So, an important clarifying and validating step in qualitative research can be to assess the reactions. Do they agree with themes, patterns, and propositions that form the conclusions? Depending on who is being observed, they may or may not understand the more abstract and theoretical part of the conclusions, but many of the patterns and themes will be comprehensible to them, possibly with a little explanation. If they generally agree with the conclusions. Then this can have two positive effects. One effect is to stimulate the researcher consider changing or clarifying the conclusions to take in to account the objection. Of course, it is possible that the researcher will conclude that no change or clarification is necessary. This can read to the second positives effect: Explaining why the people disagree with the conclusions. In other words, their objection become further observation to be described and explained by the research. This may, in fact, provide more support for the conclusions.
So, as manyof these guidelines as conclusions should be followed in verifying the conclusions drawn in qualitative data analysis. No one of these, of course, is the key to having confidence in the conclusions; the key is that the more that are incorporated, the more confidence we have in the conclusions. Research in practice 16.1 discusses a research project that illustrates a number of elements of qualitative data analysis, including the use of a number of mechanisms for enhancing validity.
