able to “feel” what the group was like.
All of these four reference points enabled me to answer the research questions and come

have been possible to eliminate one reference point over another. Like the points of a compass,
they help to locate the results in a broader picture. A visual representation of these four cardinal
directions is depicted in Figure 5-1.
