AO1 (4 marks), AO3 (4 marks)
AO1
- The researchers used participant observation of Sunday
services and after-church religious activities for three
months.
- In depth interviews with open ended questions were
conducted with 10
- All individuals interviewed were female Filipino domestic
workers aged in their mid-twenties to late forties.
AO3
- The results of the study are similar to the findings of Cruz
(2006) increasing the reliability of the conclusions made.
- Observing the participants in their usual religious activities is
high in ecological validity as they are in an everyday
situation.
- The sample is only of females; therefore, the results cannot
be generalised to the population of all Filipino migrants as it
excludes males.
- Participants were aware that they were being observed and
so could display demand characteristics which reduce the
validity of the data gathered.
Look for other reasonable marking points.
