MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. In addition to the aim or goal of the study, the purpose statement for a qualitative study
should include The phenomenon of interest, the population, and the
a. Setting
b. Rationale for conducting the study
c. Theoretical framework used
d. Hypothesis
ANS: A
The purpose statement for a qualitative study should include the phenomenon and population
being studied and the setting. The rationale for conducting the study is not included in the
purpose statement for qualitative research. The theoretical framework used is not a part of the
purpose statement. Qualitative studies do not use hypothesis statements since stating expected
outcomes and relationships are not consistent with the philosophical orientation of this
approach. Instead, research questions or objectives are used.

2. In contrast to quantitative research study participants who are selected to be as representative
of a population as possible, qualitative research participants are selected because they
a. Are philosophically attuned to the use of narratives and narrative analysis as the best means
to convey their experience to the researcher and to others
b. Meet the requirements for involvement in the study that the researcher specified at the outset
of the study’s implementation
c. Also are representative of the population
d. Have experienced the phenomenon of interest
ANS: D
The criterion for selecting participants for a qualitative study is that they have experienced the
phenomenon of interest. The participants’ view of the value of narrative research and analysis
is not the reason that study participants in a qualitative study are selected. In qualitative
methodology, the method of sampling may differ as the study progresses, since the researcher
may be led to interview a broader range of subjects than originally intended by what early
participants relate. Although representativeness of the sample, especially through random
sampling, is important to external validity (that is, the extent to which the sample’s findings
can be applied to the population) for quantitative methods, it is not a characteristic of
qualitative research.

methodology except for which of the following?
a. The criterion of theoretical sufficiency is used to determine when the sample size is adequate.
b. Samples used in qualitative research are typically much smaller than in quantitative research.
c. The criterion of data saturation is used to determine when the sample size is adequate.
