In this article, we introduce participant viewpoint ethnography (PVE), a phenomenological video research method that combines reflexive, interview-based data with video capture of actual experiences. In PVE, participants wear a head-mounted camera to record the phenomena of study from their point of view. The researcher and participant then review…

Behr, Dorothée – Field Methods, 2015
Open-ended probing questions in cross-cultural surveys help uncover equivalence problems in cross-cultural survey research.
