The contemporary technique I believe is used in these studies is the act of a content analysis. Content analysis is a technique for objectively and systematically identifying specified characteristics of communication messages. In the article “The Experiences of Older People Who Live with a Long Term Condition”, researchers listened to elders stories about the economy and such. My opinion I feel like this article is based off of a content analysis method. The information included in the abstract has persuaded me that the researchers used the content analysis method. I feel this way due to the information provided, such as the test and the hearing of two women’s stories on their survival. The researchers asked no questions, only herd them out on what they had to say. Instead of asking the elderly people themselves, they ask the nurses that take care of them. The knowledge of the nurses is what the researchers used to put their “answers” to their questions. In the article “Demand-Withdraw Patterns in Marital Conflict in the Home”, it is based off of the act of behavior. In this article to basically sum it up shows to me to be based on relationship problems. The article states most information to come up as negative effects of marital couples, The information included in the abstract of “Demand-Withdraw in Marital Conflict at Home”, makes me feel as in this article is based off of behaviorism. In the abstract it gives me a sum of information on how test have been ran to see the outcome of depression between married couples, living in the same residence. In this abstract it provides information about a hierarchical linear modeling results indicated that husband demand-wife withdraw and wife demand-husband withdraw occurred in the home at equal frequency. To sum it up both were tested and brought up to proof when bringing up the topic of marital relationship. Those feelings led to the topic of wanting to be the “commander role” in the relationship. Basically that means who is going to “where the pants” in the relationship. This is how the abstract makes me lean towards the topic of behaviorism.
