Sociology Evaluation of Method

One good aspect that my method had was that it allowed me to collect very in depth data, population were able to open up to me as it was unstructured interviews, I did beget a problem with this though, as I didnt have prepared questions it was rocky to compare my participants points of views afterwards and by talking so in depth slightly a sensitive subject equivalent divide things could get out of hand, one of my participants even began to cry as she became very emotional.The location to do my interviews in were varied, some were good and some were bad, one of them I had to do in my room and privacy was hard to come by.In my opinion my results are unreliable, save I call up that when talking to hoi polloi about something as private as this, results provide always be this as people ascertain awkward and dont pauperization a stranger, or somebody from outside of the family to k at present their business.The participants I accept were the correct ones to interview and h ad enough experience and met with my criteria, the problem which I run aground though was that I hadnt interviewed enough I only interviewed one of distributively that I wanted.I.e. ONE married couple, ONE live togethering couple etc.If I had interviewed much people my results would have been more representative, I hadnt thought of this until after.The sample distribution method I used I thought was appropriate people knew that they could confide in me and no problems arose with this.If I were to repeat this project I would defiantly change my method, I would do structured interviews as I believe that for my content and analysis it would be a lot easier to compare and that it is also possible to get in depth data this way. I would also interview more people.Evaluation of findingsIn apprisal of my outgrowth aim, to find out whether divorce on the increase is really seen as a negative aspect of todays society I found that people do take divorce little seriously than before but they dont give it less importance, I know this because nearly all of the couples I interviewed seemed slightly scared of divorce but would mostly consider it, I have found that, on contrary to my beliefs people dont rush into marriages and safe get divorced when they find that marriage isnt what they expected, couples nowadays tend to cohabit first so that when they do get divorced they know it is the honorable thing to do, and the only way out.They cohabit to test their relationship, in decree to avoid divorce. Some couples do non marry because of the threat of divorce. I found that people who are more religious see divorce as a problem. I also found that people feel divorce can affect mental health, respondents stated that divorce is non good for your health.The reasons given for the rise of divorce including the fact that marriages are now based of love rather than expectations and the changing role of women.In relation to my bit aim, to find out the main reason for more di vorces I found that most people believe that it is due to women having more independence, less sexism. This was the one and only thing that all my participants had in common.My findings were similar to foregoing studies in this area such as Robert Chester who found that nuclear families would never stop existing he found that families would just change their forms. By having divorces this is what happens, children dont just stop having one of their parents, they still have both, the way in which families tend to be perceived just changes, cohabiting couples are on the up and so is divorce.People see divorce as something negative and electropositive at the same time, it affects you in both ways and people seduce this, they also know that divorce can give them a second start in life when most of their hope is gone.What was interesting about my project was that I was able to research on something that causes hundreds and thousands of people brokenheartedness and depression everyday but is also seen as normal, I learnt a lot from doing this project, I used to think that people were just negligent and got married and divorced as if it doesnt mean a thing, Ive found that this is not the case, although more people are getting divorced it doesnt mean that more people are getting married, people stand up for themselves more nowadays, and despite my previous beliefs people DO see divorce as a problem, but also as something positive. By doing this project I have learnt a lot.
