Observing, questioning, and studying a subset of alienated children in one middle school over the course of a semester would allow Eada to gain a deep understanding of the experiences of these children and the factors that contribute to their sense of alienation. This strategy would provide rich qualitative data that could inform interventions aimed at reducing school violence. Assessing children with Likert scales would provide limited information, and providing a questionnaire to a single child followed by counseling would not be generalizable to other children. Observing a subset of children for a single day would also not provide enough information to gain a thorough understanding of their experiences.
