Hourglass research structure (general observations/theory (cid:0) specific questions and goals (cid:0) specific research and methods (cid:0) broader conclusion of research (cid:0) general theories and observations) Difference between and within groups over time. Research question(s) (cid:0) theory/hypothesis (cid:0) design research (cid:0) devise measures of concepts (cid:0) select site and sample (cid:0) collect data (cid:0) analyse data (cid:0) findings/conclusions (cid:0) write up. Limitations: cannot offer the in depth specifics of qualitative, hypotheses may be hard to asses according to design, relatively good sample size may be difficult to fulfil. Why do we sample? (cid:0) time (cid:0) resource (cid:0) inaccessibility to some of population. Two main types of sampling: probability sampling.
