Answer to Question 1

ANS: B, D, E

Feedback
Correct Designs that require interactions between participants and researchers over time can result in blurred relationship boundaries.
Researchers serve as instruments for data interpretation, so personal viewpoints can blur proper interpretation of participant accounts.
An emergent design, such as grounded theory, might cause the researcher to change the approaches of the study and, therefore, alter risks to participants.
Incorrect The researcher's goal is to describe participant experiences from the emic perspective.
It is not unusual for participants to be interviewed more than once in qualitative studies.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B, D, F

Feedback
Correct This is the truth of the findings as judged by the participants and others within the discipline.
This is accountability as judged by the adequacy of the information leading the reader from the research question and raw data through various steps of analysis to the interpretation of findings.
This is faithfulness to everyday reality of the participants, described so that others in the discipline can evaluate importance for their own practice, research, and theory development.
Incorrect Reality based is not a criterion used to judge a study's scientific rigor.
Confidentiality of participants is not a criterion used to judge a study's scientific rigor.
Recordkeeping is not a criterion used to judge a study's scientific rigor.
