While personal perspective undoubtedly enables messages to be relatable and thus well received, personal perspectives are not without take-backs. Three take-a-ways from a personal perspective include bias, limited scope, and credibility.
A qualitative questionnaire can be used to gather facts about an individual’s beliefs, feelings and experiences. For example, asking a resident if they think lead is dangerous can get answered with both a positive and negative response. A positive response is “I’ve lived here for 37 years, raised two healthy sons…” contradicted with a negative response “I’ve lived here for 35 years as well, but now I’m the one with a child whose blood level is 31.5…”. Therefore, a qualitative questionnaire is appropriate when trying to understand an individual’s
The Effects People Don’t See Perspective is something that many people view differently in this world, some people may never know what it's like being put through hard circumstances and different experiences. But sometimes people never get to share or tell their perspective. This is relevant to soldiers because people never see the bravery or courage it took them in war and out of war. However, Vietnam was a civil war where it came to the needs of American assistance also why it's called the “American war” Tim’ O'Brien the author of The Things They Carried is in this war physically and emotionally, the battles he and his platoon had to go through experienced many different emotions. Tim O’Brien illustrates how soldiers go through
For example, fellow musicians may see me as more demanding as I want things done in certain ways in my music. I may come across more intellectual and quiet to my friends in which I share classes with and more outgoing and honest to friends that I speak to on a regular basis outside of school. It seems natural to be more open, sharing problems and experiences, to people I encounter regularly. A lot of times I believe my variation in communication is a subconscious act that I only sometimes consciously pick up on. In this way, I relate to Amy Tan communicating in a different English with her non-native mother than she would with other people
Everybody has unconscious bias. But what role does it play in our daily lives? And how does it affect us? In the TED talk “What Does My Headscarf Mean to You”, speaker Yassmin Abdel-Magied aims to encourage the audience to acknowledge that everyone has unconscious bias, and to look past their own bias in order to promote equal opportunity, particularly when it comes to the workplace. “We all have our own biases.

This discussion is not about how you score, but about personal discovery. In other words, the focus of this discussion is about what you learn about yourself. You also do NOT need to share your score with your academic coach. How can you address these personal biases in your professional nursing practice?
When preparing to enter the health care field, it is important to be mindful of one’s own lack of or limited cultural competency, but unlearning biases is another important factor in this process. Biases, stereotypes, and prejudices are all taught to every person starting at a young age, and get reinforced through media and social influences later on. These biases often operate within a person subconsciously, leading to a person making assumptions about or avoiding people of a certain ethnic group without even realizing it. When one becomes aware of these biases and how prevalent they are without a person realizing it, they can then work on combatting them. When one lets stereotypes shape how one views others, it can seriously damage their
According to Miller (2010) quantitative findings formulate generalizations that bring forth universal laws based on data from samples that represent certain populations. Qualitative findings, on the contrary, do not generalize by applying findings from a sample group and applying it to entire populations. Instead qualitative studies provide information about real life human experiences to audiences who can then apply these findings in their everyday life. For example nurses can apply findings from qualitative studies to improve their nursing practice. Beck (2004) research methodology utilized a qualitative approach using the inductive method called descriptive phenomenology.
These social biases come in contact with people on a daily basis, whether it is universally or locally. Biased individuals believe the prejudices they are applying to others are right without regard for the truth. Prejudice, stereotyping, and discrimination are all somewhat similar, but each form of bias is performed with a different focus. These detrimental encounters have impacted our society greatly. Social Justice: Stereotyping
I asked my interviewee “What their religion was?”, “What do they identify as?”, and If they have ever been discriminated against based on their religion and race. My first interviewee was a Caucasian male, who identifies as Christian, and hasn’t been discriminated against because he lived in a predominately Caucasian area. My next interviewee is another white male, who identifies as Catholic, and has been discriminated against by mainly atheist. My third subject was and African woman, who identify as Muslim and wears a head covering, but hasn’t been discriminated against because people never know she is Muslim, they think she is just another black face. My next subject was a Sikh woman, who is Punjabi (Sikhism), and hasn’t been discriminated against because people think she is Pakistani.
However, critics of qualitative research say it is time consuming, intellectually fatiguing and depends for its success upon the ability of the investigator. But, it is expected of a researcher to act responsibly and professionally to minimise errors especially common in qualitative research. In my case, indeed I had to dedicate valuable time and sobered up to the task of having to understand the different data that came my way. I was as open-minded as possible to avoid biases in the research process. I made sure respondents felt free as much as they could, without creating an artificial outlook or environment that could create a boundary between them and myself, because the artificial environment makes the respondents say what you want to
Introduction Qualitative research are those kind of researches that an outcome is obtained without the application of statistical methods of data analysis (Strauss and Corbin, 1990 cited in Golafshani, 2003). However, the qualitative research takes a direct approach, where the researchers arrive at a conclusion through the observation of events as they occur naturally without external interferences (Golafshani, 2003). Ethical and methodological issues may arise, therefore in order to demonstrate the legitimacy of Qualitative research it is important to integrate rigour and trustworthiness. Potential ethical issues There is the need to take into consideration ethical issues that may arise from conducting qualitative researches.
3. QUALITATIVE RESEARCH THEORY 3.1 QUALITATIVE RESEARCH Qualitative research is a form of research in which the researcher collects and interprets data, meaning the researcher is as important in the research process as the participants and the data they provide. Reason and Rowan (2004) have argued that the core element of a qualitative research approach is to connect meanings to the experiences of respondents and their lives. According to Clissett (2008) qualitative research involves a variety of research methods that can be used to explore human experience, perceptions, motivations and behaviours. Qualitative research is characterised by collection and analysis of words in the form of speech or writing.
Bias is prejudice about someone or something which has been created based on incomplete information. More often bias has a negative effect as it affects other people, our way of thinking that could be driven into stereotypes frame. Every day we face with a huge number of biases and some of us even do not know about the existence of them. If it gets to that point when something suffers from it, people need to overcome biases. There are a lot of examples of biases in our world.
