Summary
Abstract: Qualitative research is valuable because it allows us to gain a deeper appreciation for the everyday lived experiences of individuals and groups across a wide spectrum of compliance settings. The insights gained from qualitative research may also provide an opportunity to challenge traditional assumptions held in the literature by revealing what we miss when we fail to account for the social context of compliance. In this chapter, qualitative researchers are encouraged to draw on their compliance imaginations in order to develop innovative and creative research projects that explore everyday practices of (non-)compliance.
