ideas from pennebaker

using liwc software, can get qualitiative data from children adn adolescents through written or spoken word to find out more about self, relationships

isn't then limited to what we know (which is very little) about their ideas, beliefs, attitudes regarding self and peer and romantic relationships during this period

great idea - good way of using qualitiative data rather than forcing a questionnaire when we reallydon't even know how ot construct these questionnaires to be applicable to range of experiences, beliefs, attitudes of this age group in relation to self, peer and romantic relationships
