Two airplanes were hijacked and flown into the World Trade Center skyscrapers (a.k.a. the Twin Towers) and these towers ended up collapsing, killing over 3,000 people. The impact of this attack on the psychological health of New Yorkers and Americans has been widely studied.<\/p>\n<p>The aim of North et al.\u2019s study was to understand the experiences of people who were working for companies located in and near the towers. In particular, they wanted to understand their experiences after the attacks. As most of the research has been conducted on the effects of the attacks on post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), North et al. wanted to understand if there were other issues, as well.<\/p>\n<p>A volunteer sample of 140 participants was recruited to participate in the study. The researchers asked the companies if they could study their employees. If they agreed, then potential participants were informed of the opportunity to take part in the study by the employer.<\/p>\n<p>In total, 21 focus group interviews were conducted across a range of participants \u2013 there were focus groups made up of people that were working in companies at ground zero and in the tower at the time of the attack, while other focus groups were made up of people working in companies located a couple of blocks away from the towers. There was one interviewer who ran all interviews in a \u201cnondi\u00adrective fashion\u201d and the interviewer asked open-ended questions to try to start spontaneous discussions of members\u2019 thoughts, perceptions, feelings, responses, and concerns related to their experience of the 9\/11 terrorist attacks. The interviewer tried to prompt responses on topics such as the experiences of the attack itself, the participants\u2019 emotional responses and how they coped, issues in the workplace after the attacks and issues of general public concern.<\/p>\n<p>The researchers gathered informed consent and the study was approved by the Institutional Review Boards of the universities who were overseeing the study. The researchers note that \u201c\u2026separate focus groups were conducted for managers and non-managerial employees, helping to avoid participants\u2019 reluctance to be candid in the presence of their superiors or subordinates in the groups.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The results showed that symptoms related to PTSD was only a small part of the problems faced by their participants and there were a range of other issues and problems. They also found there was a difference in responses to the attacks between the groups depending on their location (i.e. those who were working in the towers at the time of the attacks and those who were not). This provides further evidence that the extent to which someone is exposed to trauma is very important to consider when trying to understand someone\u2019s post-trauma experiences and how they adjust to life after the trauma.<\/p>\n<h6>North CS1, Barney CJ, Pollio DE. <em>A focus group study of the impact of trauma exposure in the 9\/11 terrorist attacks.<\/em>Soc Psychiatry Psychiatr Epidemiol. 2015 Apr;50(4):569-78.

This will help you then choose the specific qualitative method used. Similarly, if it says &#8220;generalizing&#8221; you know it&#8217;s a quantitative method (e.g. correlational study or a type of experiment).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div id=\"attachment_12785\" style=\"width: 242px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/store.themantic-education.com\/collections\/ib-psychology\/products\/ib-psychology-teacher-support-pack-qualitative-methods\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12785\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-12785\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.themantic-education.com\/ibpsych\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/03\/C9-Teacher-support-preview.jpg?resize=232%2C300&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"232\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.themantic-education.com\/ibpsych\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/03\/C9-Teacher-support-preview-scaled.jpg?resize=232%2C300&amp;ssl=1 232w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.themantic-education.com\/ibpsych\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/03\/C9-Teacher-support-preview-scaled.jpg?resize=790%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 790w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.themantic-education.com\/ibpsych\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/03\/C9-Teacher-support-preview-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C995&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.themantic-education.com\/ibpsych\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/03\/C9-Teacher-support-preview-scaled.jpg?resize=1185%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1185w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.themantic-education.com\/ibpsych\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/03\/C9-Teacher-support-preview-scaled.jpg?resize=1580%2C2048&amp;ssl=1 1580w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.themantic-education.com\/ibpsych\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/03\/C9-Teacher-support-preview-scaled.jpg?resize=100%2C130&amp;ssl=1 100w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.themantic-education.com\/ibpsych\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/03\/C9-Teacher-support-preview-scaled.jpg?resize=906%2C1174&amp;ssl=1 906w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.themantic-education.com\/ibpsych\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/03\/C9-Teacher-support-preview-scaled.jpg?resize=1200%2C1555&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.themantic-education.com\/ibpsych\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/03\/C9-Teacher-support-preview-scaled.jpg?w=1976&amp;ssl=1 1976w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 232px) 100vw, 232px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-12785\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">More Paper 3 practice papers and mark schemes are available in the Qualitative Methods TSP.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><div  class=\"x-video embed with-container\" ><div class=\"x-video-inner\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4Gppfw6lsF8\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The best way to prepare for Paper 3 is to do lots of practice.
