Abstract

In diesem Beitrag wird die Verwendung einer generativen Metapher für die Analyse von qualitativen Interviews über die Einstellung zum Schwangerschaftsabbruch untersucht. Die Einstellungen hierzu sind in den USA ausgesprochen komplex und multidimensional und erfordern daher subtile Untersuchungsinstrumente. Wir haben die generative Metapher einer "Tür" als Analyseinstrument verwendet, um neue Erkenntnisse über die Einstellungen zum Schwangerschaftsabbruch zu gewinnen, wie sie in 24 halbstrukturierten qualitativen Einzelinterviews mit erwachsenen US-Bürger*innen zum Ausdruck kamen. Die Tür-Metapher vermittelte uns ein Verständnis für die Art und Weise, in der die Teilnehmer*innen ihre Einstellungen bis zu einem gewissen Grad als offen für eine Revision oder Veränderung ansahen, während sie in anderer Hinsicht für eine Revision verschlossen waren. Dieses Spektrum von Offenheit und Geschlossenheit wird bei der Untersuchung von Abtreibungseinstellungen durch dichotome Rahmungen nicht sichtbar. In unserem Beitrag beschreiben wir ausführlich, wie wir die Metapher verwendet haben, um die Komplexität und Multidimensionalität der Abtreibungseinstellungen unserer Gesprächspartner*innen zu verstehen.
