QUALITATIVE PSYCHOSOCIAL
RESEARCH
The characteristic features about qualitative psychosocial
research are –
 It is naturalistic – the psychosocial domains to studied in a natural
setting, inductive – non-evaluative and holistic.
 The focus of understanding is – the unique characteristics of groups
or individuals and the meanings that they attribute to different life
experiences or events.
 Qualitative research also aims at understanding the study population,
rather than generalizing it.
 Qualitative research is less descriptive and more intense than
quantitative research.
