You may find many things happening in the setting. Everything may seem significant-or trivial. Reflect on what you are seeing and hearing. Depending on your assessment, such questions as the following may help. • From whose point of view is a given process fundamental? From whose view is it marginal? • How do the observed social processes emerge? How do participants' actions construct them? • Who exerts control over these processes? Under what conditions? • What meanings do different participants attribute to the process? How do they talk about it? What do they emphasize? What do they leave out? • How and when do their meanings and actions concerning the process change?

Consider the following ways to construct data: • Attending to actions and processes as well as to words • Delineating the context, scenes, and situations of action carefully • Recording who did what, when it occurred, why it happened (if you can ascertain the reasons), and how it occurred • Identifying the conditions under which specific actions, intentions, and processes emerge or are muted • Looking for ways to interpret these data • Focusing on specific words and phrases to which participants seem to attribute particular meaning • Finding taken-for-granted and hidden assumptions of various participants; showing how they are revealed through and affect actions.
