From: Measuring a family sense of coherence: a rasch-based study extending dyadic data analyses
Individual parts | Dyadic parts | Family as a whole | |
|---|---|---|---|
Collect data from one person | E.g. patient’s view of his/her ability in the family | E.g. patient’s view of two family members’ ability in the family | E.g. patient’s view of the family’s ability as a whole |
Collect data from two (or more) persons and treat them as if they were independent (dyadic-informant perspective) | NA | E.g. family’s view of their part of the ability in the family | E.g. family’s view of the family’s ability as a whole |
Collect data from two (or more) persons and make separate analyses for the two dyad members (single-informant perspective) | E.g. patient’s and family member’s view of his/her ability in the family | E.g. patient’s and family member’s view of two family members’ ability in the family | E.g. patient’s and family member’s view of the family’s ability as a whole |
