Journaling is a rigorous qualitative research tool and a process for self-examination. It allows you to inquire into the meaning, intention, desire, methodological choices, and personal ego of yourself as the researcher in this most intensive exploration of the experiences of your participants. If you expect your participants to share deeply, consider that you have to reflect deeply as well. A journal is a perfect place to explore questions such as the following: How am I…? Why am I…? Where am I…? What do I do now? Journaling and the use of the journal as a source of data contribute to the transparency of the research process as a means of keeping your biases “in check.” Journaling also provides an opportunity to keep track of your own transformation.
A journal can be written (words, drawings, collage), audio, or video. In this course, you will have the opportunity to try out several approaches, with recommended guidelines for each weekly entry. You are also encouraged to go beyond the guidelines if you feel compelled to do so. Note: For information on submitting videos to the online classroom, review the Kaltura Media Uploader page, which is located on the course navigation menu. To prepare for this Journal: Read about using reflective journaling in the article by Ortlipp (2008), found in this week’s Learning Resources. Reflect on the following statement as a broad consideration for social change as a research lens: Rapid social change and the resulting diversification of life worlds are increasingly confronting social researcher with new social contexts and perspectives…thus research is increasingly forced to make use of inductive strategies instead of starting from theories and testing them…knowledge and practice are studied as local knowledge and practice. (Flick, 2002, p. 2)

Consider your intrinsic motivation for pursuing your chosen research topic. In other words, ask yourself why you have chosen to pursue this topic. Consider how your intrinsic motivation aligns with Walden’s mission of social change. In other words, to what social change do you hope the results of your study will contribute? As you consider this, recall the following directive: Think globally, act locally! Consider if there is anything else you would like to reflect on in this video journal entry. Introduce yourself to your classmates and share your thoughts based on your considerations of the five points you explored to prepare for this journal.
The frame work of my qualititative Research is below Social Problem: Rape is a form of sexual assault against a person without consent (Verboom et al., 2014). In most cases, physical force is used by a more energetic person against a vulnerable person, after which the victim becomes traumatized and often falls into depression. Qualitative Research Problem The community does not understand the perceptions of rape victims, who have become clinically depressed, perceptions about the services they receive during their depression. Qualitative Research Purpose This qualitative study aims to understand the perceptions of rape victims, who have become clinically depressed, about the services they receive during their depression. Qualitative Research Question What are the perceptions of rape victims, who have become clinically depressed, about the services they receive during their depression? Theory or Conceptual Framework:
The psychoanalytic theory Freud’s psychoanalysis theory illustrates the methods and techniques used in the description, the investigation method, character development, defense mechanism, and the psychological stage of development (McLeod, 2019). Sigmund Freud is the founder of psychoanalysis and means analysis of the mind, and he developed a specific analytical method. Freud believes the analytical method is associated with an unconscious psychological barrier as it cannot find the physical cause of the patient’s symptoms (McLeod, 2019). Qualitative Research Design: Narrative Analysis I intend to use this approach to analyze the different stories and perceptions of the study participants. I will engage the participants by asking them a given set of questions that are narrative nature. This approach will help me to understand how the participants depict their experiences to themselves and others. Qualitative Sampling Strategy: Maximum variation sample Using this sampling method will allow me to investigate a wide variety of participants to capture as many responses as possible. For my target population, I want my sample to be as representative as possible.
The advocacy group or interest group will be my best source of sampling. Sampling Criteria This can also be tagged eligibility criteria. These criteria are a critical component of research, as they define the sample population under investigation. These criteria are often tailored to allow assessments of the effectiveness of a treatment in a well-defined population. Sampling criteria specify the characteristics required for study participation. For this study, my sampling criteria are: ·
