Q and You : the Application of Q Methodology in Recreation Research
نویسنده
چکیده
—Researchers have used various qualitative and quantitative methods to deal with subjectivity in studying people’s recreation experiences. Q methodology has been the most eff ective approach for analyzing both qualitative and quantitative aspects of experience, including attitudes or perceptions. Th e method is composed of two main components—Q sorting and Q factor analysis—and allows for the simultaneous study of objective and subjective issues. Th is paper describes Q methods and terminology, past uses of Q in various fi elds of research, and the pros and cons of applying Q in research on recreation experiences.

متن کاملHesitant q-rung orthopair fuzzy aggregation operators with their applications in multi-criteria decision making
The aim of this manuscript is to present a new concept of hesitant q-rung orthopair fuzzy sets (Hq-ROFSs) by combining the concept of the q-ROFSs as well as Hesitant fuzzy sets. The proposed concept is the generalization of the fuzzy sets, intuitionistic fuzzy sets, hesitant fuzzy sets, and Pythagorean fuzzy sets as well as intuitionistic hesitant fuzzy sets (IHFSs) and hesitant Pythagorean fuz...
