以艺术为基础的研究方法为社会科学家提供了丰富的技术集合，以吸引经常被排除在更传统形式的研究之外的参与者。这些方法包括绘画、诗歌、摄影、绘画和舞蹈等技巧，帮助参与者接触和交流他们经历中深层的、也许是无意识的意义。虽然这些结果对于背景化经验是理想的，但需要对使用基于艺术的研究方法进行更多的指导。虽然艺术可以单独用于数据的提取，但它们也可以以综合的方式使用-与叙事访谈等方法相结合。社会科学家在数据收集、分析和展示中使用基于艺术的方法。本文描述了以艺术为基础的焦点小组对非裔美国人和白人青少年的实施，因为他们共同绘制了隐喻地图，探索影响他们情绪健康和压力的积极和消极的社区因素。使用一系列指导步骤，青年们合作绘制，集体讨论，并单独对他们认为最影响他们情绪健康的因素进行排名，以将他们的地图置于背景中。我们介绍了利用NVivo软件的数据收集方法和计算机辅助转录过程。我们分享了青年对群体隐喻地图制作过程和结果的看法，作为其价值的证据。该方法解决了让代表性不足的不同群体参与研究的关键挑战，使典型焦点小组未讨论的信息易于获取，并使用审美的方式来提高对青年生活经历的认识。本文还讨论了复制隐喻映射方法的局限性和注意事项。
Arts-based research methods offer social scientists a rich collection of techniques for engaging participants often excluded from more traditional forms of research. The methods, which include techniques such as drawing, poetry, photography, painting, and dance, aid participants in accessing and communicating the deep, perhaps unconscious meaning of their experiences. While these outcomes are ideal for contextualizing experiences, greater guidance on the use of arts-based research methods is needed. Although the arts can be used alone in the elicitation of data, they can also be used in integrative ways—combined with methods such as narrative interviewing. Social scientists utilize arts-based methods in data gathering, analysis, and presentation. This article describes the implementation of arts-based focus groups with African American and White adolescents as they collectively drew metaphor maps exploring positive and negative community factors affecting their emotional health and stress. Using a series of guided steps, youth collaborated in drawing, collectively discussed, and individually ranked the factors they feel most affect their emotional well-being, to contextualize their maps. We present the data collection method and computer-assisted transcription process utilizing NVivo software. We share the youth’s perspectives of the group metaphor map making process and outcomes as evidence of its value. The method addresses key challenges to engaging diverse underrepresented groups in research, makes accessible information not discussed in typical focus groups, and uses aesthetic ways of knowing to raise awareness of youth’s lived experiences. Limitations and considerations for replicating the metaphor map method are also discussed.
