“…Those that have written Pan-Pacific research methodologies caution people that each of these principles can operate differently dependent on the Pacific community with whom the researcher is working (Airini et al, 2010;Anae et al, 2001;Bennett et al, 2013;Health Research Council, 2014). Much like the use of Pan-Pacific terms (Pasifika, Pacific, Pasifica etc.)…”

“…Relationships are integral to Pacific research; they should be developed and maintained in a respectful manner (Airini et al, 2001(Airini et al, , 2010Anae et al, 2001;Bennett et al, 2013;Health Research Council, 2014). In my study (Naepi, 2018), this meant that I engaged with Pasifika women with the respect that my culture dictates.…”

“…The value of cultural competency in Pacific research refers to both the researcher's culture and also the culture of the community with whom the researcher is working. Researchers must be aware of their own cultural practices and values and understand how these impact their research and relationships in research (Bennett et al, 2013). Researchers should also be aware of the cultural practices and values of the community they are working with.…”

“…Meaningful engagement as a value within Pacific research context requires developing, maintaining and sustaining research relationships built on trust. This can be a long process; however, it is important to recognise that strong relationships produce meaningful and trusted Pacific research (Airini et al, 2010;Anae et al, 2001;Bennett et al, 2013;Health Research Council, 2014). In my 2018 study (Naepi, 2018), I knew many of the collaborators before the research began, either on a personal level or on a professional level.…”

“…As Pacific research methods and methodologies are becoming more popular in research, some institutions, such as the University of Otago, have begun to develop their own Pacific research guidelines (Bennett et al, 2013 Recently, more work is being conducted into what Pacific research methodologies are. Sanga and Reynolds (2017) have argued that careful reflection is needed as Pacific academics move forward with Pacific research methodologies.…”

Masi methodology is a Pacific women centred research methodology. Using masi as an anchoring metaphor for research ensures that research centres Pacific women’s voices, understands that Pacific women’s voices are valuable and provides a way to acknowledge that the knowledge Pacific women hold is useful for generations to come. Building on previously articulated Pan-Pacific research methodologies and methods, masi as methodology specifies that the Pacific women be centred within the research process. Masi methodology like other Pacific research methodologies and methods is capable of being both Pan-Pacific and regionally specific dependent on which community the research is being conducted with. In its current form, masi methodology is not a method; however, like other Pacific research methodologies and methods, it is expected that masi methodology will grow as more Pacific researchers use and engage with the masi methodology.

We interpreted depth interviews and personal observations of 29 Tongan and New Zealand European (NZE) women who self-identified as non-smokers to examine the role of self-construal in the creation and maintenance of their smoking-resistant identities. Our research offers substantive contributions to the smoking prevention literature because most prior work has been situated wholly within Western cultural contexts. We contribute methodologically by showing how a multicultural team-based approach can reap the advantages of interviewer–participant congruity whilst overcoming its limitations, thus paving the way for more fruitful qualitative research with minority groups. Our research also contributes theoretically to the self-construal literature by comparing the role of self-construal not just within the two groups but also across them. Our findings show that independent self-construal played a significant role in NZE women's resistance to smoking. However, for Tongan women, both independent and interdependent self-construals played important roles in their smoking resistance. Our findings both confirm and extend the current view that there are marked differences between collectivist and independent societies. We extend this view because our findings contradict the notion that Tongan women are likely to only use an interdependent self-concept when deciding to resist smoking, suggesting instead that Tongan women negotiate their self-construals in ways that allow them to employ the positives from both Tongan values and Western world views. We suggest that future appeals to Pacific women to resist smoking should draw on both traditional Pacific values and modern Western independence.
