Instructional applications of Q methodology (a set of procedures that can be used in studying the subjective nature of things) provide a means for teaching communication skills, analyzing thinking patterns, making comparative analyses, and structuring intrapersonal processes. Taking the best from quantitative and qualitative research methods, Q-Technique provides a new and creative approach to interdisciplinary teaching. The method seems particularly suited to humanities education by providing a means for students to formulate a Q-Sort based on content from many different fields. By using Q-Methodology, students can even test theories in the field they are studying to see if their thinking processes support the theories. Two major ways that the Q-Technique can be used in teaching the humanities involve students or the teacher compiling a list of statements for a Q-Sort using literature as the source of statements and compiling a list of statements for a Q-Sort using interviews. Anyone using a Q-Sort should consider the various discussions about the advantages and statistical soundness of using a structured Q. (A sample study conducted by students in a communication class on the effect of alcohol use on interpersonal communication is included; 25 references and 2 appendixes containing a questionnaire for a Q-Sort of the effects of alcohol use on interpersonal communication and the Q-Sort are attached.)
