On the analytical capacity of longitudinally collected qualitative interviews in the context of socialisation research
Final Report Abstract
The project examines the analytical potential of qualitative longitudinal interviews. To this end, changes in the self-articulation of adolescents and adults who were interviewed several times over a longer period of time were re-analyzed as documents of a "registering conserved" (Bergmann 1985) social situation. Based on this, it is possible to understand how the interviewee "reconstructed" social realities outside the directly recorded reality of the conversation in the course of their contributions. Consequently, the elements of a speaker's actions habitualized in the socialization process can primarily be read from the way in which she helps to shape the "activity framework" (Schütze 1987) of the social situation interview. Among the young people, a repertoire of narrative competencies in topic-specific narrative episodes became clear over the course of the interviews. Their relationship to cross-thematic self-positioning and positioning by others was revealed in particular via the narrated self, with which a biographically developing self articulates itself. In comparison, the biographical interviews of the adults show a more reflective self-articulation of the self that has become, e.g. in the form of recurring impromptu narratives. The modes of self-articulation were related to the results of the genogram analyses (Bohler 2006), which are based on objective life data on social origins and the stages of institutionalized life events. The central result of the project is the presentation of a methodological-analytical concept for the reconstruction of processes of habitus formation and transformation, which show themselves in constant or changing biographical articulation patterns in interview conversations.
