This second edition textbook is an invaluable guide for conducting qualitative research in psychology, whether approached individually or in combination. It is suitable for researchers at all stages of their careers, providing a comprehensive resource for students just starting out and experienced qualitative researchers looking to explore research pluralistically.

Key features of the textbook include:

A new chapter on Thematic Analysis, providing a comprehensive introduction to this method and its applications in psychology.

Updated chapters on four other widely used qualitative methods: grounded theory, interpretative phenomenological analysis, discourse analysis, and narrative analysis.

Discussions of the theoretical foundations of qualitative methods employed singly and pluralistically, including discussions of epistemology, ontology, and methodology.

Consideration of ethical and quality issues pertinent to different methods when used separately and in conjunction.

Inclusion of the use of visual and other non-textual data in qualitative research.

Problem-based questions to facilitate critical thinking and application of the methods discussed.

Reflections on practice from experienced researchers, offering insights and perspectives from their own experiences.

The book has been extensively updated to reflect current developments in the field and includes research examples from a wide range of psychology disciplines, including health, social, counseling, and sports and exercise psychology. Studies conducted as part of both academic and professional practice are included, along with discussions of how researchers from these settings can work together effectively.

“Frost invites advanced students to move from broad conceptual understandings towards a nuanced appreciation of the potential of qualitative methods in psychology.” – Neil Cooper, P.
