This paper considers the application of a micro-analytic approach to critically explore how a Muslim women’s Sister’s Circle (SC), based at a British university, interactionally resists discourses of Islamophobia and othering through humour. I reflect on how I navigated methodological tensions during my PhD, specifically around context in Conversation Analysis (CA; Schegloff, 1997), and explore the benefits of synthesising CA with other critical approaches. Through applying an EM/CA informed discourse analytic approach, this paper showcases how the SC employs humour as a tool for subversion to discursively ‘undo’ othering and reject victimhood. Humour serves as a tool to reverse a social order that otherwise positions Muslims as ‘other’. In summation, this paper argues that applying a synthesised micro-analytic approach enriches the analysis and discussion of implications, demonstrating the benefits of applying such an approach to the study of how (racially) minoritized communities (re)produce and respond to their respective realities.

ABSTRACT Qualitative research in psychology can often maintain standards and assumptions from positivistic and experimental methodologies. Sometimes these issues are well argued against or around logically in literature, often abstractly, but cases of methodological consideration with real cases are rarer. This discussion aims to help methodological reflection and learning by presenting a case of multiple intersecting methodological considerations. The methods included a content analysis completed on interviews with women related to men participating in a violence and intervention trial. This paper presents the limitations and methodological considerations during analysis as a detailed discussion. Considerations arose from assumptions in the research design, interpreter use and leading questions. The discussion describes considerations and solutions depending on the scope required – here working with women in or near contexts of violence. Hopefully, a demonstration of full considerations within such a project encourages similar case-based examinations of research.

ABSTRACT The effective use of probing in research interviews is central to eliciting rich, deep data from participants. Probing achieves access to this extra level of detail and depth via verbal prompts to clarify, elaborate, illustrate or explain a prior answer to an interview question that the participant has already given. This article presents a four-part theoretical framework of narrative theory, self-disclosure theory, autobiographical memory theory and attribution theory, which together provide a sense-making structure for why probing works and why it is important to research interviews. I then summarise a taxonomic model, entitled the DICE approach to probing. DICE is an acronym that stands for four types of probe based on first letters: 1. Descriptive Detail Probes, 2. Idiographic Memory Probes, 3. Clarifying Probes, 4. Explanatory Probes. This is followed by a critical consideration of probing in relation to Yardley’s evaluation criteria for qualitative research.

ABSTRACT We introduce the Workable Ranges Model (WRM) as a visual map and method for enacting and exploring embodied knowing about stress and emotion regulation. The WRM portrays three core psychophysical states in spatial form. Optimal and flexible regulated states are positioned centrally between two lines representing thresholds of tolerance beyond which are hyperarousal above and hypoarousal below. In developing the WRM as a method of embodied enquiry, we focus on visual techniques of mapping and time-lining. To illustrate the potential of the WRM as a map and method for ‘drawing out’ embodied knowing in research participants, we describe two phases of research in which the facilitation of first-person enquiry for therapeutic purposes doubled as data generation. We then consider how the WRM might be expanded as a research tool across fields interested in similar phenomena including occupational and health psychology, sports science, and food and nutrition. In so doing, we explore three shared methodological features of our example study: (i) visual presentation of the WRM; (ii) facilitated first-person embodied enquiry; and, (iii) multiple data-collection points. The research methods presented could have wide application to describe and understand trajectories to, and experience of, conditions affected by stress and emotion dysregulation.

ABSTRACT The development of qualitative research approaches that are embedded within a Tongan worldview and associated relational practices is pivotal to enhancing knowledge of, and culturally-informed responses to violence within the Tongan kainga (family). We are currently in the early stages of such developments. This reflexive methodological article draws conceptual insights and cultural concepts from the exemplar of a Tongan faith-based family violence prevention programme, which was developed by Tongan community practitioners in Aotearoa New Zealand. We document the adaptation of Tauhi va (nurturing loving and harmonious relationships), Nofo (indigenous cultural immersion), and Talanoa (Pacific indigenous ways of dialogue and discussion) in the design and documenting of this culturally-embedded response to such violence. Elsewhere, we have documented the violence programme in question and its implications for participating families, and the broader faith-based community and leaders. In this article we present a Tongan methodology that we hope is used for other scholar activists also engaged in participative action-oriented research within Tongan and other Indigenous communities more broadly.
