Participant observation is the foundation of ethnographic research
design and supports and complements other types of qualitative and
quantitative data collection. Qualitative research in such diverse
areas as anthropology, sociology, education, medicine draws on the
insights gained through the use of participant observation. The
authors have written a guide to the collection of systematic data
in naturalistic settings - communities in many different cultures -
to achieve an understanding of the most fundamental processes and
patterns of social life. This book serves as a basic primer for the
beginning researcher and as a useful reference and guide for
experienced researchers in many fields who wish to reexamine their
own skills and abilities in light of best practices of participant
observation. This new edition includes discussions of participant
observation in nontypical settings, such as the Internet,
participant observation in applied research, and ethics of
participant observation. It also explores in greater depth the use
of computer-assisted analysis of textual data in issues of sampling
and in linking method with theory.
