 Evans Report: Qualitative Research Teaching
Qualitative research has been described as ‘the interpretative study of a specified issue or problem in which the researcher is central to the sense that is made’ (Parker, 1994, p.2).
What is now commonly termed ‘qualitative research’ can be traced to Dilthey who, in 1883 argued that the human being (especially the psyche) is qualitatively different to the subject matter of the natural sciences, which is physically and materially measurable (Polkinghorne, 1983).
Given the broad distinction between qualitative and quantitative paradigms, a variety of different epistemologies, which in turn inform an endless variety of practices, are evident within the qualitative research tradition (Hammersley, 1996; Jacobs, 1989; Smith, 1996).

Qualitative research is growing apace in education, nursing, cultural studies, feminist studies, and of course in anthropology and sociology.
Qualitative research, as I view it, is a systematic effort to find commonalities in lived worlds through study of individuals' observed or reported states or situations.
Unfortunately, most psychology research is based on 19th Century epistemology, specifically a philosophical stance that knowledge is of material that can be known as it really is. When we speak of human-science psychology we refer to a psychology that acknowledges the life-worlds of both human subjects and researchers.

Of particular interest to sexuality researchers will be Chapter 6, Bailey, Foote and Throckmorton's "Human Sexual Behavior: A Comparison of College and Internet Surveys."

In other words, the emerging trend seems to be that Internet research does not cure the problems of modern sexuality research, but it does not necessarily present new ones, either.

 Scott Taylor's Research in Ecopsychology
This seems especially true when compared to the overwhelming volumes of research material which attempts to study the psychology and behavior of people in a vacuum, as it were, that is, strictly within the confines and context of the human-built, social or cultural environment.
Indeed, the neglect of the psychological study of humans within the larger context of the natural environment, including non-human life forms and landscape, is tantamount to ignoring any other important developmental aspect of psychological life such as, the psycho-social interaction of siblings or other identity forming relationships.
With this in mind studies such as this one may represent a new trend in psychological insight in that it is an effort to expand the context of psychological inquiry to re-include the entire matrix or web of life in which we find ourselves.
