Analysis of thirteen narrative strategies in storytelling : Black professionals

The qualitative dataset for this study includes 13 participants who were purposively drawn from the registered professions of accounting, engineering and industrial psychology, using both convenience and snowball sampling. Data was analysed in line with the narrative approach to individual stories, to identify the narrative strategies used by Black professionals in maintaining a positive, coherent sense of identity using an existing framework.
The narrative strategy model employed evolved during several iterations in which the themes relating to narrative strategies were constantly reviewed, adjusted and refined. Our dual aim was to capture the experiences of the interviewees and to identify the narrative strategies they used in talking about them.

本研究的定性数据集由13名参与者组成，这些参与者经过有意选择，来自注册的会计、工程和工业心理学等职业，采用了便利抽样和滚雪球抽样的方法。数据分析遵循叙事方法，对个人故事进行解读，旨在识别黑人专业人士在维持积极、连贯的自我认同感时所使用的叙事策略，并参照既有的框架进行分析。所采用的叙事策略模型在多次迭代中不断审视、调整和精炼相关主题。我们的双重目标是捕捉受访者的经历，并识别他们在谈论这些经历时所采用的叙事策略。
