Generic qualitative research is a methodology that seeks to understand human experience by taking a qualitative stance and using qualitative procedures. Based on Sandra Kostere and Kim Kostere's experiences of serving on dissertation committees, this book aims to demystify both the nuances and the procedures of qualitative research, with the aim of empowering students to conduct meaningful dissertation research and present findings that are rigorous, credible, and trustworthy. It examines the fundamental principles and assumptions underlying the generic qualitative method, then covers each stage of the research process including creation of research questions, interviews, and then offers three ways of analyzing the data gathered and presenting the results. With examples of the generic qualitative method in practice to show students how to conduct their research confidently, and chapters designed to walk the researcher through each step of the dissertation process, this book is specifically tailored for the accessible generic method, and will be useful for graduate students and faculty developing dissertations in Psychology, Education, Nursing and the social sciences." -- Back cover 0aDissertations, AcademicxAuthorship. 0aSocial sciencesvResearchxMethodology.1 aKostere, Kim,eauthor.  2ddcn0cBKe23h300.721iK848gkGRDm2022  00102ddc4070aCSPCbCSPCcGRDd2025-09-11l0oGRD 300.721 K848g 2022p030086r2025-09-11 15:46:58t1-1w2025-09-11yBK  c30497d30497
