HOW TO ANALYZE THE STORY

by Richard A. Krueger

  • Group similar stories together
  • Think about the representativeness of the stories
    Are they typical, extreme cases, special circumstances or what?
  • Step back and look for patterns
  • Describe the patterns in writing
  • Seek verification from research colleagues
  • Compare results to other research findings
  • Problems with credibility
    • Authenticity - Truth
    • Accuracy - Memory Problems
    • Representativeness and Sampling
    • Generalizability / Transferability
