Despite the importance and advantages of including people with dementia in research, there are various challenges for researchers and participants to their involvement. This article draws on the literature and experiences of a diverse group of authors, including a person with dementia, to provide recommendations about conducting research with people with dementia. Particular attention is given to in-depth interviews as a qualitative technique. More specifically, topics discussed include interview guide preparation, recruitment, obtaining consent/assent, conducting effective interviews, analysis and interpretation of data, effective communication of research findings, and reflections and recommendations for maintaining researcher and participant health. Given the current obstacles to participation in research of people with dementia, this is a timely article providing useful insights to promote improved outcomes using in-depth interviews.

“…The limitations of supplied resources and elements include the possibility of some elements/resources having minimal relevance for some participants and/or participants having varied interpretations of the same elements/resources (Fiske, 1995;Fransella, & Bannister, 2004). This issue may be particularly relevant when considering individuals with ASD given their difficulty elaborating on meanings of words due to concrete thinking styles and the possibility of unique uses of words (Cridland et al, 2014b;Gold, & Faust, 2012;Koning, & Magill-Evans, 2001). Several steps were taken to address this issue.…”

Journal of Constructivist Psychology, 29 (1), 30-50. A personal constructivist approach for investigating the patterns of dependency of adolescents with autism spectrum disorder: case study of two families AbstractThis research investigated the utility and practicality of dependency grids for capturing and presenting the dependency distribution patterns of three adolescents with autism spectrum disorder. The investigation also involved family members to explore their level of awareness of the adolescents' dependency preferences. The grids were analyzed using a range of measures, including the uncertainty index and partial order scalogram analysis. Findings indicate the adolescents had various ways of dispersing their dependencies among their resources and differed in the types of support most used. Additionally, family members differed in their awareness of the adolescents' preferences. The benefits and drawbacks of the adolescents' dependency distribution patterns are discussed, as well as implications of these patterns for family members. Ways in which dependency grids may be further used with this population in research and clinical contexts are also considered.Keywords two, families, study, case, spectrum, autism, constructivist, adolescents, approach, dependency, patterns, investigating, disorder, personal

“…An interview guide was developed based on a review of relevant interview guides (Benderix & Sivberg, 2007;Carrington & Graham, 2001;Mascha & Boucher, 2006;Vliem, 2009) and through multiple discussions among the research team. Based on research recommendations (Cridland, Jones, Caputi, & Magee, 2015), the interview guide was pilot tested on one family with an adolescent family member with ASD. Minor wording changes to questions resulted from pilot testing.…”

. (2015). The perceptions and experiences of adolescent boys with autism spectrum disorder: a personal construct psychology perspective. Journal of Intellectual and Developmental Disability, 40 (4), 354-367.The perceptions and experiences of adolescent boys with autism spectrum disorder: a personal construct psychology perspective AbstractBackground This study applies personal construct psychology for understanding the experiences of adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Method Semistructured interviews were conducted with 26 participants from 8 families, including adolescent males with ASD, mothers, fathers, and adolescent neurotypically developing siblings. Analysis of interview data was structured according to the themes presented in a previous theoretical application of personal construct theory (PCT) for understanding adolescents with ASD. Results Themes included complexity of the adolescent social realm, sense-making in multifaceted situations, identity development, development of flexible processing styles, and understanding and managing physical and emotional changes associated with puberty. Conclusion The study provides empirical support for the application of PCT for understanding adolescents with ASD. The insights provided by the participants may be helpful for adolescents with ASD, family members, and clinicians.
