How does the research conducted by Brene Brown differ from quantitative research?

Brene Brown's research was conducted to retrieve in-depth information from participants while quantitative research lacks the in-depth factor. She also used the information gathered and made interpretations and found commonalities and differences than quantitative research could consider extraneous variables or lacking numerical value. Brene Browns used all the collected interviews to explore common reoccurring factors with great detail. These details of life struggles and resilience did not hold statistical (numerical) data but provided valuable information from real populations willing to share their story.

What qualitative techniques does she use?

Brene Browns used understandability and comparability to engage in research that held human life experiences with value. During her assessment of written and verbal interviews, she was active in the conversation for how shame is related to our fear of disconnection. She analyzed the information and found outliers and focused on the comparing qualities they shared. She held on to the data for several years before creating a theory about what it all means.

What are some advantages and disadvantages to Brown's approach?

Some disadvantages in Brown’s approach are that she too struggled with vulnerability and it did not feel like her to openly accept the emotions that can arise from vulnerability. I believe this bias made it difficult to initially grasp the value of vulnerability. An advantage to her approach is she gathers thousands of reports/interviews that helped guide her to narrow her thoughts on why things were happening and why embracing authenticity and feeling worthiness for love and belonging were so important. The depth of the stories provided knowledge of real-life experiences with a thorough understanding of how the details relate and differ from each other.

Short Essay 4 ; Give a detail information

Starting in middle school, Jon loved to “give kids flak” and “teach them a lesson.” He was constantly clowning around in class, pulling chairs out from under girls who were wearing skirts and sticking his foot out in the aisle when the class “nerd” went to ask the teacher his fifth question of the hour. Lots of kids had been exposed to Jon’s goofing, and usually everyone laughed when they were not the ones affected by his antics. Since elementary school, Mike has often been on the receiving end of Jon’s bullying. He had shoved into the shower with his clothes on, his clothes had disappeared during gym class and were found in the cafeteria, and he was taunted weekly about his height and weight. He was constantly feeling like his same-age peers bullied him with physical contact, harsh and degrading words and gestures, exploitation, and exclusion. By the end of middle school, Mike had no true friends. He had few acquaintances that he talked with during the day, many of whom were also victims of bullying. He usually ate his lunch by himself, as quickly as possible, and aimlessly wandered the hallways of the school.
