Analysing qualitative data - Rigour and Reflexivity
It's interesting to see this blog entry "people don't always say what they mean, or mean what they say" on QualitativeMind.
It actually reminds us to be Rigour and Reflexivity in qualitative data analysis.

Characteristics of grounded theorist
Strauss and Corbin (1998: 7) offered a list of the "characteristics of a grounded theorist":
- The ability to step back and critically analyze situations
- The ability to recognize the tendency toward bias
- The ability to think abstractly
- Sensitivity to the words and actions of respondents
- A sense of absorption and devotion to the work process.
