Question 9

Which of the following statements is true about the use of analogies when analyzing qualitative data?

Accepted Answer

A)  Analogies involve repeated iterations where a researcher repeatedly moves back and forth between the empirical data and abstract concepts, ideas, or models in order to better reflect the evidence. 
B)  Analogies are used in instances where the researcher wishes to make dramatic contrasts or highlight distinctive features as a way of drawing attention to what is considered to be specific and unique. 
C)  Analogies are used in cases where the researcher-author wishes to "disappear" from the analysis in order to present the concrete details in chronological order as if they were the product of a unique and naturally unfolding series of events. 
D)  Analogies are used for helping make sense of or explain data by referring to a deep structure or an underlying mechanism. 
E)  Analogies are a type of empirical evidence that help to illustrate or anchor a theory.
