A Practical Guide for Applied Research (3rd edition) JF - Forum Qualitative Sozialforschung / Forum: Qualitative Social Research JA - FQS VL - 3 IS - 4 SE - Methodology and Methods DO - 10.17169/fqs-3.4.791 UR - https://www.qualitative-research.net/index.php/fqs/article/view/791 SP - AB - KRUEGER and CASEY have prepared a handbook for planning, preparing for, and carrying out focus group studies. A work apparently aimed at an audience of novices, Focus Groups lacks solid theoretical grounding, promotes substituting idiosyncratic phrasing for technical terms more commonly used in the field, and overlooks or minimizes focus group advantages for evoking structured surprise and revealing target-audiences' linguistic constructions.URN: urn:nbn:de:0114-fqs0204280 ER -
