Question

Ethnography refers to:


A.

A research design that rules out alternative causal explanations of findings deriving from it.


B.

An attribute in terms of which cases do not differ.


C.

A research method where the researcher immerses himself/herself in a social setting for an extended period of time for providing an account of particular culture, society or community.

D.

A measure that is employed to refer to a concept when no direct measure is available.

Correct option is C

A research method where the researcher immerses himself/herself in a social setting for an extended period of time for providing an account of a particular culture, society, or community.

  • Option 1 describes a causal explanation framework, which is unrelated to ethnography. Ethnography is not primarily about ruling out causal explanations but rather about understanding the culture and experiences of a group through immersion.

  • Option 2 describes a variable or characteristic of study, not ethnography. Ethnography is about studying cultural and social phenomena, and this option does not apply.

  • Option 3 correctly defines ethnography as a qualitative research method where the researcher spends an extended period of time within a social setting (such as a community or society) to gain an insider’s perspective and understanding of the culture, practices, and behaviors.

  • Option 4 describes a measure or concept related to indirect measurement, but ethnography itself is more about direct observation and immersion rather than using indirect or absent measures.
