Publisher's Synopsis
This exemplar introduces various ways in which vignette methodology can be used in social research. Vignette methodology is a way of structuring and (the authors argue) analysing interview data. The authors focus on using vignette methodology drawing on a social constructionist, dialogical approach. From this theoretical position, issues that are often seen to be difficult in vignette methodology, particularly the issue of interpretation and understanding, become a valuable addition to the research rather than an obstacle to be overcome.
