NARRATIVE RESEARCH
Silva, J. M., & Pugh, A. J. (2010). Beyond the depleting model of parenting: Narratives of childrearing and change. Sociological Inquiry, 80(4), 605-627. doi:10.1111/j.1475-682X.2010.00353.x. The qualitative research design that I did not use is: Narrative Research. In this narrative research study, cited above, the authors and/or researchers, Silva and Pugh (2010) research twenty-four lengthy and in-depth interviews with parents who are younger in age, in an attempt to investigate the effects that parenting has on the lives of parents. The interviews that Silva and Pugh (2010) conduct and review employ the narrative …show more content…
As identified earlier, they have to know where they stand and where their ambiguity lies as well, and in both, do their best to avoid incorporating either in their interpretations of their research (Bedford and Landry, 2010). Narrative researchers have to be clear on where they stand in these two arenas and “mask” (Bedford and Landry, 2010, p. 171) them both. The relationships that develop during the study are another limitation that could also be identified as a strength. Researchers have to be mindful to remain objective to make certain and to assure the participants that they will not participate in voyeurism, just to obtain their own personal gain academically (Bedford, Landry, 2010). These are only some of the strengths and limitations that narrative researchers have to take into consideration while conducting narrative interviews. In this study previously identified, these two researchers need to definitely remain objective.
My analysis of this narrative research would be conducted utilizing the thematic approach (Bedford and Landry, 2010). I say this because I would use the narrative interviews as data, and turn them into themes that express my findings (Bedford and Landry, 2010). Those findings would allow me to answer the question, “how did parenting effect you as a parent and why”? There will exist, portions of each person’s story that will aide me in answering this question. I deem the thematic approach the best analytical approach for this qualitative narrative research
