Use the following to answer questions Scenario II Scenario II presents fabricated data inspired by the following study: Rose, I. D., Friedman, D. B., Spencer, S. M., Annang, L. & Lindley, L. L. (2013). Health information-seeking practices of African American young men who have sex with men: a qualitative study. Youth and Society, doi: 10.1177/0044118X13491769 Rose and colleagues were interested in learning what sexual health practices are engaged in by homosexual African American young men. To that end, 42 men between the ages of 18 and 21 years were recruited from a local LGBT youth service in a Midwestern town to participate in the study. The men were randomly divided into six groups of seven. Each group met with an interviewer who facilitated a semistructured discussion to learn how accessible sexual health care information was, the methods the men used to obtain sexual health information, and how access to sexual health information may be improved. This information was recorded via audiotape and transcribed for analysis. Two independent researchers categorized and coded the data for emerging themes. The analyses revealed that men get their information about sexual health from a variety of sources. Informal sources included friends, family, and the Internet, and formal sources included medical professionals. The men reported a preference for obtaining information via the Internet or their parents, and reported that these sources are particularly helpful in providing information about sexually transmitted diseases. -(Scenario II) Which is NOT an advantage of using a recording device to collect qualitative data?

Use the following to answer questions Scenario I Scenario I presents fabricated data inspired by the following study: Callaghan, J. E., Gambo, Y. & Fellin, L. C. (2015). Hearing the silences: Adult Nigerian women's accounts of 'early marriages.' Feminism and Psychology, 25, 506-527. The purpose of this study was to understand the impact of early marriage on women's lives. To that end, the authors interviewed six Nigerian women who were married between the ages of 8 and 15 years. Each interview was conducted in the woman's own home and was designed to obtain insight into her perception of early marriage with regard to its impact on her childhood and identity as a woman. Interviews were recorded and transcribed for qualitative analysis. The results revealed that women felt their identities were defined by marriage and motherhood and that early marriage significantly disrupted their childhood experience. Women also reported that early marriage was traumatic to their childhood and something they were poorly prepared for. -(Scenario I) Suppose the researchers of the study described in Scenario I began their work with the hypothesis that early marriage is a traumatic event for women. They would be using the _____ approach.
