• In this research method, one or more independent variables are manipulated and
applied to one or more dependent variables to measure their effect on the latter.
• The effect of the independent variables on the dependent variables is observed and
recorded.
• It can be used to asses the effectiveness of a treatment.
Example are questions involving before-and -after scores within a group.
Ex: Did the groups' productivity increase significantly after the lighting was
changed?

Qualitative: Interview
Global Media Cultures
• In an interview, the researcher asks the respondents a series of questions that are
conducive to the objectives of a research.
• In an interview, the researcher can ask follow up questions to gather richer data.
• In a closed-format design, researchers read a question or statement and then ask
the subject to select a response from several answers that are presented.
• More commonly, however, interviews are open-ended so that subjects can
respond as they choose and researchers can probe with follow-up questions.

Qualitative: Focus Group
Global Media Cultures
• Focus group discussions can also be considered a type of interview, but it is
conducted in a group discussion setting.
• The researchers ensure appropriate space is given to the participants to discuss a
topic or issue in a context.
• The participants are allowed to either agree or disagree with each other’s
comments.
• With a focused group discussion, the researcher can know how a particular group
of participants perceives the topic, issue, event or phenomena, from their
opinions, beliefs, narratives, and even emotions.

Qualitative: Ethnographic Research
Global Media Cultures
• Commonly used by Cultural Anthropologists.
• Ethnography is the study of social interactions, behaviors, and perceptions that
occur within groups, teams, organizations, and/or communities.
• The central aim of ethnography is to provide rich, holistic insights into people’s
views and actions, as well as the nature (that is, sights, sounds) of the location
they inhabit, through the collection of detailed observations and interviews. with
the goal of producing a narrative account of that particular culture.
• You can observe this method in NatGeo People.

Qualitative: Ethnographic Research
Global Media Cultures
• Ethnographic research is the most in-depth observational method that studies
people in their naturally occurring environment.
• This type of research method can last from a few days to a few years, as it
involves in-depth observation and collecting data on those grounds.
• Data can be collected through: Interviews, Observation, and archival research.
• In this research, the researcher can be an observing participant which can be both
exciting and challenging, or just a complete researcher.
• You can record information about experiences, a description of their natural
setting, activities and events, rituals, relationships, social structure, meanings, etc.
• You can also gain a lot of information from their artifacts, written documents, etc.

Research Method
Qualitative: Case Study
Global Media Cultures
• A case study is a research method based on an in-depth investigation of a
particular individual, group, or event.
• example: the case of Genie Wiley, the feral child that I mentioned before.
• You might want to know “What is going on with” the case or “What are the
characteristics of this case”?
• It seeks to understand a case through the collection of very detailed and in-depth
data.

Research Method
Qualitative: Phenomenological Research
Global Media Cultures
• This method is used when a researcher attempts to gain an understanding of a
Phenomenon.
• Data can be gathered through observations, secondary sources, interviews,
experience, which can help to develop a narrative of experience that transitions
from abstract understanding to a conceptual understanding.
• It can provide information about what all participants who have experienced a
particular phenomenon have in common.
• You may want to interview people that have experienced that particular
phenomenon for several times in order to gather a full picture of their experience
with the phenomenon.
• Example: the lived experience of college students learning at home

In qualitative method: Since the materials collected are in the form of written words,
those words must first be grouped into meaningful categories or descriptive labels,
then organized to compare, contrast and identify patterns.
