1/ Following the recent publication of a paper on online qualitative surveys with @ginnybraun @lgoatley @Elicia_Boulton & Charlotte McEvoy here's a thread of resources for qually survey research. Starting with that paper which is currently open access: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…
2/ And an accompanying blog about why qually surveys are awesome: ijsrm.org/2020/08/19/onl…
3/ @ginnybraun & I first wrote about qually surveys in our textbook Successful Qualitative Research - the companion website includes egs of surveys and survey datasets for use in teaching: uk.sagepub.com/en-gb/eur/succ…
4/ @ginnybraun & @GarethRTerry have a fab chapter on qually survey methods in my, Ginny & @DrDebraGray's co-edited book Collecting Qualitative Data: cambridge.org/core/books/col…
5/ Ginny, Debra & I wrote about qually surveys in a chapter on innovation in qualitative methods in The Palgrave Handbook of Critical Social Psychology edited by @BrendanGough7: palgrave.com/gp/book/978113…
6/ Check out this talk on qually surveys by @ginnybraun on my YouTube channel:
7/ If you've come across other methodological resources please do let us know! OK - some egs of empirical papers... a fab groundbreaking paper by Merran Torien & @sue_wilkinson on body hair removal: tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.119…
8/ Continuing the body hair theme - a paper by @GarethRTerry & @ginnybraun on male body hair removal discourse - a great eg of how qual survey data can be used to go beyond the experiential & interrogate discourse: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
9/ A final body hair one - this is the survey eg we use in our qual textbook - on pubic hair (Phew! Spotted the autocorrect to public) - includes a drawing task: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/03…
10/ Staying with appearance but shifting to health/medical research - @lgoatley @UWEHealthPsy & my paper on the lived experience of alopecia - includes the survey substantive questions in full: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.111…
11/ Another health eg from @DrAdamJowett & Elizabeth Peel who explore LGB people's experiences of chronic illness: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/09…
12/ When students objected to a gay pride t-shirt I wore in a lecture I was fascinated by their reaction & wanted to find out more - a qually survey enabled quick & anonymous data collection. The survey responses were amazing. Here's the first of 2 papers: journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.117…
13/ The first paper - above - responded to discussions around coming out in the classroom, the second to notions of modern heterosexism: tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.108…
14/ I've written a couple of papers with UG students based on their final year projects exploring LGB appearance practices & identity work - first, Megan Smith's project on gay & bisexual men: tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.108…
15/ And Katherine Spence's project on lesbians and bisexual women: tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.108…
16/ Continuing the sexuality & appearance theme @drnikkihayfield has used qual surveys to explore mostly heterosexual students'' perceptions of LGB appearance: tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.108…
17/ Hannah Frith & Kate Gleeson have published 2 fab papers based on data collected with students as part of a research methods lab on qually methods - this paper is on women's clothing practices: tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.108…
18/ Frith & Gleeson's qually survey paper on men's clothing practices: psycnet.apa.org/record/2004-10…
19/ Researchers have sometimes used qually surveys to extend the reach of interviews/give participants options for how they participate - here's an eg of this - a study of how adults with LGT parents make sense of having a queer/trans parent: tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.108…
