Case studies Strengths Rich, qualitative data provides in-depth understanding (non- reductive) Can track and describe change over time (not just a ‘snapshot’) Weaknesses Heavy reliance on retrospective & self- report data Non-standardised methods may be difficult to replicate Lack of generalisability psychlotron.org.uk

Case studies and other research Theory ResearchPractice Generate new theoretical ideas Test out existing theories Develop new measuring instruments and research techniques psychlotron.org.uk
