Question: If a research team is designing a qualitative observational study to investigate patient experiences in an emergency room, how should they apply the specific data collection and data analysis methods used in Rosenhan's psychiatric ward study to their project?

Sample answer: The team should collect nonnumerical data by having researchers act as patients to write notes about their experiences and gather hospital records. They must then analyze this data using written descriptions supported by concrete examples of emergency room events rather than executing a statistical evaluation.

Key points:

  • Apply the researcher role of acting as patients to collect data.
  • Gather nonnumerical data via written notes of experiences and hospital records.
  • Analyze the data using written descriptions and concrete examples rather than statistical evaluations.

Rubric: Grading Rubric: - 3 points for applying the data collection method (nonnumerical data like written notes of experiences and hospital records). - 3 points for applying the researcher role (acting as patients/participants). - 4 points for applying the analysis method (written descriptions and concrete examples instead of statistical evaluation).
