Abstract:

The discipline of political science has been engaged in vibrant debate about research transparency for more than three decades. Over the last ten years, scholars who generate, collect, interpret, and analyze qualitative data have become increasingly involved in these discussions. The debate has played out across conference panels, coordinated efforts such as the Qualitative Transparency Deliberations (Büthe et al. 2021), articles in a range of journals, and symposia in outlets such as PS: Political Science and Politics, Security Studies, the newsletter of the Comparative Politics section

Abstract:

A large methodological literature addresses the topic of case studies. But much of this work focuses on issues pertaining to data collection, including techniques of data retrieval (e.g., ethnography, interviews), coding, and recording. By contrast, John Gerring’s stimulating new book, Case Study Research: Principles and Practices, considers the logic of case study research design. Gerring seeks to explicate the meaning, purposes, and payoffs of the case study. Although the book focuses on practices as well as principles, it is not so much a “user’s guide” as a full-blown theory of the inner w

Abstract:

Bridging the quantitative-qualitative divide in civil war studies is imperative if we are to improve our understanding of the dynamics of intrastate violence leading up to all-out civil wars. Nicholas Sambanis (2004) pinpointed a list of shortcomings in the quantitative literature on civil wars–measurement error, unit heterogeneity, model misspecification, and unclear specification of causal mechanisms–and called for combining statistical and case study work to address these limitations. Sambanis and Paul Collier (2005) then edited two volumes that identified the causal logic and limitations o

Abstract:

Qualitative studies, such as sociological research, opinion analysis and media studies, can benefit greatly from automated topic mining provided by topic models such as latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA). However, examples of qualitative studies that employ topic modelling as a tool are currently few and far between. In this work, we identify two important problems along the way to using topic models in qualitative studies: lack of a good quality metric that closely matches human judgement in understanding topics and the need to indicate specific subtopics that a specific qualitative study may

CAS researchers not only showcase the approach’s great strengths; they also encourage more work along these lines, since CAS contributions comprise only around 15 percent of recent works in comparative politics (Ahram, K&o

Research shows that everyday creativity, or Small-c creativity, makes people "feel happy and enlivened" (Silvia et al. 2014). Creativity also improves people's well-being and helps them maintain or improve both physical and mental health (Richards, 2007).

Abstract:

This paper will present an empirically based analysis of parenting in order to critically examine the work of two major social capital theorists. The work of James S. Coleman and Pierre Bourdieu is much cited, but while both focus on the links between individuals, families and wider social structures, their theories are based on very different interpretations of social capital and its implications. Drawing on qualitative data from a UK based qualitative study of parenting resources this paper will critically assess each theory using case studies. We argue that these two approaches allude to di

Abstract:

In this methodological and theoretical article, we address the need for more cross-case work on studies of literacy in use within different social and cultural contexts. The Cultural Practices of Literacy Study (CPLS) project has been working on a methodology for cross-case analyses that are principled in that the qualitative nature of each case, with its layers of context and interpretive meaning making by the researcher, is maintained while still allowing for data aggregation across cases. We present a model of a literacy practice that emerged from this work as one that may contribute to the

Abstract:

This feminist analysis focuses on sexual harassment within a specific category of jobs known as display work, where primarily women’s bodies are commodified and sold to consumers, and often through the conduits of powerful male industry leaders. Using qualitative content analysis methods to analyze 88 subjective, first-person narratives of harassment from 70 models working within the fashion business, I describe how the commodification of bodies interacts with the particular features of the modeling industry—the premium placed on youth, ambiguous industry demands, and the presence of kingmaker

Abstract:

Participatory research studies utilizing qualitative data drawn from large, diverse samples appear increasingly common in the social sciences, particularly in international development. This reflects demand for participatory approaches to researching human well-being at scale, comparative research on globalization and development, and breadth and scale in evidence-based policy making. “Big Qual” studies in international development increasingly combine qualitative with participatory methods and incorporate action research, oral histories, case studies, and visual methods.

To give space to multi-locals as people with complex living and working arrangements and to support their narratives, the visual methods work-life biographies and reflexive photography were used during interviews. After introducing the state of research on work-related multi-local living and visual methods, two German case studies, the one in the city of Stuttgart in Baden-Wuerttemberg, the other in the rural district of Diep

Qualitative research dominates political science. In the field of international relations (IR), for example, about 70% of scholars primarily employ qualitative methods, compared to 21% favoring formal or quantitative analysis (Jordan et al. 2009). Since nearly all of the latter make secondary use of textual and historical methods, overallover 90% of IR scholarsemploy qualitative analysis, whereas 48% use any statistical and only 12% any formal methods. This understates the dominance of qualitative analysis, for many statistical data sets rest ultimately on historical work, and IR scholars, whe

The paper analyses <strong>ageing and vulnerability</strong> in case of unemployment for low educated, low skilled workers who are employed in waste collection and construction in Bulgaria – both sectors with low-quality jobs. For most of the workers, employment in waste collection or construction is the only possible opportunity to remain at the labour market. The majority of employees in waste collection are illiterate and unskilled and some have previous experience in construction, steel industry, etc. Construction workers 50+ years of age are particularly vulnerable in case of unempl

The objective of this research is to present the primary results of a study on generations and generational relationships in Braga, Portugal, specifically in the spheres of family, school, work, leisure and consumption, and religion. For this purpose, three generational cohorts were differentiated, belonging to those born in the decades 1940–1950, 1965–1975, and 1990–2000. This work will focus on the first of these generations, 1940–1950. To carry out this research, each generation was structured based on gender and social class, and qualitative (Life Stories) and quantitative (questionnaires)

Abstract:

The debate about the “right” methods and designs for nursing research is on-going. According to international surveys, studies on the effectiveness and safety of nursing interventions are rare. Since nursing practice deals daily with interventions, nurses ostensibly expose hospital patients and nursing home residents frequently to unproven therapeutic and preventive nursing interventions. Nursing interventions are predominately of a complex nature, consisting of several components depending on and interacting with each other and their complex contextual factors. Thus, evaluation studies are of

Abstract The expansion of managed long-term services and supports has generated considerable interest over the last decade. However, studies on the impact of these efforts have produced mixed findings. Additionally, there is limited information about the care management models used in implementation. This lack of data makes it impossible to assess whether differences in managed care plan approaches have an impact on participants.
