  1. Book 1

            1. link to historical approach
          2. CONS
            1. 1) audio and visual only provide a glimpse of what is within shot, there is always more going on

                  1. Margaret Mead in Samoa
                    1. 4) It is up to the researcher to decide what is relevant when transcribing notes etc. Their perception or role they impose upon themselves as researcher will influence this

                        1. conclusions may be generalised. A process of inference is in place - from sample to population
                          1. HELEN kAVAPULA - childhood punishment in Tongo (bk 1 p195)

                    1. used to indicate frequency of an event as well as degree to which objects posess an attribute

                            1. 2) using standards means that results can be compared with other studies which allows for greater accuracey
                              1. 3) personal bias can be avoided
                          2. cons
                            1. 1) research often carried out in unnatural enviro which can impact results obtained
                              1. 2) collect a much narrower dataset
                                1. 3)standardised questions can lead to false representation of subject as it illicts answers to very specific thhings, discounting everything else
                                  1. results are limited as they provide numerical data rather than bio data
                            2. what is role of research to document or evaluate. link to role of researcher in chap 6 bk 4
                            3. Difficulties researching children
                              1. There are limits on the adult researchers ability to fully understand the cultural influences which affect children's lives
                                1. Barriers to understanding Owain Jones 2001 (bk 1 p297)
                                2. there is a danger that adults will assume having been a child they understand all childhood life experiences. They forget that each experience is personal
                                  1. can forget the differences gender, class, age, ethnicity, locale make to the childhood experience
                                  2. adopting a documentary stance does not mean adopting a cultural relativist view point
