able to recognize the experience as their own and find the truth of the research findings. The researchers stated that, “additional use of reflection and rephrasing of the interviewer’s understanding of comments served as a form of member checking (validating the interviewer’s interpretation with the participant) to increase credibility of the data (Wysong & Driver, 2009, p. 28). Additionally, the researchers conducted an 8-months period to study the phenomenon in order to fully understand the…
Abstract The purpose of this experiment was for the researcher to study one of the process of digestion which is absorption, and seeing if starch and glucose could diffuse through the dialysis tubing, and could the two be absorbed by the small intestines, and if so or not, why? To begin, in this experiment, the researchers gathered different solutions, such as, starch and glucose, filling half of each mixtures in a single dialysis tube. The researchers carefully then rinsed and pat dry the…
Question 1 – Describe the theory the researchers explore. What are the key constructs in the theory? How are they related? Identify which ones are cause, effect, mediating, or moderating constructs. How are the constructs operationalized? The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs health system has been under scrutiny in recent years due to the lack of appointments available for Veterans.

Radical humanist paradigm is located within the subjectivist and radical change dimensions. Here researcher concerned with changing the status quo and adopt ontological perspective. For example if in any organization employees are habitual of working manually than researcher work on it and explain them that work with…
is of benefit that the researcher has limited knowledge of the topic so that creativity in finding new theories is not limited (Smith & Davis, 2015). Further to this Henwood and Pidgeon (2015) advised that a new researcher using ground theory might struggle to provide the analysis the data needs. With the researchers having personal knowledge of this topic and being a new researcher it would be more appropriate to follow the IPA method of…
study of small-scale, traditional, isolated societies, although it is now widely used by practitioners of many disciplines in all kinds of research settings (Angrosino, 2007). Ethnography is a plan of action or strategy of investigation in which the researcher studies an intact cultural group over a prolonged period of time in a naturalistic setting to understand research problems on the basis of how people's values and beliefs direct their actions and therefore understanding those actions…
