CORONA LISBOA, José Luis  and  MALDONADO JULIO, José Fermín. Qualitative Research: Emic-Etic Approach. Rev Cubana Invest Bioméd [online]. 2018, vol.37, n.4, pp. 1-4. ISSN 1561-3011.

This document is a reflexive essay whose objective is to analyze the "Qualitative Research from the Emic-Etic approach". For this, the concepts of qualitative research and the relation with the terms Emic and Etic are explored, as well as the importance of the same in the scientific work of the researcher. We used exhaustive documentary research for the hermeneutic analysis of various scientific publications related to the subject of study. It is concluded that the qualitative research supports its methodological vision based on the Emic-Etic approach, where the versions and opinions of the participants and the researcher interact with respect to the facts and phenomena of study, to construct reality in a cooperative way.

Keywords : Qualitative research; emic approach; etic approach.
