“…It is possible that some, if not all, of these barriers apply to this study although it would be interesting to investigate these among teenagers with cochlear implants for future research. Another issue that has been discussed in previous studies engaging teenagers with online discussions is the misunderstanding on the teenagers' behalf that it would be an opportunity for synchronous chats, with the expectation that someone would always be available to talk to (Mason and Ide, 2014). In this study very few teenagers initially accessed the website and to a new user it probably appeared to be an unpopular website to visit.…”

“…Another possible reason for the teenagers' lack of engagement may have been my communication style. Mason and Ide (2014) found that changing her communication style and email structure resulted in a better response from the teenagers she was interviewing. For example, a more relaxed tone was adopted, with shorter more conversational like paragraphs.…”

“…Mason and Ide (2014) report that email interviewing can overcome these issues, teenagers citing benefits such as being able to respond in their own time without concerns about privacy. Teenagers felt more in control and appreciated having the distance to reflect on their answers.…”

“…More e-mail prompts may have helped maintain momentum, since several teenagers signed up to use the website but did not participate. Mason and Ide (2014) were successful in interviewing teenagers online in two weeks, with an email reminder every 72 hours. A reminder email was sent to the teenagers in this study on two occasions, but over a much longer period of time which may have been a factor in the high attrition rate.…”

Whilst much research has focused on the general health needs of adolescents, little is known about the specific needs of teenagers who wear cochlear implants. Thus it is important to widen the knowledge base regarding the experiences of this population, and to assist professionals to support this age group more effectively.This qualitative study investigated teenage cochlear implant users' perceptions of deafness, surgery, fitting of the device and life as a cochlear implant wearer in order to gain a more comprehensive understanding of teenagers' experiences of living with a cochlear implant by putting their perspectives at the heart of the research. This was achieved by working with the teenagers collaboratively throughout the research.Phase one of the study involved engaging with a small group of teenagers with cochlear implants to develop a website that would allow them to share their experiences. In phase two, ten semi-structured interviews were undertaken and nine were analysed using template analysis. Some teenagers experienced great preoperative anxiety and significant post-operative pain. Anxiety and pain are physiologically linked so strategies for reducing their anxiety are discussed. There was also a mismatch between their expectations and the disappointing reality of adjusting to the device. Disconfirmation-expectancy theory suggests that expectations counselling may narrow this gap. However, over time they experienced significant functional and psychosocial benefits as a result of their lives being easier. Almost all described complex, flexible identities where they felt connections with both the hearing and deaf world. Theoretical models of deaf identity support this 'bicultural' state. However, the hearing world sometimes posed difficulties for them when the listening environment was challenging. By giving prominence to the teenagers' voices this study has added new knowledge concerning their experience of surgery. The findings also more fully revealed the challenges of adjusting to the device and the impact of having a cochlear implant on the teenagers' identities.ii iii

“…Data saturation attainable through interviews employing diverse data gathering tactics counteracts possible sampling biases that undermine validity, trustworthiness, and dependability (Mason & Ide, 2014). Some data gathering tactics employed by the authors included confidentiality statements, signed informed consents, and alphanumeric data coding, which excluded participantsí real names (e.g., F1, F2, M1, M2, etc.).…”

Bullying is a worldwide concern and erroneous perceptions of the phenomenon could underscore unsustainable interventions. The purpose of this qualitative exploratory case study was to examine, in-depth, how some high school teachers from two schools in New Jersey perceived student bullying. The primary research question was: What perceptions do teachers have about student bullying? The main data were from face-to-face interviews with 14 teachers who answered semi-structured, open-ended questions. Secondary data originated from physical artefacts. The data analysis consisted of four phases. Inductive analysis allowed for the composition of individual cases. Cross-case analysis allowed data classification into three main areas of inquiry aligned with the three secondary research questions (a) bullying and victimisation dynamics as perceived by teachers, (b) adequacy of current interventions, and (c) adequacy of teachersí professional development for bullying mitigation. The data unveiled inconsistencies between causes of bullying and interventions. It culminated in recommendations for leadership and suggestions for future research.

“We Do Exist”: The Experiences of Women Living with a Sexual Interest in Minors

The current body of the literature studying minor-attracted persons (MAPs) predominantly focuses on the experiences of men who experience sexual attractions to children. To shed more light on the experiences of women within this population, we conducted anonymous semi-structured interviews with six self-identified female MAPs, who were recruited through online support forums for individuals with sexual attractions to children. Interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) was used to analyze the interview transcripts. Two superordinate themes were identified from the dataset that highlighted the uniqueness of the experience of being a woman within the MAP community (“A minority within a minority”) and themes of social isolation and the effects of this on identity (“A lonely secret existence”). The findings reported here highlight how the experiences of female MAPs both converge with and diverge from their male counterparts in important ways. We discuss the implications of these experiences in relation to more effective service provision for women who are sexually attracted to children.
