Hi!
I am creating an interview protocol that includes several name generators and I am using ‘quick add’ to capture the names of alters elicited in each. Since there’s likely overlap in some of the alters, I am keeping a side panel where ego can review who they have already named.
Each name generator corresponds to a type of relation that I am interested in. I originally thought that nominating an alter in a specific name generator already created relational data for that specific type of relation, but I have been testing my protocol and it doesn’t seem to be the case. From looking at your sample protocol, it looks like one needs to create an additional variable within each name generator prompt to collect relational data. Am I correct in this understanding? If that is the case, is there any way to incorporate relational data into data already collected? I have done a few interviews already and if there is any way to do this in some systematic way it would be great. Otherwise I will re-enter the information using a new protocol incorporating additional variables to capture the relation.
Thank you so much for your help and congratulations on developing this tool!
All my best,
Eva
