  4. Types of Narrative Research Forms jhkjh Biography Autobiography Ethnohistory Oral history Life writings are first hand stories and accounts of individuals and their relationship with society. Personal narratives are memories of an incident that is important in the person’s life, e.g. a car wreck, birth of child. Ethnobiography is used to learn about and understand culture. Person-centered ethnography is the relationship a person has with their sociocultural environment.

  5. Steps in Conducting Narrative Research • Identify research problem • Select participant • Collect story • Restory • Collaborate with participant • Write story • Validate accuracy of report (Creswell, J., 2012, pp. 513-516)

  6. Narrative Research Design Getting started • Record interview • Transcribe story • Retranscription by researcher • Restory by the researcher

  7. Example of the Process Transcript: Well, I know it wasn’t the first time but I remember this one most vividly. Almost…about a year ago, I had been trying to quit and I hadn’t smoked for about, I’d say about a moth or more, It think I just didn’t‘ want to do it anymore. There was this guy that I liked at McDonald’s, but he didn’t like me, he liked my best friend. We all worked at McDonald’s after school until close. Oh, wow, I had nicotine fits a lot. Sometimes you get shaky. Retranscipton: about a year ago, [s] I [c] had been trying to quit and I hadn’t smoked for about, I just didn’t want to do it anymore [p] was this guy [c], that I liked [a] at McDonald’s [s], but he didn’t like me, he liked my best friend [c] I had nicotine fits [c] a lot. You get shaky [a]. Restory by the Researcher: A year ago, I worked at McDonald’s and I didn’t buy cigarettes for about a month I had nicotine fits I got shaky Setting [s] Character [c] Actions [a] Problem [p] Resolution [r] (Creswell, 2010, p. 510)

  8. Evaluating Your Research • Keep focus on one participant (or two) • Report their experience through their story • Retell story chronologically • Describe context in detail • Report themes (typically 5-7) • Collaborate with participant (Creswell, 2012, p. 516)

  9. Narrative Research Design • Dilemmas in Narrative Research • Authentic • Recall • Fear of retribution • Story ownership • (Creswell, 2012, p. 512)
