A fundamental aim of all qualitative studies is to take the perspective of others and therewith to experience meanings, situations and actions through the eyes of others. This demands data from relatively small strategically selected study groups, in addition to empathy, openness and sensitivity in the researchers. Most qualitative researchers strive to come further than just pure descriptions in their analyses they want to gain an in-depth understanding and explore meanings and processes of everyday life. Interpretation is therefore a basic tool included in all qualitative research.
