Plz help me - sociology a/s exam (methods of research) tomorrow!?
compared to participant observation, structured interviews can utilize larger samples, so generalisations are more justified.
It is possible to produce quantitaive data from interviews and it is easy to replicate the research and check results.
Interviews are more flexible than any other research method. They can be used to extract simple factual information from people. They can be used to ask people about their attitudes, their past,present, or future behaviour, motives, feelings and other emotions that cannot be observed directly.
Interviews may not be valid or reliable. Responses may not be accurate or may not reflect real behaviour.
Intervieewes may be influenced by the presence of the researcher.
Operationalise - make something measurable.
Comparative method invloves comparisons. It is based upon an analysis of what happened or is happening in society, rather than upon the situations artificially created by a researcher.
Longitudinal study is a study over a long period of time e.g Years, decades etc.
Panel Study is an another name for a Longitudinal Study.
Sampling frame - a list of all the relevant sampling units in population.
Hope i helped, i ve got an exam tomorrow aswell (:
