Introducing Qualitative Research in Psychology is a vital resource for students new to qualitative psychology. It explains when each qualitative research method should be used, the procedures and techniques involved, and any limitations associated with such research. Throughout the new edition, material has been re-organized and updated to reflect developments in the field, while Carla Willig's style of writing, popular with students and lecturers alike, remains unchanged.
Key features of the new edition include:
• Two new chapters, one on metasynthesis and one on pluralism in qualitative research
• A broadening the Visual Methodologies chapter to include other non-linguistic methods of data collection that engage with the physical environment, such as the walking interview and object elicitation
• Information and analysis on innovative dissemination methods such as performances and exhibitions
• Expanded coverage of the core question, “What makes qualitative research ‘research’?”, including clear explanations of the key tenets of the scientific method
• 'But it's not as simple as all that' boxes at the end of each chapter, where more complex issues, theoretical critiques and conceptual challenges are raised.
This title is supported by an Online Learning Centre, which includes an array of extra resources for both students and instructors.
“This book is a vital resource and a valuable reference, both for those new to research and for those looking to further develop their skills and knowledge of qualitative research in psychology.”
Nollaig Frost, Adjunct Professor, School of Applied Psychology, University College Cork, Ireland
“This exceptionally well-written text deserves a place in every psychology researcher’s toolkit, regardless of their career stage.”

“Readers of this text will find it to be accessible and comprehensive. It will enable many people to become confident in conducting their own qualitative research.”
