Primes

• Rashomon Effect
  • The perspective-bound-account discipline ports from witness studies into ethnography as triangulation, member checking, and reflexive positionality.

    This sourceDevelops triangulation, member checking, and reflexive positionality as the discipline for perspective-bound accounts in qualitative research.

• Triangulation
  • Triangulation is the systematic practice of cross-verifying claims, observations, or conclusions by drawing on multiple independent sources, methods, perspectives, or data streams, thereby increasing confidence in findings and minimizing distortions that arise from any single viewpoint or methodological limitation

Mechanisms

• Diverse Data Source Triangulation
  • The classic misuse is counting sources instead of checking their error mechanisms.

    This sourceEmphasizes the inherent biases of individual sources and methods that triangulation is intended to offset.
