“…After obtaining informed consent, I used a semistructured interview instrument of 20 standard questions informed by the extant literature and my previous research experience, consistent with the analytic induction approach forwarded by Jane Gilgun (Gilgun, 1999; Gilgun et al, 1992). A qualitative, narrative‐based approach was used in hope of uncovering richer, thicker information about religious practices and family relationships (Josselson & Lieblich, 1993).…”

Quantitative research examining linkages between family relationships and religious experience has increased substantially in recent years. However, related qualitative research, including research that examines the processes and meanings behind recurring religion-family correlations, remains scant. To address this paucity, a racially diverse sample (N = 24) of married, highly religious Christian, Jewish, Mormon, and Muslim parents of school-aged children were interviewed regarding the importance of religious family interactions, rituals, and practices in their families. Mothers and fathers discussed several religious practices that were meaningful to them and explained why these practices were meaningful. Parents also identified costs and challenges associated with these practices. Interview data are presented in connection with three themes: (1) "practicing [and parenting] what you preach," (2) religious practices, family connection, and family communion, and (3) costs of family religious practices. The importance of family clinicians and researchers attending to the influence of religious practice in the lives of highly religious individuals and families is discussed.

“…The result is that GTM are not being employed to their full advantage. Given how much family studies has relied on qualitative research to generate important theoretical insights (Gilgun, 1999; LaRossa & Wolf, 1985), family researchers can ill afford to ignore a situation that threatens their ability to do theoretical work.…”

“…If a member of the first group submits a manuscript for publication, and members of the second group happen to be the manuscript's reviewers (by which I mean the external readers), the manuscript is likely to be rejected. Such conflicts are not limited to instances in which quantitatively oriented reviewers are evaluating qualitative manuscripts; differences of opinion also exist among qualitatively oriented reviewers (e.g., see Gilgun, 1999; Goodwin & Horowitz, 2002).…”

Writing and Reviewing Manuscripts in the Multidimensional World of Qualitative Research

Qualitative manuscripts occupy a multidimensional world and can vary by their “latitude” (where they are with respect to the humanities and sciences), “longitude” (where they are with respect to the length and number of data excerpts), and “altitude” (where they are with respect to the level of theorizing). In this article, I discuss these 3 dimensions as they relate to the field of family studies, delineate the options available to authors as they carry out their analyses and present their findings, and outline the criteria reviewers frequently use when they evaluate qualitative work. It is hoped that, with a map of the writing and reviewing process, authors will be better equipped to chart the coordinates of their qualitative manuscripts and reviewers will be better able to provide the kinds of recommendations that authors can profitably utilize.
