Patient stories, narratives of resistance and the ethics of humane care
Over the past 20 years, the study of patient-physician relationships and the discourse of clinical encounters has become a major area of inquiry. Interest in these topics is closely linked to an ethic of humane care, reflecting widespread criticism of a technocratic approach to clinical practice. A narrow framing of this approach led to the neglect of a category of patients' socially grounded accounts of their illness and treatment experiences re…
Close encounters
Qualitative and quantitative research approaches reflect different 'world views' and raise different questions for inquiry. In this article, we map several prominent features of the landscape of qualitative research by presenting a range of research exemplars in the fields of medicine and health care that focus on process, that is, on 'What's going on?'. We include studies of: clinical encounters between patients and health care providers; patien…
Reclaiming SPSSI's Radical Promise
Studies of the impact of welfare reform reported in the Winter 2000 issue of JSI uniformly conclude that the results are mixed. Uncritically accepting the “official story” that success can be evaluated by the numbers of former welfare recipients who are working, the researchers, adopting a neutral “objective” perspective, focus on “barriers” to achieving this goal. We argue that this “honest broker” model, in which researchers provide “scientific…
Storylines
What do we mean when we refer to our identity, and how do we represent it in the stories we tell about our live? Is identity a sustained private core, or does it change as circumstances and relationships shift? In this book, a recognized master of research interviewing explores these questions through analyses of in-depth interviews with five crafts , who reflect on their lives and their efforts to sustain their form of work as committed artists …

Models of Narrative Analysis
The recent increase in the number of narrative studies in the human sciences is marked by great diversity in methods and theoretical perspectives. Researchers offer different answers to many questions, from what constitutes a narrative and how different genres may be specified to the aims and functions of storytell-ing. To clarify differences among approaches, a typology of models is proposed that focuses on which of three alternative problems ar…
Attending to patients' stories
Communication between patients and physicians is currently a significant topic in medical training programmes and in research on clinical practice. Physicians are encouraged, for example, to attend to patients' stories as ways of providing their concerns and understandings of their illnesses. However, there is little research on how storytelling is actually accomplished in the context of clinical encounters. Drawing on studies of medical discours…

Representing Discourse
Transcription is the general procedure used in studies of discourse to re-present speech as written text. Different notation systems have been proposed, and emphasis is often placed on achieving a high level of precision and accuracy of transcripts. In this article, transcription is treated as an instance of the general problem of the representation of reality that appears in diverse fields, such as photography and the biological and natural scie…
Validation in Inquiry-Guided Research
In this article Elliot Mishler reformulates validation as a process through which a community of researchers evaluates the "trustworthiness" of a particular study as the basis for their own work. Rather than relying for their assessments on an investigator's adherence to formal rules or standardized procedures, skilled researchers, Mishler argues, depend on their tacit understanding of actual, situated practices in a field of inquiry. Validity cl…
Critical Perspectives on Interviewing
Research Interviewing
Mishler presents a powerful critique of current views on research interviewing, and offers a new approach. He sees traditional interviewing as suppressing discourse and argues that an interview is actually a type of narrative in which respondents should have a more extensive role as participants and collaborators.

Meaning in Context
While the contextual grounding of the meanings of human action and language is vital to our everyday understanding of our own and others' behavior, the importance of context has been largely ignored by traditional research approaches in the social and behavioral sciences and in their application to the field of education. The positivist model, which has dominated these disciplines, has led to a search for universal context-free laws and to the us…

Studies in dialogue and discourse; an exponential law of successive questioning
The structure of natural conversations in first-grade classrooms is the focus of this inquiry. Analyses of a particular type of discourse, namely, connected conversations initiated and sustained by questioning, suggest that the probability that a conversation will be continued may be expressed as a simple exponential function. The formula, pi = ari−1, generates a curve of theoretically-expected rates of successive questions in a series that close…
Functions of Hesitations in the Speech of Normal Families and Families of Schizophrenic Patients
Sentences containing several types of hesitation, including pauses, repetitions and word fragments, were sampled from the interaction of families of schizophrenic and normal children. These were submitted to subjects who attempted to guess each successive word in the sentence. The degree to which words were correctly guessed was associated with the position of the word relative to the hesitation in the sentence. Differences were found in the pred…

Preferences in Size of Family and Eventual Fertility Twenty Years After
Assumptions frequently made as to the value for purposes of prediction of stated preferences in size of family and the reliability of the recall of original preferences are called into serious question. Data collected from a small panel of couples married nearly twenty years and living together reveal that, although the estimate from the initial average preference to the eventual aggregate number of children of the whole group is fairly accurate,…

Decision Processes in Psychiatric Hospitalization
A method for describing and analyzing selection decisions is applied to the problem of the acceptance and admission of patients referred to psychiatric hospitals. The model directs attention to the separate decision points that constitute the overall selection process and permits an examination of the relative importance of different variables at different points in this process. The total populations of referrals to two psychiatric hospitals ove…

Personality Characteristics and the Resolution of Role Conflicts
Although the relationship between personality and social behavior has long been a matter of central concern to social psychologists, few studies have been made in this area. The investigation reported here examines the effect of certain personality characteristics on the resolution of conflicting obligations—obligation to friends and obligations to social roles. The results emphasize the complex yet systematic relationship of the authoritarian pe…

Development of plans for a social psychological study of the future fertility of two-child families
Plans for a survey to “succeed” the Indianapolis Study are being developed in the United States. According to tentative plans, the new study will be concerned initially with some I, S oo native-white married women under 3 S years of age who reported a second birth 4–7 months prior to the interview. The sample will probably be drawn from selected “standard metropolitan areas”. The objective will be the discovery of factors associated with the occu…
