本文讨论了一种新的跨学科，混合方法的方法来使用数据的第一个英国出生队列研究，全国健康与发展调查（NSHD，1946年）。它来自战后英国的两个历史学家和一个混合方法的生命历程研究人员之间的合作。我们的方法汇集了队列水平的定量数据与不太知名的定性数据，从150名参与者的原始NSHD访谈问卷的样本，以产生新的视角，社会变革的宏观过程是如何在个人层面上经历的，并在整个生命过程中发生变化。NSHD学龄和成年早期的扫描包括一系列与教育，工作和社会身份有关的开放式问题，这些问题提供了参与者如何在日常生活中应对和理解战后几十年的社会变革的感觉。这篇文章解释了我们的方法论的基本原理，然后集中在我们的方法在社会流动性方面更广泛的分析可能性。
This article discusses a new interdisciplinary, mixed-methods approach to using data from the first British Birth Cohort Study, the National Survey of Health and Development (NSHD, 1946). It emerges from a collaboration between two historians of postwar Britain and a mixed-methods life course studies researcher. Our approach brings together cohort-level quantitative data with less well-known qualitative data from a sample of 150 participants’ original NSHD interview questionnaires to generate new perspectives on how macro processes of social change were experienced at an individual level and varied across the life course. The NSHD school-age and early adulthood sweeps included a series of open-ended questions relating to education, work, and social identities, which offer a sense of how participants responded to and understood the social transformations of the postwar decades within their everyday lives. This article explains our methodological rationale, before focussing on the wider analytical possibilities of our approach in relation to social mobility.
