PEREZ-SANCHEZ, Jennifer  and  DELGADO, Ana R. A metamethod study of qualitative research on emotion regulation strategies. Pap. Psicol. [online]. 2022, vol.43, n.2, pp.103-109.  Epub July 10, 2023. ISSN 1886-1415.  https://dx.doi.org/10.23923/pap.psicol.2989.

Metamethod studies describe procedures and examine whether the analyses used are appropriate for an area of research, in this case emotion regulation, which has increased in relevance within the field of psychology in recent years. The objective of this study is to carry out a metamethod analysis of qualitative research on emotion regulation strategies. The analysis was based on the reading of abstracts and full texts from 317 publications. When the inclusion criteria were applied, the final sample consisted of 25 studies. Findings indicated consistency between the methods of analysis employed and the focus of the studies. The semi-structured interview was the most common procedure for data collection and thematic analysis the most used method. Consensus among the investigators was the most widespread quality control. To support methodological integrity, it is recommended that qualitative researchers provide more information on procedures and approaches.
