Member check
In qualitative research, a member check, also known as informant feedback or respondent validation, is a technique used by researchers to help improve the accuracy, credibility, validity, and transferability (also known as applicability, , or fittingness) of a study.〔http://books.google.com/books?id=_ORLnBU6G5EC&pg=PA104&lpg=PA104&dq=interpretation+of+member+check&source=web&ots=vHqbwbPBmG&sig=amsKnqelNLmLReS8aHYM50ncLxc&hl=en&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=1&ct=result#PPA104,M1〕 There are many subcategories of members checks, including; narrative accuracy checks, interpretive validity, descriptive validity, theoretical validity, and evaluative validity. In many member checks, the interpretation and report (or a portion of it) is given to members of the sample (informants) in order to check the authenticity of the work. Their comments serve as a check on the viability of the interpretation.〔http://books.google.com/books?id=_ORLnBU6G5EC&pg=PA104&lpg=PA104&dq=interpretation+of+member+check&source=web&ots=vHqbwbPBmG&sig=amsKnqelNLmLReS8aHYM50ncLxc&hl=en&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=1&ct=result#PPA104,M1〕
Member checking can be done during the interview process, at the conclusion of the study, or both to increase the credibility and validity (statistics) of a qualitative study. The interviewer should strive to build rapport with the interviewee in order to obtain honest and open responses. During an interview, the researcher will restate or summarize information and then question the participant to determine accuracy. Member checks completed after a study are completed by sharing all of the findings with the participants involved. This allows participants to critically analyze the findings and comment on them. The participants either affirm that the summaries reflect their views, feelings, and experiences, or that they do not reflect these experiences. If the participants affirm the accuracy and completeness, then the study is said to have credibility. These member checks are not without fault, but serve to decrease the incidence of incorrect data and the incorrect interpretation of data. The overall goal of this process is to provide findings that are authentic, original and reliable.
==Positive Aspects of Member-Checking==
Member checking provides an opportunity to understand and determine what the author intended to do through their actions. It gives them the ability to correct errors and challenge what are perceived as wrong interpretations. Member checking provides the opportunity to volunteer additional information which may be stimulated by the playing back process. Gets respondent on the record with their reports. Provides people that respond the opportunity to assess adequacy of data and preliminary results as well as to confirm particular aspects of the data. The ability to summarize the preliminary findings.The major problem with member checking however is that it relies on the assumption that there is a fixed truth of reality that can be accounted for by a researcher and can be confirmed by a respondent, which may not be true. In fact, member checks are not consistent with the philosophy of non positivistic qualitative research methods.〔http://www.qualres.org/HomeMemb-3696.html〕 See positivism for more information on philosophy of approach.
