A Response to Anderson et al

Julia Brannen

Ann Nilsen

University of Bergen

In a recent article in Sociology, Anderson et al. (2005) explore the plans Scottish young adults formulated for their future lives, drawing largely on survey evidence. They do so in the context of taking issue with qualitative research conducted by Brannen and Nilsen (2002) concerning how British young people and young Norwegians think about the future.This article compares the respective studies in greater depth. First, it examines the different aims of the respective studies and their conceptualizations. Second, it looks at issues of methodological difference.

Key Words: focus groups • mixed methods • qualitative and quantitative research • surveys • time perspectives • young people
