hold true
52
member checks
