“…Showing people videos of themselves can enhance the training experience for various kinds of workers, such as teachers (Derry 2007;Natasi 1999), medical students (Larsen et al 2008), and social workers (Fred 1986), giving them a better sense of how they interact with their clientele so that they may correct any counterproductive behaviors. But it should also prove useful in any sort of ethnography in which one is attempting to better understand face-to-face interactions.…”

Stimulated Recall Interviews in Ethnography

This article describes the use of stimulated recall interviews as a technique for investigating how people approach interactions in a number of different situations. In general, the technique I describe involves interviewing individuals by playing them audio or audiovisual recordings of their own behavior in social situations and discussing different aspects of those recorded interactions. Doing so can help us to understand what signals interactants understand as important, what signals they try to convey to others, and how they choose from various options to act upon the information they receive in interactions. Using the example of jazz jam sessions, I ask why it is that interactions can sometimes go smoothly and uneventfully, or sometimes break down completely. The stimulated recall interviews provide a valuable tool in helping the ethnographer to answer these kinds of questions.Keywords Ethnographic methods . Interviewing . Interaction . Jazz This article describes the use of stimulated recall interviews (SRI) as a technique for investigating how people coordinate their interactions in a number of different situations. In general, the technique I describe involves interviewing individuals while playing them audio or audiovisual recordings of their own behavior in social situations. Through participant-observation, ethnographers are able to gain unique insights into why people choose to act in certain ways in various situations. Traditional interviews and even autoethnographic techniques can help us to gain further understanding of the motivations and strategies underlying interactions and practices. But the ethnographer may be somewhat frustrated by the problems of memory and perspective inherent in these techniques. Motivations and rationales that informants describe retrospectively may not conform to those that they actually held in the moment of the experience. The technique of SRI brings informants a step closer to the moments in which they actually produce action. It gives

“…Data were collected in accordance with the procedures of IPR (Larsen, Flesaker, & Stege, 2008;Rennie, 1994). IPR research began to take hold in psychotherapy with the seminal work of Elliott (Elliott, 1986;Elliott & Shapiro, 1988) and the method has continued to grow and be modified for use in various contexts (e.g.…”

Hope in a strengths-based group activity for individuals with chronic pain

While hope has been described as the ability to imagine a future in which one wishes to participate, individuals with chronic pain can have difficulty maintaining hope due to the pervasive impact of pain on multiple facets of their lives. This research examines client experiences of hope during a hope and strengths activity offered as part of a group treatment plan for individuals experiencing chronic pain. Entitled Being Hopeful in the Face of Chronic Pain, the group was developed in order to focus on hope and generative emotional experiences, experiences often lacking for individuals with chronic pain. The group activity being studied specifically addressed participants' current strengths and strengths they hope-to-have-more-of. The study employed basic qualitative inquiry and utilized interpersonal process recall individual interviews to stimulate participant recall. Twelve participants (spanning three separate group offerings) individually discussed their personal experiences as they unfolded during a specific hope and strengths-focused activity. Participants described experiences during the group activity that fostered personal hope via perspective shifts, communion, comparison and connection with other group members. Findings are discussed in the context of current literature on hope, chronic pain, positive psychology and group interventions.

“…While an individual accessing Person-Centred therapy would have been through an assessment, the therapeutic process is organised around a diagnosis. For example, in contrast with Psychodynamic and Gestalt therapies, the client is not directed to dwell on their condition or specific traumatic episodes; rather, it is the attitude of unconditional positive regard in listening that is understood to be therapeutic, and it is up to the client what they bring to the discussion, and when [11]. In Denis Roche's words, it seeks to put in place the conditions for new processes to take root, rather than doing something to the individual [19].…”

“…One of the reasons for this difference is the project's enquiry into the Person-Centred Approach (PCA) as a framework for participatory design [10], [11]. While an individual accessing Person-Centred therapy would have been through an assessment, the therapeutic process is organised around a diagnosis.…”

This paper introduces a heuristic case study, reflecting on the use of the Interpersonal Process Recall (IPR) method as part of An Internet of Soft Things, a multidisciplinary design research project working with the UK mental health charity, Mind. The three authors represent three different disciplines within the projectPsychotherapy, e-Textiles, and Human-Computer Interaction -and naturally bring their own experiences and expectations to the multidisciplinary team process. The aim of the project is to develop, through practice, a methodology for a Person-Centred Approach to design, informed by the theories and practice of Carl Rogers, and thereby to address the increasing need for researcher reflection in Participatory Design. The paper outlines the project and describes our experiences of IPR within it; it discusses how we are taking this work forward and closes with some guidelines based on our personal observations in working with this method.
