Triangulation and Confirmation in the Study of Welsh Concepts of Personhood
In anthropology, triangulation, or the use of multiple methods and sources of data, is usually practiced within a single study, rather than between different studies. Unusual, too, are attempts to confirm results of earlier studies, rather than reinterpret them in competing frameworks. In this article we use systematic interviewing and consensus analysis to test the results of an earlier participant observation study of five Welsh concepts of per…
Work and Success in a De-industrialized English Region
Using Consensus Analysis to Measure Cultural Diversity in Organizations and Social Movements
Consensus analysis, a technique developed in cognitive anthropology for analyzing structured interview data, produces three useful results: (1) a measure of the degree of agreement among informants about a domain of knowledge, belief, or practice; (2) the "culturally correct" information about that domain according to the pooled answers of the informants; and (3) a score for each informant representing that person's knowledge of the domain. Conse…

In the course of my research on the organizational histories of small high-technology firms in peripheral regions of the United Kingdom, I came into frequent contact with various small-business support organizations, including colleges of further education, innovation centers, enterprise trusts, enterprise zones, and outreach programs from university business schools.

He also details the theory and evidence for the importance of moralnets in preventing or ameliorating social problems. One inference untested by Naroll is that Norway, a model socie…
