“…We (the three authors) sorted the 578 words into categories, based on theme of content (cf. thematic analysis; Povee & Roberts, 2015): The themes were continually reworked by us to ensure that each category had sufficient content. We first sorted the words, where those relating to the same specific theme were added together.…”

Even though Sweden stands out in many ways, with for example a well-developed welfare system, there are some indications that Swedish egalitarianism does not include tolerance for people with low income. The present research concerns the content of the Swedish stereotype of poor people, and examines whether the poor are associated with just as negative traits as they are in other countries. Three different measurement methods were employed to investigate the contents and strength of the stereotype. In Study 1, participants freely associated on the perceived characteristics of Swedish citizens who receive welfare benefits. They also provided ratings of this group on traits related to warmth and competence. Study 2 employed both trait ratings and implicit measures (Single Category-IATs) in order to estimate the strength of the associations between the poor and warmth/competence, respectively. Across the different measures, the poor were associated with low competence and low-medium warmth. This corroborates the findings from previous research related to the Stereotype Content Model in other countries.

“…Psychologists are becoming increasingly more open to the use of these designs; however, misunderstandings about the nature of mixed methods persist (Povee & Roberts, ). Psychologists’ perception that mixed methods is useful is also counterbalanced by some opinions that qualitative phases in these designs are secondary or “tokenized.” This stance may be informed by psychologists generally being less knowledgeable of qualitative designs, inhibiting their skill set in completing mixed methods studies.…”

“…Such orientations may lead psychotherapy researchers to dismiss mixed methods as a futile effort or to conduct the study without the full rigor such a pursuit deserves. This is further complicated by a lack of mixed methods training for some psychologists (Povee & Roberts, ), which can contribute to undervaluing mixed methods (cf. McKim, ).…”

“…Much like therapists attend to diverse approaches that may help foster change with clients in sessions, researchers are becoming increasingly cognizant of integrating diverse empirical avenues in psychological science (e.g., Bartholomew & Brown, ; Gelo, Braakmann, & Benetka, ; Hanson, Creswell, Plano Clark, Petska, & Creswell, ; Povee & Roberts, ). This approach is exemplified in the use of mixed methods—that is, commonly defined, the integration of qualitative and quantitative data into a unified study (Tashakkori & Creswell, ).…”

“…As part of a larger mixed methods project examining attitudes to qualitative and mixed methods research in psychology (see Povee & Roberts, 2014b, for information on the component of the project examining attitudes towards mixed methods research), we interviewed 21 Australian psychology students and academics about their attitudes towards qualitative research (Povee & Roberts, 2014a). Using the multicomponent model of attitudes by Chaiken (1993, 2007) as a framework, interview transcripts were analysed using thematic analysis to reveal the associated affective, behavioural, and cognitive themes underlying attitudes towards qualitative research.…”

The use and teaching of qualitative research methods in psychology is increasing, but to date no measure has been developed to identify and measure changes in attitudes towards qualitative research in psychology student, academic, and scientist-practitioner populations. In this article, we present the development and initial validation of a new measure, Attitudes Toward Qualitative Research in Psychology. A pool of 46 items developed from previous qualitative research along with validation measures was administered via an online survey to a convenience sample of 288 psychology students, academics, and psychologists. Principal axis factoring with varimax rotation produced a four-factor, 18-item solution. All factors have acceptable internal reliability. Knowngroups validity analyses based on preferred research orientation, and convergent and divergent validity analyses based on measures of attitudes towards quantitative research and researcher/practitioner orientation, provide initial validation of the measure. This brief, internally reliable measure can be used in assessing attitudes towards qualitative research in psychology and measuring change over time.
