摘要
如何跨越经验个案,是定性研究中的一个难题.就此而言,以往研究大多陷入了误区.这表现在:一方面,追求个案的代表性;另一方面,试图迈向对事物的整体性认知.这背后隐含了归纳主义的知识增长模式,但其存在不可避免的困难.与之相对的是理论的演绎检验方法,由问题出发建构因果理论并对之进行验证.基于这一逻辑,对因果机制的探寻是个案研究的优势所在,其中,过程追踪法最常见.然而,如果离开了比较个案研究,个案研究的价值将会被削弱.
How to transcend the empirical case is a difficult problem in qualitative research.In this regard,most of the previous studies fell into a misunderstanding.This is embodied in:on the one hand,the pursuit of representativeness of one case;On the other hand,moving towards a holistic understanding of things.This implies the inductive mode of knowledge growth,but it has inevitable difficulties.The opposite is the deductive test method of theory,which constructs and verifies the causal theory based on the problem.Based on this logic,the exploration of causal mechanism is the advantage of case study,among which the process tracing method is the most common.However,without comparative case studies,the value of case studies will be weakened greatly.
