- 3. Type of perspective that is the outsiders’ view of the experiences of a culture.
- 4. Type of perspective that is the way members of the culture view their world, an insiders’ view.
- 5. The second step in descriptive phenomenology, which occurs when researchers remain open to the meanings attributed to the phenomenon by those who have experienced it.
- 7. In-depth investigations of a single entity or a small number of entities (i.e. individual, family, groups, organizations, or communities). Researchers obtain a large amount of descriptive information in an attempt to analyze and understand issues that are important to the history, development, or circumstances of the entity under study. Designs can be single or multiple, and holistic or embedded.
- 9. Type of sampling that involves selecting cases that meet predetermined important standards/characteristics.
- 10. A guiding sample size principle that involves sampling to the point at which no new information is obtained and redundancy is achieved.
- 13. The systematic attempt to establish facts and relationships about past events. This type of research relies primarily on qualitative data.
- 17. Type of case sampling that involves identifying and gaining access to a single case representing a phenomenon that was previously inaccessible to research study.
- 19. Focuses on the meaning of lived experiences in humans. It has roots in philosophy and psychology.

- 1. This type of phenomenology seeks to described lived experiences and involves four steps: bracketing, intuiting, analyzing, and describing.

- 6. _____________ variation sampling is the most widely used method of purposive sampling. It involves purposefully selecting persons or settings with a wide range of variation in the characteristic of interest.
- 8. Refers to a rich and thorough description of the research settings, study participants, and observed transactions and processes.
- 11. Type of sampling that involves adding new cases to a sample based on changes in research circumstances as data is collected or in response to new leads and opportunities that may develop in the field
- 12. Type of case sampling that involves selecting especially important or illustrative cases regarding the phenomenon of interest.
- 14. Qualitative studies use this type of design, the design evolves or emerges as the study unfolds.
- 15. Type of case sampling that involves selecting cases based on a recommendation from an expert or key informant.
- 16. Type of sampling that deliberately reduces variation and allows a more focused inquiry.
- 18. The study of signs and their meanings.
