Abstract

ABSTRACT Thick descriptions, or densely textured facts, rely heavily on the articulated reflections of participants, however, there are few methodical approaches to thick description that maximize participant reflection for deeper and more meaningful descriptions. This article explores participatory methods of thick description for a collaborative, co-constructed meaning-making process between researchers and co-researcher participants using an exemplar study that examines how a community arts organization defines and describes social capital as contextualized in their environment. A four-phase participatory thick description method is developed using an exemplar project with a non-profit community arts organization that explored their meaning-making of social capital. The four phases are pre-study tasks of examining researcher positionality and role, collective reflection, reflective interviewing, and integration of thick descriptions across co-researcher participants. The significance of this study is the use of multi-layered reflective practices for richer and more contextualized thick descriptions and a collaborative approach that elevates the voice of co-researcher participants to limit the subjective interjections of the researcher. Limitations and future directions of the participatory thick description method are discussed.

参与式的厚描述:一种协作和反思的方法
摘要厚厚的描述,或纹理密集的事实,在很大程度上依赖于参与者的清晰反思,然而,很少有系统的方法来进行厚厚的描述来最大限度地提高参与者的反思,从而进行更深入、更有意义的描述。本文通过一项实证研究,探讨了研究人员和共同研究参与者之间合作、共同构建的意义形成过程的参与式厚描述方法,该研究考察了社区艺术组织如何在其环境中定义和描述社会资本。利用一个非营利社区艺术组织的示例项目,开发了一种四阶段参与式的厚描述方法,该项目探索了社会资本的意义制造。这四个阶段是研究前任务,即检查研究人员的立场和角色、集体反思、反思性访谈以及在共同研究参与者中整合厚厚的描述。这项研究的意义在于,使用多层反思实践来进行更丰富、更情境化的厚描述,并采用合作方法来提高共同研究者参与者的声音,以限制研究者的主观插话。讨论了参与式粗描述方法的局限性和未来的发展方向。

期刊介绍: Qualitative Research in Psychology is an international, peer-reviewed journal that publishes high-quality, original research. It aims to become the primary forum for qualitative researchers in all areas of psychology, including cognitive, social, developmental, educational, clinical, health, and forensic psychology. The journal also welcomes psychologically relevant qualitative research from other disciplines. It seeks innovative and pioneering work that advances the field of qualitative research in psychology. The journal has published state-of-the-art debates on various research approaches, methods, and analytic techniques, such as discourse analysis, interpretative phenomenological analysis, visual analyses, and online research. It has also explored the role of qualitative research in fields like psychosocial studies and feminist psychology. Additionally, the journal has provided informative articles on ethics, transcription, interviewee recruitment, and has introduced innovative research techniques like photovoice, autoethnography, template analysis, and psychogeography. While the predominant audience consists of psychology professionals using qualitative research methods in academic, clinical, or occupational settings, the journal has an interdisciplinary focus. It aims to raise awareness of psychology as a social science that encompasses various qualitative approaches. In summary, Qualitative Research in Psychology is a leading forum for qualitative researchers in psychology. It publishes cutting-edge research, explores different research approaches and techniques, and encourages interdisciplinary collaboration.
