Which conceptual analysis point of the framework for rigor used for interpretive phenomenology refers to how the study findings will continue to have meaning for the reader?
- A.
Resonance
- B.
Concreteness
- C.
Actualization
- D.
Openness
Correct Answer
C. ActualizationExplanation
Actualization refers to how the study findings will continue to have meaning for the reader.

Which question will critique the credibility of a research project?
- A.
Is the strategy used for analysis compatible with the purpose of the study?
- B.
Does the researcher document the research process?
- C.
Are the researcher’s conceptualizations true to the data?
- D.
Has adequate time been allowed to understand fully the phenomenon?
Correct Answer
D. Has adequate time been allowed to understand fully the phenomenon?Explanation
This question critiques the credibility of a research project by questioning whether enough time has been allowed to fully understand the phenomenon being studied. This suggests that the credibility of the research may be compromised if the researcher has not allocated sufficient time to gather and analyze data, potentially leading to incomplete or inaccurate findings.Rate this question:

Which question will critique the auditability of a research project?
- A.
Is the strategy used for analysis compatible with the purpose of the study?
- B.
Does the researcher document the research process?
- C.
Are the researcher’s conceptualizations true to the data?
- D.
Has adequate time been allowed to fully understand the phenomenon?
Correct Answer
B. Does the researcher document the research process?Explanation
The question "Does the researcher document the research process?" will critique the auditability of a research project. Documentation of the research process is crucial for auditability as it allows for transparency and verification of the methods and procedures used in the study. It enables other researchers to replicate the study and assess the reliability and validity of the findings. Without proper documentation, the research project lacks credibility and cannot be audited effectively.Rate this question:
