團體分析做為質性資料分析的基礎：客觀詮釋學及其序列分析原則

Group Analysis as the Foundation for Qualitative Research: Objectivist Hermeneutics and Sequence Analysis Principles

由德國社會學家Ulrich Oevermann開創的客觀詮釋學（Objective Hermeneutics），與基於該方法論所建立的序列分析（Sequence Analysis），其研究方法特色是要求以團體分析的方式進行資料分析。此方法要求團體成員在遵守序列分析原則的狀況下進行討論，以此避免分析者的主觀見解，構成分析的客觀性。然而，該方法論對於分析過程的指引，在實際團體分析執行時，仍受團體成員間互動而造就的不確定因素影響。以此，本文首先說明客觀詮釋學的分析團體運作模式（延展性原則、節省性原則），及其理論基礎，然後探討團體分析實際操作可能遇到的困難，檢討實際運作與客觀詮釋學分析原則之間的差距。

The Objective Hermeneutics, a methodology pioneered by the German sociologist Ulrich Oevermann, and the Sequence Analysis process based on this methodology, require data analysis in a group format. The approach entails the engagement of group members in discussions that adhere to Sequence Analysis principles, which supports the dual purposes of mitigating the subjective inclinations of analysts and achieving analytical objectivity. However, when following the methodological guidelines of Sequence Analysis, interactions among group members can create uncertainties that require careful discussion. This paper begins with descriptions of the operational modality of Objective Hermeneutic analysis, principles of extensivity and parsimony, and their theoretical underpinnings. It then examines the various challenges that might be encountered during the group analysis process due to its focus on the disjunction between practical implementation and the foundational tenets of Objective Hermeneutics.
