You are working hard on your analysis. The process is stressful. You really want to impress your supervisor so you can pursue your dream of continuing as a researcher.
Your most interesting result is that the ban on visitors during the pandemic, has not only affected those who actually got regular visits. Also those who rarely had visitors were affected. Your data contains many scattered indications of this, but you have trouble finding a really illustrative quote. Your best candidate is this one:
- “Personally, I am not affected by the ban at all, but I talked to one of the other residents – I can’t remember who – and she said: It’s been really terrible. I don’t get many visitors, but knowing that no one would be allowed to visit me, even if something happened to me, made me feel so lonely.”
The last part of the quote supports your conclusion really nicely. However, the informant is saying something quite different in the first part of the quote.
What do you do?
