Some researchers argue that one can generate meaningful research data only if one has a large sample size. Moreover, a large sample size is required in order to generalize the findings to show the potential for effecting social change. On the other hand, some researchers believe that a small number of participants can generate data that are just as meaningful because the researcher can then plumb the data to greater depths.

To prepare for this Application:

Consider the following: Is it better to have a large sample size and not get as in-depth with participants than it is to have a small sample size and go into more depth with participants?

Which situation will derive more meaningful data? What are the pros and cons of each choice? Which situation is supported by the literature?

Select a position on what sample size is necessary to generate meaningful qualitative data. How would you defend your position?

What factors contribute to the sample size you would recommend for your Qualitative Research Plan (Final Project)? What support from the literature would you use to defend your choice?

The assignment:

Craft a 1- to 2-page position paper in which you defend a position on what sample size is necessary to generate meaningful qualitative data.

Conclude your position paper with a proposed sample size and strategy for your Qualitative Research Plan/postpartum depression.
