Issues of validity, using a quantitative or statistical approach to criticize an interpretative approach

“a. Does the author believe the argument or interviews of the small number of subjects

would generalize beyond Quibdó to other parts of Colombia or other countries?

b. Is it possible to measure, identify, or test perceptions of hope vs. ilusión? I appreciate

that the author takes an “Interpretivist” approach toward “understanding the meaning

that victims and peacebuilders give to their activities.” That said, it would be helpful to

discuss how to more tractably identify these emotions when they are present. Is it

merely statements and words that external observers might notice? Other indicators?”

The abstract says that the “results suggest first that trust in the chair operates the same way, regardless of the issue under negotiation. . .” Because the interviews were “in-depth”, the sample size was small – there were only two types of negotiations, security and the environment. The total interviewees in each category numbered about 15. No statistics were reported, and no measure of variability of the responses was reported. For such a sample size statistical tests would have very little power. Accordingly I don’t believe this idea, that trust operates the same way across negotiation content , should be announced as a finding. Later writers may believe it and cite it when there’s really no evidence that it’s true. In the abstract the authors use the word “suggest”, but that’s easy to overlook when the abstract itself announces it as one of their findings. I think they should eliminate the similarity-across-content idea.
