Between Flexibility and Consistency: Using Asynchronous Methods Within a Qualitative Longitudinal Research Conducted During the Pandemic

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to present experiences and outcomes of applying asynchronous techniques in a qualitative longitudinal study conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic. The article indicates benefits and limitations as well as opportunities and threats linked to the methodological approach that employed an asynchronous exchange and participant diaries. The temporal perspective enabled the capturing of the dynamics of change related to the pandemic, which determined the evolution of asynchronous techniques. The remaining challenge concerned keeping the balance between the flexibility and consistency of the methodology as well as ethical standards which would protect the participants’ welfare.
