posted on 2018-09-25, 14:30 authored by David YoungThe organisation of this thesis is as follows. Chapter 2 contains a discussion of the literature that provides a background to the
'problem area' and a reason for the method of approach chosen. Also
Chapter 2 contains a discussion of the literature on 'frame' that
provides the background to the grounded 'theory of framing' developed in Chapter 4. Chapter 3 contains a discussion of the research method,
the sample, and the problems of data collection by videotape in a
participant observation situation. Chapter 4 contains the discussion
of a 'grounded substantive theory of framing'. Chapter 5 seeks to
generalize, develop and apply the theory of framing to the social
class differences between the three groups of mother–child pairs
to, firstly, develop a 'grounded format theory of framing' and, secondly,
comment upon any social class differences found. Chapter 6 summarises
the outcomes of previous Chapters, and discusses the major conclusions.
