定性方法是研究家庭动态和家庭关系的绝佳方法。在本研究中，我们确定了四个目标，其中定性方法有利于研究人员：（1）获得家庭成员的家庭互动和关系的意义;（2）获得家庭内部的关系过程和观察家庭互动的意见;（3）检查家庭的背景下;（4）给边缘化的家庭和家庭成员的声音。定性方法通常会产生非常丰富的数据，并超过定量方法来实现某些研究目标。我们研究如何定性研究可能会提高奖学金的家庭关系，突出选择的研究结构多样的家庭为例。
Qualitative approaches are excellent ways to investigate family dynamics and family relationships. In the present study, we identify four goals in which qualitative methods benefit researchers: (1) obtaining family members' meanings about family interactions and relationships; (2) acquiring family insiders' views about relational processes and observing family interactions; (3) examining families within contexts; and (4) giving voice to marginalized families and family members. Qualitative methods often yield extraordinarily rich data and exceed quantitative approaches for achieving some research goals. We examine how qualitative research may enhance scholarship on family relationships, highlighting selected studies on structurally diverse families as examples.
