Who would study psychology unless they had some issues?!-Chapter 700 - 617: Just Messing With You
Upon hearing Chonghui ask this question, Team Member Chen swallowed hard.
Followed by a second swallow, and then a third. ๐๐ซ๐๐ฒ๐๐๐ฏ๐๐จ๐ง๐๐.๐๐ ๐ฆ
His brow tightened intensely, as if someone had tied a dead knot.
Chonghui maintained a smile, watching the other person closely, watching him raise and lower his hand, eventually not pressing it against his constantly rising and falling chest.
"If I had to say, it was definitely a 6... no, maybe a 7." Team Member Chen said, "Everyone was so disgusted we nearly vomited... if we didnโt have tasks afterward, we would probably have fainted from nausea."
Seeing the other personโs reactions and hearing the answer now.
Chonghui let out a long sigh of relief in his heart.
The conversation was finally understood.
Of course, Chonghuiโs expression showed no change whatsoever: "So, how many points do you feel the odor is now?"
Team Member Chen thought for a moment: "3 points... it feels really bad, but not to the point of vomiting. But when you just made me recall, it was about 4 points..."
Chonghui made a joke: "Almost ready to throw up, huh?"
Team Member Chen laughed along with him.
The Black Circle Teacher standing at the back couldnโt laugh; he opened his mouth as if feeling it was time to intervene and make a scale, to collect data for their research group.
But after careful consideration, he stopped his actions.
Shi Qianqianโs pen strokes kept going without pause.
...
And following this question, Chonghuiโs interview-style information collection finally formally proceeded.
His language became more direct, occasionally returning to previous topics, re-questioning Team Member Chenโs feelings, and the first feelings when encountering unexpected situations.
This time, when asking, Chonghui included data, constantly letting Team Member Chen describe the level of his feelings with detailed numbers.
Shi Qianqianโs pen kept writing, continually turning back to supplement.
Adding corresponding numbers behind descriptions like [stomach discomfort], [fear], [anxiety].
These were the data they needed.
After about an hour, the conversation ended.
Chonghui said, "If possible, I would like to chat with your other team members, would that be okay?"
As he asked the last "would that be okay?", Chonghui not only asked Team Member Chen but also looked up for the nurseโs opinion.
Team Member Chen readily agreed: "I feel much better... Teacher Chong, youโre indeed Teacher Nanโs Senior Brother..."
He also very much hoped his current condition could be replicated in the team members, reducing their pain.
The nurse seemed a bit hesitant: "Old Chenโs condition is the lightest in their team, you know."
Despite the nurseโs reminder, Chonghui and the others naturally wouldnโt back down, or perhaps they had long been mentally prepared.
Team Member Chen and the nurse quickly left to coordinate other team members, since those with more severe conditions were still bedridden.
At this moment, the Black Circle Teacher hesitated, and asked Chonghui, "That rescue team member surnamed Chen... is his current condition suitable for making a scale?"
The Black Circle Teacher probably did not realize that his voice at the moment was humble to an unbelievable extent, already near the level when facing his Brother Yijin Jiao.
Chonghui glanced at him: "Itโs doable, but just like we said earlierโeven if heโs in a better state now and wonโt be triggered by your questions, his cognitive resources are still limited, so the scores on your scale will have issues."
The Black Circle Teacher was stunned, not because of Chonghuiโs advice.
But because he didnโt expect Chonghui to actually nod in agreement.
Chonghui chuckled lightly: "If you canโt retrieve that scale data, Professor Ji probably wonโt give you an easy time, right?"
The Black Circle Teacher mumbled words he couldnโt say.
Indeed so.
His earlier request was actually hoping for Chonghui to refuse him, so he could at least account to the teacherโthus he would not be seen as "unable to acquire data", but rather "impeded by other research groups from conducting work."
Who would have thought Chonghui would be so considerate.
The Black Circle Teacher was somewhat touched at the moment; was there really a normal person in Teacher Bai Qinghuaโs research group?
In that instant, Chonghuiโs status in the Black Circle Teacherโs mind was on par with Brother Yijin Jiao.
So much so that he instinctively asked: "Senior Brother Chong... how can you analyze the data you just collected?"
As soon as the words were out, the Black Circle Teacher felt he had acted foolishly, how could the other person answer such a question?
However, the next second, a voice came from the side: "It can be used for [qualitative analysis] and [quantitative analysis], subsequently used for modeling."
It was Shi Qianqian.
"...???" The Black Circle Teacher blinked.
Shi Qianqian snorted at the Black Circle Teacherโs reaction and said, "You donโt understand [qualitative analysis]?"
The truth was like a sharp knife. The Black Circle Teacher lowered his head once more.
In many research fields, as researchers advance, their knowledge becomes deeper and narrower, showing high specialization, to the point of forgetting even some basic knowledge. If they encounter it by chance, they need to refer to textbooks.
Just like in psychological consultation, many leading consultants become specialized in one school of thought; consultants like Nan Zhubin, who adjust techniques for different visitors, are among the absolute few, even considered anomalies.
Elites are often outside the norm.
Many high-end papers have multiple people as the first authors, because a complete project often requires the cooperation of people taking different paths to achieve results.
The Black Circle Teacher showed an unusual docility at this moment, a pure thirst for knowledge: "Which parts of Senior Brother Chongโs conversation just now can be used in [qualitative analysis]?"
...
[Qualitative Analysis] is a research method that systematically processes and analyzes non-numeric data (such as text, dialogue, observation records) to deeply understand the meanings, patterns, and inherent structures behind phenomena.
It does not chase the quantity or universality of data but focuses on digging deep, rich details in specific contexts, addressing the questions of "why" and "how" things happen.
For instance, the "Always feel thereโs a strange smell by the nose..." mentioned in Chonghuiโs conversation was coded by Shi Qianqian as [Intrusive Sensory Experience: Olfactory (illusory/fluctuating). Self-awareness: Partially existing], such a record.
Based on the coding, subsequent actions involve searching, reviewing, defining, and naming important recurring patterns in the data for summarization.
Just like the previous Team Member Chen, including [Theme 1: Intrusive Symptoms (sub-themes: sensory intrusion, memory flashbacks)], [Theme 2: Somatic Reaction (sub-themes: gastrointestinal response, muscle tension)], and so on.
Once these analyses are completed, qualitative and quantitative research can be conducted, such as identifying the nodes triggering Team Member Chenโs symptoms, and the total number of team members exhibiting similar symptoms.
...
The above outlines the subsequent processing plan for the data by Chonghui and Shi Qianqian.
However, facing the Black Circle Teacherโs question, Shi Qianqian didnโt answer this way but instead curled her lips.
Her eyes also bent up: "Itโs the research groupโs secret, why should I tell you?"
The Black Circle Teacher was taken aback, looked at Chonghui, and found that the big guy no longer had a soft demeanor, just watching Shi Qianqian, smiling and shaking his head.
Seems like... he was being played?
