The third volume of the Qualitative Psychology Nexus documents
the contributions and discussions at the third international
workshop on qualitative psychology, organized by the Center for
Qualitative Psychology under the title
"Research Questions and
Matching Methods of Analysis"
The meeting took place in October 2002 in Perlora, Spain.
The ongoing efforts of our Spanish colleagues,
especially Ramón Pérez Pérez and Olga Pérez,
made it possible for this meeting to take place at a wonderful
retreat center in Perlora - just weeks before its beautiful beach
was polluted by an oil spill.
The opening section of this book documents how we began
our discussion on matching research questions with methods of
analysis: several authors illustrated their approach by analyzing
the same text, namely the first chapter of Cervantes' book "Don Quixote." The various
methods and research results presented in this opening panel
provided an illuminating start for the ongoing discussions of how
to apply research methods that are appropriate to the research
question chosen.
Then, during intensive parallel workgroups, speakers presented
and discussed their individual papers in depth, using their
own work to exemplify how they matched methods and research
questions. The papers from these workgroups follow those
analyzing Cervantes.
Since a primary purpose of the Center for Qualitative
Psychology is for researchers in this field to collaborate and to
network, the third section of this issue of Qualitative Psychology
Nexus includes documents produced within roundtable discussions
at the workshop. These roundtables are a forum for
researchers to connect, to discuss common interests, and to begin
new joint projects.
