Ongoing Projects

Understanding (Non-)Compliance with Mobility Related Measures Against Climate Change

Lead: Ass.-Prof.ⁱⁿⁱⁿ Katharina Hametner & Dr. Markus Wrbouschek (PSY) sowie Prof. Dr. Konrad Lachmayer (JUS)

The research project aims to analyse the topic of climate-related mobility legislation from a psychological and practice-theoretical perspective. In order to achieve a better and more accepted legal framework, subjective perceptions regarding concrete legal mobility provisions related to climate change that serve as behavioural guidelines will be observed and analysed. These perceptions of legal provisions will be related to concrete mobility practices, especially to understand how people comply with and practically promote these measures in the everyday. To take into account the unequal distribution of knowledge and resources concerning climate-conscious behaviour, the project focuses economically differentially situated groups.

Our research will be based on open group discussions with persons from different social backgrounds at the age of 18-27. To analyze the group discussions we employ the Documentary Method, a state-of-the-art method for analyzing group discussions because it provides two distinct steps to address communicative and practical knowledge.

Experiences of pupils in dual training systems using the example of the Ball Sports High School in Vienna

Lead: Armin Klaps, Msc. & Univ.-Ass. Dr. phil. Markus Wrbouschek

The research project is dedicated to the worlds of experience of students in dual education systems (preparation for the Matura, competitive sports with a focus on ball sports). The project focuses on the expectations and demands of young people in relation to the different components of education (development of sporting potential, school education, balancing performance aspects and personality development), but also the consideration of personal perspectives.

• Funded by the City of Vienna
• Part of the research cluster: Sustainability in the field of tension between affectivity/emotion, normativity, need and socio-economic situation

The research project Vienna Mobility Climate examines the everyday mobility practices of young Viennese (18 to 30 years) and asks how climate-related, legal control measures in the field of mobility are experienced against the background of their own practice and social situation.

Duration: March 2024 to February 2025

Finished Projects

The Cultural Heritage of Wilhelm Reich in Ukraine and Romania (Galicia & Bukovina)

Lead: Ass.-Prof. Dr. Stefan Hampl

The aim of this research is to reconstruct the collective memory of the places in Galicia and Bukovina where the psychoanalyst and natural scientist Wilhelm Reich was born and spent his inspiring youth. This involves visiting the villages in Ukraine in person, talking to local people, translating, experiencing, thoroughly documenting the results and conducting archival research. The reappraisal of the cultural heritage of Wilhelm Reich’s origins is thus linked to a variety of interrelated projects. More information on this can be found at https://www.wilhelmrei.ch.

Affects of Postfeminism: A look into the everyday-worlds of post-feminist self-concepts 

Lead: Ass.-Prof.ⁱⁿ Dr.ⁱⁿ Katharina Hametner & Univ.-Ass.ⁱⁿ Natalie Rodax, MSc

Current media discourses on femininity and gender equality in the global North rely heavily on a rhetoric of freedom of choice. This rhetoric includes the idea that a woman can choose her life free of (patriarchal) restrictions and that gender equality is already largely established. Angela McRobbie speaks in this context of a post-feminist ‘double entanglement’, characterised by an affirmation of freedom of choice while rejecting feminist movements. The aim of the project is to investigate how postfeminist imperatives and ambivalences of choice are inscribed in women’s everyday worlds, or how young women negotiate their own ‘womanhood’ against the backdrop of such debates and integrate it into their self-image. This will be researched from a psychological perspective using conversation-based methods. The guiding question is how ‘modern’ womanhood is experienced and lived individually and, above all, what affective function the freedom of choice staged by the media and politics has.

Research-based Teaching

The research-based teaching at the Institute for Qualitative Social Research offers practice-oriented training and consolidation of qualitative-reconstructive research skills. Due to the connection to real research projects, students gain insights into all phases of the qualitative research process and can thus be introduced to the scientific practice of qualitative social research at an early stage.

The Institute for Qualitative Social Research offers methodological assistance on practical research questions and decisions. You will be supported at different points of the research process in planning and/or implementing qualitative research projects. The methodological advice ranges from design conceptualisation to data analysis and presentation results.
The methodological consultation team draws on many years of experience in supervising qualification theses, conducting commissioned research (e.g. Arbeiterkammer Vienna), developing and conducting teaching research projects (e.g. Divided Lifeworlds) as well as designing and implementing projects funded by third parties (e.g. On the Construction of the Muslim Woman in the Field of Freedom and Coercion) and self-financed studies (e.g. Cultures of Psychosocial Concern).

Do you have questions about your own projects?
Would you like to arrange a counselling appointment?

Contact for SFU employees, students and external parties at qualitative.methoden@sfu.ac.at

A counselling session always lasts 45 minutes!

FOR SFU STAFF:

Employees of the SFU can make use of ‘Qualitative Methodological Consultancy’ for advisory support of their own projects.

We offer assistance in the following areas:

• Support with regard to study design and survey planning, training in survey methods
• Support in data evaluation and training in evaluation methods (especially for documentary methods, content analysis according to Mayring, discourse analysis and ground analysis).
• Support in the preparation and presentation of results in final theses
• In case of special methodological questions, we can individualise the above-mentioned offer upon request. 

METHODOLOGICAL ADVICE FOR EXTERNAL PERSONS:

The above range of services is available on request. We would be happy to provide you with a quote as part of a consultation.

The Research Workshop Qualitative Methods offers the possibility to bring in your own research materials and engage with different research projects and approaches. The goal is the practical examination of qualitative methods and the immersion in concrete research practice.

Methodological and interpretation-related concerns that arise in the context of final theses (at the Bachelor, Master and PhD levels) and research projects are welcome.

Two slots are available per date for bringing in your own materials. Participants who want to participate without their own material are also welcome!

Katharina Hametner, Markus Wrbouschek & Emelie Rack

• Research Workshop FAQs 2024/25 DE-EN.pdf

At the Institute for Qualitative Social Research, workshop talks on current methodological questions take place once per semester. Each workshop begins with a thematic input. This is followed by an exchange about current experiences and challenges in research projects and plans.

More information is available on our German page. 

The Institute for Qualitative Social Research offers the opportunity to complete internships.

On the one hand, an internship offers the opportunity to support ongoing research projects. For example, you can gain experience in field research, conducting and transcribing interviews, group discussions, etc. Interns can also familiarise themselves with various qualitative analysis methods and the possibilities of presenting qualitative research results. On the other hand, interns have the opportunity to observe the teaching of qualitative methods. In addition, interns assist with organisational tasks such as planning events.

Internships at the institute usually comprise 10-20 hours/week over a period of at least three months (longer is also possible). This ensures that interns can immerse themselves more deeply in the work of the institute and at the same time complete the internship alongside their studies with a certain degree of flexibility.

If you have any questions or are interested, please contact us: qualitative.methoden@sfu.ac.at
