Summary:

"Qualitative approaches have become accepted and indeed embraced as empirical methods within the social sciences, as scholars have realized that many of the phenomena in which we are interested are complex and require deep inner reflection and equally penetrating examination. Quantitative approaches often cannot capture such phenomena well through their standard methods (e.g., self-report measures), so qualitative designs using interviews and other in-depth data-gathering procedures offer exciting, nimble, and useful research approaches. This series of books present a range of qualitative approaches that seemed most exciting and illustrative of the range of methods appropriate for social science research. Through this series, readers have the opportunity to learn qualitative research methods from those who developed the methods and/or who have been using them successfully for years. The authors provide tips for the research process and for writing a manuscript emerging from a study that used the method. This book explains qualitative meta-analyses in detail. For years, a critique of qualitative research was the absence of a way to aggregate findings across studies. Now that the field has matured and many studies have been conducted, researchers have begun to develop methods for aggregating the findings from these studies. Given their considerable experience conducting qualitative research, as well as qualitative meta-analyses, the authors are well positioned to help us understand how to conduct a qualitative meta-analysis. Their many examples help prepare readers to conduct meta-analyses and thus advance the field even further."--Preface (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved).
