Abstract
Ethnographic data is often regarded solely as qualitative data. Very often, however,
quantitative techniques can serve to illuminate patterns and themes in the ethnographic data
which would be ordinarily missed. In this paper a formal data collection technique, the
Successive Pile Sort, is introduced. Its application to ethnographic data of battered women and
its representation through the quantitative technique of multidimensional scaling is discussed.
