ABSTRACT
The article presents a research method on social and family science. There is a need of
introducing new methods of comparative analysis in the perspective of the cooperation
in child and family support institutions. The vignette method is the proposal presented
in the article.
The vignette method has been used in English-speaking countries for many years.
Numerous studies have been conducted using different types of vignettes. This allowed
us to reveal which area of research is the best of its application. At the same time, factors
that may reduce the level of accuracy and reliability and thus the validity of the study have
been identified. Various types of episodes have been presented. The process of preparing
one type of episode was shown also. It was based on the example of a study conducted
under the project ‘Integration of services for families — theoretical and practical contexts’.
The aim of the article is to bring closer to Polish readers this rare method in and to
enable the extension of the research workshop especially for young researchers. It is also
important to be able to undertake wider comparative research using this method, also in
an international perspective.
