Given the subjective nature of qualitative research, the views of emic and etic play an important role in life history research. The terms "emic" and "etic" were first created by a linguist Kenneth PIKE in 1954 and then expanded in his book "The Relationship between Language and Unified Theory of Human Behavior Structure" (1967) It was. PIKE derives the term "etic" from the word suffix of voice. This is used to study the speech function of the language, regardless of the speech commonly used in human language, especially its meaning. Similarly, "emic" derives from the term "phoneme", which is mainly related to acoustics, extrinsic attributes and semantic meaning (BERRY, POORTINGA, SEGALL & DASEN, 1992; HELFRICH, 1999 ; YIN, 2010). Immediately after they were introduced into linguistics, anthropologist theorist Marvin Harris used "emic" and "etic" in his book "The Culture of Cultural Things" (1964).

Reconsidering the tension between the perspective of Emic and Etic in life history research: lessons learned

1 Kenneth Pike created the term etic and emic in 1954. They first appeared in his book "The Language Related to Unified Theory of Human Behavior Structure". Echic refers to the recognition of unexplained "raw" data by trained observers. Emic represents how the system interprets "data" as a system. Practice of day care is quite different, cultural scripts are undoubtedly influencing contact and communication between caregivers and children through conditions and practices that keep the situation, sleeping together, interacting (Goldberg, 1991; Zaslow & Rogoff, 1981), Greenfield, 1994; Hess et al. 1980; Hopkins & Westra, 1989; Kilbride & Kilbride, 1974; Ogbu, 1981, 1994; Winn, Tronick & Morelli,

There are two types of anthropological research. Ecchic from the outside of the social group and emo from inside. While Emic tends to be an observer's point of view and thought to be more intercultural neutral, Emic is considered subjective and more realistic. The richest understanding of culture comes from two combinations. Most major brands using mass media highlight this. This approach can have a broader range of cultural applications, but at the expense of its reliability as it is highly neutral. This is particularly true as it makes it very difficult for subculture growth and diversity to keep up to date. Therefore, there is nothing that can replace the direct information of the market or subculture your brand wants to talk about. In most cases, the most effective and respectful way to provide the emic perspective is guided immersion.
