Qualitative researchers can enhance inductive validity by using template comparison, a sequential triangulation method. This technique guides new studies using findings from prior research on the same concept.

Area of Science:

  • Social Sciences
  • Qualitative Research Methodology

Background:

  • Qualitative researchers face a dilemma in enhancing inductive validity while advancing concepts, especially across multiple small projects.
  • Maintaining an inductive paradigm while leveraging prior knowledge is a key challenge.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose template comparison as a solution for qualitative researchers.
  • To demonstrate how template comparison aids in using previous research findings in new studies.

Main Methods:

  • Template comparison, a method of sequential triangulation.
  • Utilizing findings from earlier studies (qualitative or mixed methods) as a guide.

Main Results:

  • Template comparison facilitates data collection, interpretation, and theory development in new qualitative research.

  • The method allows for the integration of prior knowledge without compromising the inductive approach.

    • Conclusions:

    • Template comparison offers a viable strategy for enhancing inductive validity in sequential qualitative research.
    • The method is applicable across studies using the same or different qualitative approaches.
    • The concept of trust was used as an illustrative example.
