Qualitative research differs from traditional quantitative research on human experience in several ways.

‘It wouldn’t be me if I didn’t have bipolar disorder’: managing the shift in self-identity with bipolar disorder - Inder - 2011 - Journal of Nursing and Healthcare of Chronic Illness
Abstract inder m, crowe m, moor s, carter j, luty s & joyce p (2011) Journal of Nursing and Healthcare of Chronic Illness 3, 427–435 ‘It wouldn’t be me if I didn’t have bipolar disorder’: managing the shift in self-identity with bipolar disorder Aims and objectives. Method. Results. Conclusions. Relevance to clinical practice. Introduction Bipolar disorder is a chronic illness that significantly impacts on an individual’s life. As with other chronic illnesses, there are challenges faced by those with bipolar disorder in coming to terms with the diagnosis and the subsequent adjustment to how one perceives oneself. Charmaz (1995) describes chronic illness as an intrusion requiring an alteration and reconsideration of an individual’s identity. In bipolar disorder, there are particular aspects of the experience of the illness that have been highlighted as having a significant impact on an individual’s sense of self and identity. Discussion Strengths and limitations
The real secrets to a longer life
Most people who live to old age do so not because they have beaten cancer, heart disease, depression or diabetes. Instead, the long-lived avoid serious ailments altogether through a series of steps that often rely on long-lasting, meaningful connections with others, says University of California, Riverside, psychologist Howard S. Friedman, PhD, co-author with Leslie Martin, PhD, of the 2011 book "The Longevity Project." The book is a compilation of findings from their work on an eight-decade research project of the same name examining the longevity of more than 1,500 children first studied by psychologist Lewis Terman, PhD, in 1921. The Monitor spoke to Friedman about some of the most controversial of his findings — including the idea that stress isn't necessarily all that bad for us. Why is it so important for psychologists to be involved in longevity work? What drew you to Terman's study? Then one day it struck me: Build upon the Terman data, extending a study that began in 1921.
Questionnaire--The happiness diet
Forty percent of our happiness may be within our power to control--and making ourselves happier could take less than 10 minutes a day, according to University of California, Riverside, psychology professor Sonja Lyubomirsky, PhD. Winner of the 2002 Templeton Positive Psychology Prize, Lyubomirsky has been researching happiness for nearly two decades and is leading the way in the scientific study of interventions that lastingly increase human happiness, says former APA President and fellow positive psychologist Martin E.P. Seligman, PhD. Backed by a five-year $1 million grant from the National Institute of Mental Health, Lyubomirsky--along with colleague Ken Sheldon, PhD--is exploring the potential of happiness-sustaining strategies, such as expressing gratitude and reflecting on happy moments, to permanently bolster one's happiness level. Why research happiness? Happiness is the Holy Grail of science. How does your book stand out from others on the subject? Does climate affect happiness?
Couples Avoid Marriage Because They Fear Divorce
Many committed couples aren't marrying because they fear divorce, a new study indicates, though many other reasons for and against marriage abound in young adults from different social classes. Social pressures and thoughts of deeper commitment may promote wedding vows in middle-class young adults, while fears of extra responsibilities and the costs of exiting the relationship make working-class women more fearful of marriage. A study earlier this month from the Pew Research Center indicates that marriage rates are at their lowest ever, with about half of American adults currently married. Median age at first marriage is also older than ever for both men and women, that survey found. Cohabiting couples In the new study, the researchers performed in-depth interviews with 122 people (61 couples interviewed as individuals) who lived with their partner in or around Columbus, Ohio, between July 2004 and June 2006. Divorce came up in 81 of the 122 interviews, which covered four main topics.
Questioning Decisions Can Lead to Unhappiness
By Rick Nauert PhD Senior News Editor Reviewed by John M. Grohol, Psy.D. on December 16, 2011 For some, it is hard to be satisfied as we consistently wonder if we have done the right thing. Now, researchers have determined overanalyzing and then second guessing one’ decisions can lead to stress and unhappiness. Psychologist have termed individuals who obsess over decisions — big or small — and then fret about their choices later as “maximizers.” A new study sheds light on why it is difficult for some to make a decision that they can be happy with. Dr. Ehrlinger’s research on decision making is found in the journal Personality and Individual Differences. The paper examines whether “maximizers show less commitment to their choices than satisfiers in a way that leaves them less satisfied with their choices.”Ehrilinger and her research team discovered maximizers’ tendency to focus on finding the best option ultimately undermines their commitment to their final choices.
