- W43594340 abstract "The paper opens with a report of studies carried out on natural father and stepfather incestuous families, and this opens up the issue of the appropriateness of both types of research methodologies. Differences found in the types of incest, and responses of families to treatment, illustrate findings that would not have been uncovered had either methodology been used to the exclusion of the other. The argument is made that the dichotomization of quantitative and qualitative techniques is both misleading and unnecessary. The methodological issues are rather ones of judgment about what will yield needed information in a given investigation. The paper gives some attention too, to the related issue of which methodological approaches are appropriate when a fresh line of inquiry is beginning in a field; and mention is made of an obvious issue that arises in dealing with incest -the handling of sensitive research problems. The purpose of this paper iu to illustrate how the combined use of qualitative and quantitative methods were necessary in obtaining a clearer understanding of the process of incest within this society. The contention is that the use of one methodology at the exclusion of the other would not only have reduced the results but would have actually obscured important information. Each method raised questions that were then pursued by the other. The debate in the literature about the epistemological basis of these two methodologies has been persistent. (Smith & Heshusiust 1986) Not infrequently they have been dichotomized, with the apparent assumption that the epistemological differences force researchers to choose one or the other accepting the imputed advantages of one with a loss of the imputed advantages of the other. My position is that we can, and often need to combine methods, shifting frames of reference between the two orientations. Like Goetz and Le Compte, / do not see the two as mutually exclusive dichotomies. (1984:7) The study / talk about here is an example of generating propositions through qualitative means, verifying them quantitatively, and moving back again to qualitative methods in order to build a coherent and understandable picture of the phenomena under study. The problem was to find out what incest is and to identify the systems of meaning surrounding this particular rule violation. The study was to be an ethnographic account of the process of incest within this society. The first task was to identify a sufficient number of discovered cases of incest sc that the participants and others in" @default.
