Question

What is a good response/explanation to the following: Would you be agree/disagree to this research?

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.

Answer 1

Berne Brown is a research professor. She has done qualitative research on the topic of Vulnerability and how shame is related to our fear of disconnection.

Through qualitative research, she had gathered in-depth information from various members of society. The qualitative research methods include interviews, focused groups, observation, case studies, written accounts of past events, and secondary data like diaries. She had collected the relevant details for her study of human life.

The quantitative research method confirms theories and assumptions through mathematical and statistical data that is based on numbers and the results are presented in the form of graphs and tables.

Her method of collecting does not hold numbers it hot the real everyday real stories and considers these stories as data with a soul. She collected all the information analyzed in detail and prepared her theory by focusing on comparing qualities.

She did not publish her data for a decade because she also felt vulnerable and she found it difficult to share her emotions. From the study of these real-life interviews, she came to a conclusion when people feel shame they disconnect themselves from society they become lonely and vulnerable. To avoid vulnerability one should have the feeling of authenticity, and worthiness of love. To have a good and peaceful life one should have love and worthiness. It was the data she gathered after interviewing many people and collected their real-life stories.

Her qualitative research gives in-depth information that there are many vulnerable people and they are ready to share their stories and when they get empathetic ear they pour their heart out and on these stories, it can be well established that people required to be loved and worthy.

We should agree to her research because human feelings cannot be calculated on numbers through the quantitative method of graphing and table, it requires to be studied in depth with the human soul because the other gives their stories with belief that it would help others.
