Answer to Question 1

Answer: The ideal answer will include:
1. Field notes: May consist of daily events, a personal journal, and any other notes.
2. Audio and video recordings: They are invaluable but in some instances may be resisted by the studied population, or their use may be restricted for identity protection or other ethical concerns.

1. Deductive research starts with a hypothesis and gathers relevant (etic) data.

4. It uses emic dataderived from what insiders say and believe about their culture rather than external categories.
