Introducing Qualitative Research in Psychology is a vital resource for
students new to qualitative psychology. It explains when each
qualitative research method should be used, the procedures and
techniques involved, and any limitations associated with such
research. Throughout the new edition, material has been re-organized
and updated to reflect developments in the field, while Carla Willig's
style of writing, popular with students and lecturers alike, remains
unchanged. Key features of the new edition include: •Two new
chapters, one on metasynthesis and one on pluralism in qualitative
research •A broadening the Visual Methodologies chapter to include
other non-linguistic methods of data collection that engage with the
physical environment, such as the walking interview and object
elicitation •Information and analysis on innovative dissemination
methods such as performances and exhibitions •Expanded coverage of
the core question, “What makes qualitative research
‘research’?”, including clear explanations of the key tenets of
the scientific method •'But it's not as simple as all that' boxes
at the end of each chapter, where more complex issues, theoretical
critiques and conceptual challenges are raised. This title is
supported by an Online Learning Centre, which includes an array of
extra resources for both students and instructors. “This book is a
vital resource and a valuable reference, both for those new to
research and for those looking to further develop their skills and
knowledge of qualitative research in psychology.” Nollaig Frost,
