Data Collection Method. After reviewing the creativity and related literature, the researcher used the collective data information to design open-ended questions for both informal and in-depth interviews. To collect the data, the methods were separated into two stages: Stage one: Guidance of the in-depth interviews

Data Collection Method. The present study employed a web based survey of undergraduates from Emory University. Respondents were recruited in 44 social science classes including sociology, psychology, economics, anthropology, and political science during a three week period in March 2008.10 Despite my focus on social science classes, I obtained participants in a variety of courses in the hard sciences and humanities because many of these courses were cross-listed in other departments such as Physics, Chemistry, Linguistics, African American Studies, and Women’s Studies. Social science classes were chosen as an avenue of recruitment because it is likely that social science professors are more receptive to allowing class time for recruitment of respondents for a sociology study.11 Very few professors refused to allow me to recruit in their classes. A few professors did not respond to my email or responded after I had already scheduled other recruitments during their class time. During recruitment, I briefly explained the purpose of the survey to the students and also that participation was completely voluntary and the decision to participate would not affect their grades or class standing in any way. I collected 777 email addresses of students interested in participating in the study. At the end of the recruitment period, I emailed the students a link to the survey which was created using Qualtrics Survey Software. Each student received a unique link to the web-based consent form that could only be accessed one time. This procedure

Data Collection Method. To answer the main question, I used semi-structured face-to-face interviews. As Xxxx and Lune (2012) claim, an interview is an effective method of in-depth understanding of the perceptions of participants, learning how they come to attach certain meanings to phenomena or events. According to Xxxxxxxxx and Xxxxxx (1993), a semi-structured interview, compared with a structured interview, allows depth to be achieved by providing the opportunity on the part of the interviewer to probe and expand the interviewee’s response (p.83). At the same time, compared with unstructured interviews, it allows the research to have some predictability and control of the process. Interviews helped me identify the main reasons why parents send their children to values-based schools and which values they prefer to be promoted.
