The Clip Approach : A Visual Methodology to Support the (Re)Construction of Life Narratives
2021
Major life changes may cause an autobiographical rupture and a need to work on one’s narrative identity. This article introduces a new qualitative interview methodology originally developed to facilitate 10 prostate cancer patients and five spouses in the (re)creation of their life narratives in the context of a series of interventive interviews conducted over a timespan of several months. In “The Clip Approach” the interviewees’ words, phrases, and metaphors are reflected back in a physical form (“the Clips”) as visual artifacts that allow the interviewees to re-enter and re-consider their experience and life and re-construct their narratives concerning them. Honoring the interviewees as …
Methodological considerations for studies in sport and exercise science with women as participants: a working guide for standards of practice for res…
2021
AbstractUntil recently, there has been less demand for and interest in female-specific sport and exercise science data. As a result, the vast majority of high-quality sport and exercise science data have been derived from studies with men as participants, which reduces the application of these data due to the known physiological differences between the sexes, specifically with regard to reproductive endocrinology. Furthermore, a shortage of specialist knowledge on female physiology in the sport science community, coupled with a reluctance to effectively adapt experimental designs to incorporate female-specific considerations, such as the menstrual cycle, hormonal contraceptive use, pregnanc…
Between context and comparability: Exploring new solutions for a familiar methodological challenge in qualitative comparative research
2020
Finding the balance between adequately describing the uniqueness of the context of studied phenomena and maintaining sufficient common ground for comparability and analytical generalisation has widely been recognised as a key challenge in international comparative research. Methodological reflections on how to adequately cover context and comparability have extensively been discussed for quantitative survey or secondary data research. In addition, most recently, promising methodological considerations for qualitative comparative research have been suggested in comparative fields related to higher education. The article’s aim is to connect this discussion to comparative higher education rese…
Marketing or methodology? : Exposing the fallacies of PLS with simple demonstrations
2023
Purpose Over the past 20 years, partial least squares (PLS) has become a popular method in marketing research. At the same time, several methodological studies have demonstrated problems with the technique but have had little impact on its use in marketing research practice. This study aims to present some of these criticisms in a reader-friendly way for non-methodologists. Design/methodology/approach Key critiques of PLS are summarized and demonstrated using existing data sets in easily replicated ways. Recommendations are made for assessing whether PLS is a useful method for a given research problem. Findings PLS is fundamentally just a way of constructing scale scores for regression. PL…
Rejoinder: fractures in the edifice of PLS
2023
Purpose This study aims to provide a response to the commentary by Yuan on the paper “Marketing or Methodology” in this issue of EJM. Design/methodology/approach Conceptual argument and statistical discussion. Findings The authors find that some of Yuan’s arguments are incorrect, or unclear. Further, rather than contradicting the authors’ conclusions, the material provided by Yuan in his commentary actually provides additional reasons to avoid partial least squares (PLS) in marketing research. As such, Yuan’s commentary is best understood as additional evidence speaking against the use of PLS in real-world research. Research limitations/implications This rejoinder, coupled with Yuan’s comm…
New insights on Neolithic food and mobility patterns in Mediterranean coastal populations
2020
OBJECTIVES The aims of this research are to explore the diet, mobility, social organization, and environmental exploitation patterns of early Mediterranean farmers, particularly the role of marine and plant resources in these foodways. In addition, this work strives to document possible gendered patterns of behavior linked to the neolithization of this ecologically rich area. To achieve this, a set of multiproxy analyses (isotopic analyses, dental calculus, microremains analysis, ancient DNA) were performed on an exceptional deposit (n = 61) of human remains from the Les Breguieres site (France), dating to the transition of the sixth to the fifth millennium BCE. MATERIALS AND METHODS The sa…
Historicising Cultural Sport Psychology : Dare we De-centre Methodological Eurocentrism?
2021
In this essay we critically reflect on our respective journeys to and within cultural sport psychology (CSP). Since the inception, CSP scholars have advocated for opening the privileged academic space for marginalised voices and omitted subject themes; as well as cautioned researchers that the CSP project itself needs to be constantly revisited and reworked to keep it in progressive flux. We argue that, despite some notable advances, CSP remains a predominantly white Anglo-American intellec-tual space and that previous calls to engage with issues of power and privilege in the prevailing knowledge production have been largely unanswered. The lack of diverse voices within the CSP community ma…
Hacia una nueva historia de la arquitectura
1991
EL ANALISIS DE LA HISTORIA DE LA ARQUITECTURA MUESTRA LAS CARENCIAS QUE PRESENTAN LOS ENFOQUES TRADICIONALES EN LA COMPRENSION DEL FENOMENO ARQUIECTONICO. PARA SUPERAR ESTA SITUACION SE PROPONE EL METODO CIENTIFICO Y UNA PROPUESTA METODOLOGICA QUE TIENE COMO FINALIDAD EL AYUDAR A DESENTRAÑAR EL CONOCIMIENTO DE LA ARQUITECTURA EN SU SIGNIFICADO, DENTRO DE SUS CONTESTOS HISTORICOS, SOCIALES Y URBANOS, Y TENIENDO EN CUENTA FACTORES ESPACIALES. (A.B.C./ L.A.G.)
Zur Methodenfrage bei der Erforschung von Mündlichkeit am Beispiel von Projektarbeit in DaF
2009
In dem vorliegenden Beitrag sollen an den Forschungsgegenstand Mündlichkeit methodologische Überlegungen geknüpft und im Projektunterricht an einem Einzelfall exemplifiziert werden. Damit siedelt sich diese Abhandlung im Rahmen der in der DaF-Forschung seit einigen Jahren geführten Methodendiskussion an und vertieft hier insbesondere die Auseinandersetzung mit qualitativen Ansätzen.
La metodologia della ricerca in didattica
2021
Il testo descrive le tipologie di ricerca in campo didattico; segnala le aree più rappresentate nel panorama italiano degli ultimi anni e gli ambiti ritenuti prioritari per i prossimi anni; indica una metodologia capace di migliorare la pratica educativa già durante lo svolgimento delle azioni di ricerca; fornisce dei suggerimenti per assicurare la qualità delle ricerche di Didattica indipendentemente dal metodo di indagine adoperato. Le argomentazioni svolte sono animate dalla profonda convinzione che non sia possibile fare ricerca in Didattica senza la collaborazione e il confronto dei ricercatori universitari con gli insegnanti e con gli educatori in generale. The text describes the type…
