Data collected and analyzed in this study were
understood from an interpretive theoretical
perspective, which calls for "the imaginative
understanding of the studied phenomenon . . .
[and] assumes emergent, multiple realities; indeterminacy; facts and values as linked; truth
as provisional; and social life as processual"
(Charmaz, 2006, p. 126).
Halls, Inc. (NACURH). The survey collected
relevant demographic information and was
used to identify possible participants based on
three criteria: All participants were required to
be residence life professional staff currently
living in and supervising a residential facility
and to have been in a professional role for at
least six months.
The primary researcher, Pressley Rankin,
had no previous knowledge of residence life
before the study. Participants were recruited
using a survey sent to two national listservs for
residence life professionals: the Association of
College and University Housing Officers-International (ACUHO-I) and the National Association of College and University Residence
The final sample population in this study
consisted of twelve individuals, six men and
six women. Nine identified as White or Caucasian, two as Southeast Asian, and one as Multiracial. Participants represented a balance of
public and private institutions of varying size
(see Table 1).
