Generalization in Qualitative Research

摘要: Earlier treatments of moderatum generalization (e.g. Williams, 2000a) explicitly addressed interpretivist sociology. This article extends that earlier argument by examining some its implications for a wider range qualitative research methods. It first adopts an empirical approach, providing concrete illustrations from the most recent volume Sociology what sociologists actually do when describing meaning their findings. In light this, we reconsider significance practice and status sociological knowledge, in particular making case design should plan anticipated generalizations, be more formulated within context supporting evidence.
