From Transforming qualitative data.
The preference for larger N’s is a legacy from quantitative research, where a small number of cases can seriously undermine the press for generalization. How fortunate some researchers are to be able to establish sample size by means of formula! (p. 181)
For the in-depth reportign that is the hallmark of qualitative work, I think the effect is just the opposite: Increasing the number of cases serves only to reduce proportionately the attention that can be given to any one of them. (p.182)
Perhaps we should restate that idea as our own aphorism: Get to the heart of the matter if possible; if not, compare. (p. 183)
I was heartened during a recent rereading of Geertz’s (983) Local Knowledge to find him quoting Santayana’s “famous dictum” that “one compares only when one is unable to gt to the heart of the matter” (p.233). Perhaps we should restate that idea as our own aphorism: Get to the heart of the matter if possible; if not, compare (p.183)
Wolcott suggested to conduct one in-depth case study. The more we increase our number of case, the less we will get in depth. With my own aesthetics by using narrative inquiry, try to reveal “systematic relationships”. That is supposed to be the goal of research.
