Answer to Question 1

ANS: B

Feedback
A Deductive reasoning is typical of quantitative studies.
B Qualitative studies attempt to interpret phenomena in terms of the meaning people bring to them. Thus truth is the subject's perception/expression of reality.
C Sample size is predetermined in quantitative studies.
D Measurement is characteristic of quantitative studies.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B

Feedback
A Participant agreement on themes is not an influence on data saturation.
B Data saturation occurs when the researcher recognizes that he or she has heard themes before in multiple prior interviews.
C Phenomenologists do not use previous studies to determine data saturation because each new group of participants has its own unique set of subjective experiences compared with past groups in similar studies.
D Lack of interest of participants does not indicate data saturation.
