I want to know the perceived change in perspectives of women in the contexts of gender roles after transformative traveling experiences using TLT,
I dont have the time to do a pre-trip and post-trip research, I will do a perceived change on perspectives.
However, I dont know how to select my participants who should be already transformed, any ideas?
I guess you have to go for a qualitative analysis. So regarding sampling refer to the work of Janice Morse. Start with convenience sampling. Your first interview is with a woman which is easy to access, from whom you know that she has transformative experiences, who is intelligent and communicative to be helpful for your study. Go on with snowball sampling. You ask your first interview partner if she knows other women eager to talk about their transformation. Use the constant comparative method. Your sampling should become more and more selective as your anlaytical (strtat from the very first interview on wards) deepens. Use self-perception and self-narration as a criterion. Elminate those women who are negative about transformation.
I used social media to select participants for a project about the experiences of doing a doctorate. Those who applied were all in that transformative category, or so it seemed to me and to them. Some were in the middle of it and others had gone through it. The most important aspect of examining transformation was to take it out of its conceptual framework and bring into into a practical and managable form. How do participants understand transformation? What did it look like in their experience? What were the boundaries and disjunctures of transformation? Was it punctuated, slow or rapid? What factors facilitated it? And then the existential nature of it for the person, their relationships and their lives.
