3. After listening to YouTube "histogram and polygon," explain how histogram is different and similar to polygon.:

The difference from a histogram and a polygon is that in the histogram, it has the frequency in the y axis but the histogram is a bar graph that graphs the frequency with the range of scores. In the polygon It also has a frequency in the y axis but it's a line graph that graphs the midpoint from the scores and not the bin itself. But It is still trying to convey the same data as the histogram though. The frequency number is also on each midpoint score.

Once the session is completed, how would the interviewer (researcher) summarize the discussion??

The interviewer summarized the discussion as Kimchi is Love. Throughout the whole interview, Koreans and Korean-American individuals got together and talked about how they viewed the korean dish, Kimchi. Many individuals described kimchi as important to their families. Many described how their families viewed kimchi. Responses are "as kids, my mom gets sad if we don't eat kimchi", "Koreans don't get SARS because they each have plenty of kimchi", etc. It is an interview about the point of view of kimchi in Korean families.

How did the interviewer include everyone in the discussion? What are examples?

The interviewer would ask each interviewer to talk and give each of them a chance to share their opinions and thoughts. He/she also encouraged them to talk freely and not in order to keep the conversation engaging and also gives them a chance to answer most of the questions. He/she would also be like "would anyone like to add", "would anyone like to answer this", "speak as freely as you wish",

Advantages and Disadvantages of interviews and grounded theory approach

Advantages •Flexible, adaptable •Used with many different problems and types of persons: illiterate, too young to read and write •Probe responses, followed up, clarified, elaborated to get accurate responses •Nonverbal as well as verbal responses can be noted •Higher response rate (on questions) because interviewer can motivate interviewee Disadvantages •Potential for subjectivity and bias •Higher cost and time-consuming nature •Lack of anonymity (should stress Confidentiality) •Easy to ask "leading questions" •Labor intensive

Throughout the session, the interviewer drove the discussion with 2-3 concepts that came up from earlier sessions. What are those 2-3 CONCEPTS from the recording?

-KImchi(as a product) -how kimchi affects personal identity in Korean born and Korean Americans.

(From the Transcription on pages 3-6) What was the one broad question that the interviewer asked to the group in the beginning?
