William Foote Whyte’s ethnography of Cornerville, is one of the earliest illustrations of which research tradition?
a) Ethnomethodology
b) Grounded theory
c) Case studies
d) Naturalism
e) Institutional ethnography
Answer: D
Naturalism approaches field research assuming that social realities exist which can be observed and reported accurately. William Foote Whyte decided to become an insider during his study to actually get all the information about the social life on the streets that he wanted and to get the most out of it. His reports on the people were made through the experience of being one of the people in the community not an outsider.
