As data is collected, the researcher, with respondent
as advisor, analyzes the data for meaning,
searches for reality in transcription, and awakens to
the emergent design of the research. Description in
the most authentic way possible recognizes the value
of the respondent. Trust and negotiation built over
time "demands forthrightness, clear and fair explication
of the purposes of the research and authentic
presentation of the researcher's self' (Lincoln & Guba,
1987, p. 30). All of this is an on-going process and
relies heavily on the researcher's inner moral strength
and knowledge of self.
