hey everybody, I am very conflused of how to do so. I have collected data from qualitative interviews, and build different profiles that are visiting museums, based on their motivation. So far so good, but can I also answer some of the hypothesis questions that I have such as:
Connection between childhood visit to a museum with having educational purpose when it comes to visiting museum
Connection between hobby and value of experience
Thank you in advance!
Th correct way to do it would be regarding of what your research needs to approve and prove. Once the methodology requirements are as per the needs to get your precise results, that could have helped readers to reach the goals and get the valuable information they are in need of, as well as you as a researcher. Assena Rokanova your way of testing through such questions is really interesting.
Assena Rokanova Yes absolutely. You can use this data to answer this particular hypothesis question so far you have a decent sample size. It would help to create a Spreadsheet / Excel sheet of all the questions asked in the qualitative telephonic interviews. Mapping the answers on this sheet against each respondent, while colour coding visitor profiles. This technique can help you in getting reliable quantitative data to test your hypothesis. However, success of this approach lies in interviewing a good representative sample population. A small sample size might mislead the direction of your research.
It depends on the sample. I would say, yes you can. Assena Rokanova
Hey! Thank you for your quick answers ! Big help!
Then I am on the right track. I have build 6 different profiles based on 12 peoples answers and I have connected their answers with privious literature that have focused on motvation facotrs to go to a museum. I asked them different times similar questions - one time before a visit to a museum (including a question if they had to build their own museum experience that everybody would like, what would that be); asked them similar quesitons after their visit, where I focused on their actual experience on the museum and then lastly, three months later , I asked them what they remember from the visits. From all the data, with the help of coding, i strucutred the answers, and based on those, I answerd the hypothesis. Would you say that this could be correct way to handle it ?

Again, thank you very much !!
