“…We used Riessman's (2000Riessman's ( , 2002 explanation of one tradition of narrative analysis, based upon extended interviews and featuring detailed, verbatim transcripts, care for structural features of discourse, attention to narrative created by the interviewer and participant, and a comparative approach. This narrative analysis identified both individual and collective actions and the meanings of those actions (Laslett, 1999), pointing us toward an understanding of the professional or occupational identity of this group.…”

“…Her immediate family explained that having sex too young could negatively affect her academic future. For participants in our study, conversations with siblings about sex often conveyed direct messages about delaying sex or avoiding parenthood, which connects how the past could consequently affect one’s future (Chase 2010; Hinchman and Hinchman 2001; Laslett 1999). …”

In this paper, we examine the ways that early adolescents talked, interacted, and made references to events in their individual and collective lives during photography-based focus groups about sexuality and relationships. Twenty-three participants (10 boys and 13 girls) were recruited from three urban schools participating in a comprehensive sex education impact evaluation in the Northeast. We analyzed conversational narratives that were elicited in a group process while sharing photos of important people, contexts, and situations, showcasing participants’ exploration of sexuality and relationships. Our analysis revealed four main themes: (a) direct and indirect family communication about sexuality, (b) accidental and intentional Internet usage, (c) shared and contested peer knowledge, and (d) school as a direct and indirect learning context. Implications and future directions for practice, research, and policy are explored.

“…A narrative approach assumes that human beings inevitably construct, and reconstruct, stories, imposing a meaningful pattern, as they make sense of the world (Riessmann, 2008). Furthermore, it is also assumed that narratives have pronounced spatial and temporal elements (Laslett, 1999;Syrjälä et al, 2009) indicating that narratives not only tell the story of the individual, but also about their social environments. In addition, narratives are assumed to have a time ordering function where the narrator makes sense of the present through recounting and looking back on past events and situations, as well as anticipating the future, in light of these events.…”

Purpose -There is a lack of qualitative longitudinal studies in the literature exploring the complexity and dynamism of affective experience during phases of organizational change. This article therefore explores the nature and intensity of emotional reactions to change and the contextual triggers that made them vary.Design/methodology/approach -Eleven nurses in a Norwegian public hospital were interviewed at three points in time about a change in technology, one month prior to implementation, three months after implementation and one year after implementation. They were asked to reflect "forwards" and "backwards" about their emotional experiences to the technical change in particular and to other changes occurring at work. Findings -The informants reported mixed emotional experiences to change at all three interviews. Emotion terms such as "uncertainty", "joy" and "resignation" were reported at all times, "anxiety and "excitement" were only reported at Times 1 and 2 whereas "frustration" and "cynicism" were only reported at Times 2 and 3.Research limitations -A larger group of informants would have produced greater insight into the evolving emotional change experiences. Further research could explore other contexts and a wider range of data collection methods.Originality/value -This is a rare qualitative study of emotional change experiences where the informants were interviewed three times.
