H. METHODOLOGY\u000AThe investigation bases its analysis on the qualitative method due to the nature of the area of work. At the same time this method was combined with quantitative analysis as support due to the extent of the work area.\u000A1. Instruments for the analysis\u000AFirstly, the investigation is based essentially on the qualitative method. The researcher considers that the qualitative method responds better to the type of investigation carried out. According to Bouma & Atkinson (1995: 206), \u2018Qualitative research can be described as any social science research that produces results that are not obtained by statistical procedures or other methods of quantification\u2019. They then emphasise, \u2018Some of the data may be quantified, but the analysis is qualitative. It can refer to research about people\u2019s lives, their stories, and behaviour and it can also be used to examine organisation, relationships, and social movements\u2019 (1995: 206). According to these authors this method permits one to capture the reason for things: \u2018The essence of this approach is to view events through the perspective of the people who are being studied. What do they think? How do they view the world?\u2019 (1995: 206).\u000AIn the investigation it will be important to know what people think or feel about their role and presence in society as believers. The researcher concentrates his attention on their religious vision and how this is carried over to their daily lives. According to Bouma and Atkinson, \u2018Research done in this way produces descriptive data such as people\u2019s own spoken or written words or observable behaviour\u2019 (1995: 206). They then go on to point out that \u2018The methods used by qualitative researchers include participant observation, unstructured interviews, and life histories\u2019 (1995: 206). In the same line of thought Neuman emphasises that the qualitative researcher does not convert the concepts about social life into quantitative variables, but sees them as being intrinsically qualitative. From that he affirms that the information collected by this method is empirical. In the documents\u000A28\u000A
