本文论证了纵向定性研究(LQR)是一种理解小型化群体成员的生活经验的创新方法，因为时间性是他们经验的一个结构元素。心理学中的大多数定性研究都是横断式的，这限制了我们对个体的理解，这些个体的经历依赖于背景，并与特定社会环境的时间规范有关。LQR的独特之处在于，它允许研究人员比较一段时间内的变化和稳定性，并揭示社会挑战和障碍如何影响视角转变和长期决策。为了证明LQR作为一种包容性方法论的有效性，我们讨论了一项正在进行的对不同生物医学科学家队列中的职业决策的研究。我们使用年度访谈来跟踪生物医学科学实习生，从他们的博士开始到他们职业生涯的初始阶段。我们介绍了小规模科学家的案例研究，以说明在他们的培训期间用来获取敏感和关键信息的长期参与的方法。我们展示了LQR对于各种研究问题是一种可行的方法，并且可以使用大小样本和有限的资源来完成。我们的主要目标是展示LQR如何有助于在历史上将他们排除在外的背景下理解小型化个人的经历。
This paper demonstrates how Longitudinal Qualitative Research (LQR) is an innovative method to understand the lived experiences of members of minoritized groups when temporality is a structuring element of their experiences. Most qualitative research in psychology is cross-sectional, which limits our understanding of individuals whose experiences are context-dependent and linked to the temporal norms of specific social environments. LQR is unique for allowing researchers to compare change and stability over time and reveal how social challenges and barriers impact perspective shifts and long-term decision-making. To demonstrate the usefulness of LQR as an inclusive methodology, we discuss an ongoing study of career decision-making among a diverse cohort of biomedical scientists. We have used annual interviews to follow biomedical science trainees from the beginning of their PhD into the initial stages of their careers. We present case studies of minoritized scientists to illustrate the methods for long-term engagement used to elicit sensitive and critical information during their training. We show how LQR is a viable methodology for a variety of research questions and can be accomplished using large or small sample sizes and limited resources. Our primary goal is to show how LQR is useful to understand the experiences of minoritized individuals in contexts that have historically excluded them.
