Qualitative diary research is a unique tool with strengths that set
it apart from other research methods. The diary prioritizes events
embedded in context and time, a perspective that serves to
destabilize constants, revealing the complex intersectionality of
experience. Over the last several centuries, the mechanics of
diary-keeping have evolved from simple records of ephemera into a
primary research method. Today both archival and solicited diaries
are used by social scientists who employ a range of qualitative,
quantitative, and mixed-method data collection technologies.
Researchers may consider the very possibility of conducting a
qualitative diary study with some hesitation-in addition to
sounding like a good deal of work, the method seems somewhat off
the beaten path, a bit mysterious, and even kitschy. With a better
understanding of what is involved, those who are considering the
method may come to find that a diary study is well worth their
while. In Diary Methods, Laurie L. Hyers provides her readers with
a wealth of guidance and expert insight to ensure the success of
their qualitative diary studies. The history of the diary from
cultural phenomenon to social scientific method are explored,
followed by a discussion of the use of archival and solicited
diaries in qualitative designs, diary data collection and
management, qualitative analysis and coding, composition and diary
report writing, evaluating diary research, and special ethical
considerations when using diaries in research.
