Qualitative research explains tradition-based decisions by helping students explore how people make choices based on long-standing cultural customs. Participants often follow rituals or family rules when selecting careers, food, or relationships. Students learn how these traditions guide behavior, even when the logic behind the choice isn’t obvious.
Following Family Career Paths: Participants choose jobs like teaching or farming because it’s expected in their family. Students see how tradition limits choice.
Marriage Practices Passed Down: Students hear how cultural customs shape when and whom participants marry—such as arranged marriage or dowry traditions.
Food Rules During Festivals: Participants follow rules like fasting or avoiding meat. Students understand how these dietary habits reflect deeper traditions.
Gender Roles in Decision-Making: Some people avoid certain jobs or duties based on tradition. Students explore how gender-based expectations limit opportunities.
Home Location Preferences: Families often choose to live in areas tied to culture or roots. Students learn how tradition influences where people settle.
