Responding to the stimulus afforded by Little et al.'s "Pragmatic pluralism: Mutual tolerance of contested understandings between orthodox and alternative practitioners in autologous stem cell transplantation," this paper explores how the norms of qualitative inquiry affect the representation of emotion in research reports. It describes a conflict between the construction of emotion in qualitative research accounts and its application to analysis and theorization, whose origins may lie in researchers' reticence when it comes to conveying or using the emotional features of data. The technical aspects of report writing that are associated with this conflict are explored via a deconstruction of Little et al.'s paper and a survey of the qualitative research methods literature. Writing to convey emotion and analysing to include author-constructed emotional context are neglected topics. Using data in Little et al.'s text, the paper demonstrates the importance of author-constructed emotional context to theory generation. The paper recommends the inclusion of emotional context as data in analysis and points to lessons Little et al.'s paper offers in the areas of narrative technique and reflexive practice.
回应 Little 等人的“实用多元论：自体干细胞移植中正统和替代从业者之间有争议的理解的相互宽容”一文，本文探讨了定性研究规范如何影响研究报告中情感的表达。它描述了定性研究报告中情感的构建与其在分析和理论化中的应用之间的冲突，其根源可能在于研究人员在表达或使用数据的情感特征时犹豫不决。通过对 Little 等人的论文进行解构以及对定性研究方法文献的调查，探讨了与这种冲突相关的报告写作的技术方面。写作以传达情感和分析以包括作者构建的情感背景是被忽视的主题。使用 Little 等人文本中的数据，本文演示了作者构建的情感背景对理论生成的重要性。本文建议将情感背景作为数据分析的一部分，并指出 Little 等人的论文在叙事技巧和反思实践领域提供的经验教训。
