“…Figure 3 presents the developed framework, in which the main themes Figure 3 will be used for organizing the presentation of the findings in the following subsections. Verbatim quotations from the participants answers will be used for illustrating their perceptions (Corden & Sainsbury, 2006), which were used for developing substantial themes during the data analysis process.…”

Software requirements express users' needs and constraints for a software system to be constructed in order to solve some real problems. Both researchers and practitioners from industry point out that well performed requirements related activities have very important role for successful realization of software projects. Software developers work on software requirements jointly with software users. Requirements elicitation and specification are especially important since they require software developers with multidisciplinary skills. These activities require not only technical skills but also non-technical or soft skills. This article presents a qualitative study with software developers aimed at inquiring how they perceive soft skills in software requirements activities. The study involved 14 software developers, who were interviewed. Data analysis, based on inductive thematic analysis, resulted in three themes that reflect software developers' perceptions about soft skills. The study findings revealed that software developers are aware of soft skills, recognize the need to improve them and understand their importance in everyday practice. Implications of the research findings for researchers, software developers and managers in software organizations are discussed.

“…Data analysis activities are based on inductive thematic analysis method proposed by Braun and Clarke (2006), aided with the thematic network diagrams proposed by Attride-Stirling (2002 (Corden & Sainsbury, 2006). Verbatim quotations are a common tool for increasing evidential power in qualitative research.…”

“…In particular, vulnerable populations may face harmful consequences if their identities are revealed, and therefore anonymity is upheld to protect this (Baez, 2002). This is particularly important given that research indicates that people often agree to take part in research on the basis of relatively low understanding of how their words will be used (Corden & Sainsbury, 2006;Graham, Grewal, & Lewis, 2007). One risk in qualitative work is deductive disclosure; that is the recognition of certain characteristics by peers or those known to the participants, or recognition on the basis of unique identifiers, and thus one option is to leave some data unpublished to maintain anonymity (Wiles et al, 2008).…”

Parent and child views on anonymity: ‘I’ve got nothing to hide’

There is considerable debate around the application of ethical principles and the notion of risk in qualitative research, and as such it is becoming increasingly important that we have empirical evidence to draw upon to contribute to these arguments. In this article, we use discourse analysis to look at what Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service users think about the role of anonymity in research. We consider the viewpoints of children and their parents to look at how necessary this ethic is and whether there is a possibility that a choice could or should be offered to those participating. Our findings demonstrate variability in perspectives and differences between parent and child views. Our findings highlight that a single approach to qualitative research ethics does not fit all people, and we consider the wider implications of offering choices in research contexts.

“…The author was concerned that the participant may not recognise himself in her (re)presentation of his speech. Demonstrating this conflictual issue, some participants in Corden and Sainsbury's (2006) study believe that attention should not be drawn to impaired speech, whilst others were concerned about the participants' reactions to knowing the researcher had changed their speech. Notably, the first author was reluctant to omit the stutter because she believed it had significance to the focus of the research on voice.…”

“…In capturing this, the author attempted to honour Fearne's discourse and accent, considering such nuances "sonic gems" (Oleksik & Brown, 2008, p. 163) in a study concerned with youth voice. However, there is evidence (see Corden & Sainsbury, 2006) that regional expressions present in verbatim quotations can be considered unattractive, and may lead to negative judgements about the speaker.…”

Doing It Write: Representation and Responsibility in Writing Up Participatory Research Involving Young People

This article adopts a reflexive stance as the authors look back on their doctoral research projects; the first author exploring young people's relationships with community radio, and the second author studying young people's alcohol consumption practices and experiences, both in the North West of England, UK. The authors discuss the methods of data collection they employed, which enabled young people the opportunity to participate in meaningful ways. However, drawing on snapshots from their PhD theses, the authors question whether decisions made when writing up related to protecting anonymity, (re)presenting speech characteristics, and editing, independently of participants, potentially undid some of the hard work exerted in creating an equitable space for young people's contributions, resultantly perpetuating the regulation of young people and keeping them 'in their place'. The authors propose some recommendations for facilitating the inclusion of young people in the writing up of participatory research.
