This volume explores the use and relevance of qualitative methods
for the study of quality of life. It analyzes the role of
qualitative researcher and the role of the context and the culture
in quality of life studies. It presents the use of qualitative
methods in real projects carried out in specific fields: geography,
health, community studies, labor life and yoga. Finally, the book
proposes the use of mixed methods that are considered as the third
methodological approach in social research. The main purpose of
using qualitative methods is to understand what it means for
participants to be involved in certain events, situations and
actions. Such methods help understand the context in which
participants act and the influence of that context on their
actions. The decision to use a particular methodology implies a
philosophic, theoretical and political decision. Qualitative
methodology constitutes an approach that is essential for
understanding people's experiences of well-being and discovering
new issues related to quality of life.
