Data Collection
This study is a descriptive study where Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen is used as the data source. The writers collected the data in term of a classification namely feminism. The classification reveals the data which are concerned with human right, women’s right, marriage, equality, dignity, freedom, opportunity, and pride. This deliberation is conducted in relation to answer research problems and to deal with intrinsic and extrinsic elements which are associated with the feminism values.
Data Analysis
The data analyzed by referring to the contents of the novel Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. There are some steps that the writers will apply in analyzing the data which are described as follows:
- To assimilate the contents of feminism; human right, women’s right, marriage, equality, dignity, freedom, opportunity, and pride which are concerned with the humanity values.
- To construct human theories that provide discussion on other positive and negative opinions.
- To determine the relationship between intrinsic factors and human values.
- To apply those human values in the form of theoretical claims.
Triangulation
To show the validity of the study the writers presents the theory of triangulation. A single method can never adequately shed light on a phenomenon. Using multiple
methods can help facilitate deeper understanding.
Triangulation may take several forms, but commonly refers to the employment of multiple data sources, data collection methods, or investigators. In general, the purpose of this would be to reduce the disadvantages inherent in the use (Long & Johnson, 2000, p.34). Furthermore, according to Guion (2002, p.1) “triangulation is a method used by qualitative researchers to check and establish validity in their studies.”
The above quotations show that to get the legality, the finding data which is classified accurate should be tested again. In order to be more steady and logical to testing the steadiness of the thesis finding, the writers applies the term triangulation that is the activity to test or recheck the finding data which synergizes each other. To determine the validity of data (trustworthiness) needs technique of investigation. According to Shenton (2004, p.73) there are four strategies/ criteria for ensuring trustworthiness in qualitative research projects. The criteria can be seen in the Table 1.
According to Guion (2002, p.1) there are five types of triangulation namely data triangulation, investigator triangulation, theory triangulation, methodological triangulation, and environmental triangulation. In this study the writers will apply data triangulation. Guion (2002, p.1) state “Data triangulation involves the use of different sources of data/ information.” The sources could be thesis, literary journal, literary critic, and other fiction. The data applied in triangulation of this study are as follows:
- Bunch, C. 1990. A Journal: Women's Rights as Human Rights. Maryland: Johns Hopkins University Press.
- Bunch, C. 1990. A Journal: Women's Rights as Human Rights. Maryland: Johns Hopkins University Press.
