- to gain a better understanding of what being a father means to parents and children living in deprived areas, in a range of ethnic groups, in a modern multicultural Britain. - to know there is a common model of fatherhood that applies to families living in deprived areas. - to understand that the role of the traditional breadwinner (father) is changing into a more multi-dimensional role where fathers take some responsibility in the care of children and participating in child-rearing activities.

Reliability: being able to repeat data multiple times in order to generate similar findings. Validity: when data creates a true picture of social reality. |
Reliability is not whether it is reliable.. Validity is not whether it is valid.. |

INTERPRETIVISTS |
Favour qualitative data.. - gain rich, valid deep textual data which helps explore meanings and understanding behind behaviour and motives. - gain VERSTEHEN - respondents "open up" more when in a comfortable environment hence interviews held in family homes. - data is thematically analysed. - data collected from time use diaries is objective and value free and parents and children filled them in themselves. - interviews were filmed so there is no need on relying on memory as true implications can be heard and seen. |
They like data that provide MEANINGS... |
|
|
POSITIVISTS |
Favour data that has a quantitative approach... - like data that provides a simple cause and effect - like data that doesn't waste valuable time and resources - like to make generalisations - |
