Synopsis
In recent years interest in qualitative research has grown. This growth has been, in part, responsible for encouraging practitioners to consider how qualitative approaches might be of value in applied settings. Already familiar with attribution theory, many of these practitioners have been discouraged from using what could be a very powerful analytical tool for want of an accessible and practicable method. Aimed specifically at practitioners, this book provides details of, and training in, a tried and tested method of identifying, extracting and coding attributions designed explicitly for use in applied settings. Known as the Leeds Attributional Coding System (LACS), this book uses appropriate examples and exercises to show how this method operates. The authors, already using the method in different applied settings, provide case studies and examples from their own work to show how the method can add to the understanding of human behaviour.
