“…Clinicians and researchers need to know who and what consumers regard as meaningful in their lives (Davis, 1998;Olstad, Sexton, & Sogaard, 1999). Such knowledge may help to focus treatment plans (Dreger & Miller, 1960;Dressler & Badger, 1985;Escarce, Epstein, Coby, & Schwartz, 1993;Evarts, 1914;Fabrega, Mezzich, & Ulrich, 1988;Fischer, 1969;Freedman, 1994;Frumkin, 1954;Garretson, 1993;Gary, 1985Gary, , 1987Geiger, 1967). Sound background cultural data may facilitate engaging and establishing a relationship with African American women consumers.…”

In this article, the author discusses the utility of qualitative approaches in mental health research and clinical practice. He highlights the value of conceptualizing research designs and procedures that include relevant cultural information about study participants. Emphasis is placed on African American women participants, consumers, and others who are understudied, underrepresented, and underserved in large-scale studies and treatment. Limitations and strengths are noted. Contributions of qualitative methodology are described, particularly the functions of ethnography and grounded theory in conceptualization, hypotheses building, and hypotheses testing of outcome data on African American women and culturally diverse groups. Clinical researchers are encouraged to utilize qualitative and mixed methods approaches to bolster outcomes and better inform their clinical practice.

“…An instance in which this criterion may be inadequate is when an attempt is being made to measure ethnic attitudes, since it is possible that Ss' responses may be determined in part by the interviewer's race. The scant attention paid to the effects of this variable in attitude research, particularly in studies where S and E differ by ethnic group, has been described as a major design fault (Dreger & Miller, 1960). The available American evidence (Heine, 1950;Trent, 1954;Rankin & Campbell, 1955) suggests that this conclusion is warranted.…”

The Effect of the Ethnic Grouping of the Experimenter upon Children's Responses to Tests of an Ethnic Nature

The responses of 240 Maori and pakeha (White) children to tests of ethnic awareness and attitudes were examined in relation to the ethnic grouping of E. Half of the children of each ethnic group were tested by a Maori E and half by a pakeha E. With one exception, the E variable did not affect children's performance on awareness tests. On attitude tests, however, a defensive reaction by older Maori children, who favoured pakeha figures more frequently when E was pakeha rather than Maori, was noted. No such shift in response was observed in pakeha children. The results indicate that in ethnic attitude research, particularly when subjects used are drawn from a minority group, the provision of own-race interviewers should be an automatic control.

“…Those who held that genetic factors accounted for the differences between racial groups, and those who held that socioeconomic and educational factors were responsible, accumUlated data and published studies to support their respective positions. This extensive literature has been reviewed recently by Dreger and Miller (1960) and by $huey (1958). Shuey concludes that the data "all point to the presence of some native differences between Negroes and whites as determined by intelligence tests.…”
