Summary

<p>Q methodology is used to reveal similarities and differences of individual viewpoints from the subjective point of view</p><p>(Brown 1980; Watts &amp; Stenner 2005a). It combines the strong aspects of qualitative and quantitative approaches which</p><p>gives the researcher the opportunity to assess subject matter in a holistic way (Watts &amp; Stenner, 2012). The aim of this</p><p>review is to introduce Q methodology, a research method and approach used in a variety of fields such as psychology,</p><p>health, political science and tourism, to the Turkish scientific literature. It consists of two parts. In the first part, the</p><p>historical and theoretical background of Q methodology is explained by presenting the formation process of Q as a</p><p>methodology, by introducing core Q methodology concepts, and through the relationship of Q methodology with the</p><p>social constructivism. In the second part, the application of Q methodology is described in a stepwise manner, namely,</p><p>a) generation of Q statements, b) application process, and c) analysis and interpretation.</p><p>Keywords: Q methodology, Q sort, operant subjectivity, holism, concourse</p>
