ABSTRACT BOOK WEDNESDAY, June 16th 16.00-20.00 PRE CONFERENCE WORKSHOP Publishing Qualitative Research Brendan Gough, Leeds Beckett University, United Kingdom This workshop is designed to help colleagues make informed choices about publishing qualitative research. The workshop will cover o Different types of qualitative research paper o Empirical v position papers o Epistemologies o Modes of data collection o ‘naturalistic’ and online data o Aspects of quality and distinction o Some ‘model’ articles o Reasons for manuscript rejection o Sample rejection letters o Validity issues o Various approaches to rigour o ‘Friendly’ outlets for qualitative research within Psychology and beyond Examples of published work will be discussed, covering different methodologies, methods and positions, with a view to identifying best practice for diverse audiences. Participants are also invited to bring works in progress for discussion at the workshop. 1 Time scheduling is according to Eastern European Time (EEST) THURSDAY, June 17th 11.00-11.30 WELCOME Maria del Rio Carral, President of EQuiP Eleftheria Tseliou, Conference Chair Carolin Demuth, Conference co-Chair Eugenie Georgaca, Conference co-Chair 11.30-14.00 INVITED PANEL | ROOM #1 Creating bridges between European qualitative researchers Chair: Eugenie Georgaca, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece Speakers: Katharina Hametner, Sigmund Freud Private University Vienna, Austria Jan de Mol, UCLouvain, Belgium Irina Todorova, Northeastern University, Boston & Health Psychology Research Center, Bulgaria Irini Kadianaki, University of Cyprus, Cyprus Noomi Matthiesen, Aalborg University, Denmark Jarl Wahlström, University of Jyväskylä, Finland Nicolas Dauman, University of Poitiers, France Carolin Demuth, Aalborg University, Denmark Philia Issari, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Greece Asztrik Kovács, Eötvös Loránd University, Hungary Maria Dempsey, University College Cork, Ireland Lorenzo Montali, University of Milan-Bicocca, Italy Milda Kukulskienė, Lithuanian University of Health Sciences, Lithuania Luke Joseph Buhagiar, University of Malta, Malta Anneke Sools, University of Twente, Netherlands Ingunn Johanne Ness, University of Bergen, Norway Bernadetta Janusz, Jagiellonian University, Poland Paula Castro, University Institute of Lisbon (ISCTE-IUL), Portugal Adriana Baban, Babes-Bolyai University, Romania Natalia Busygina, Moscow State University of Psychology & Education, Russia Sue Widdicombe, University of Edinburgh, Scotland Biljana Stanković, University of Belgrade, Serbia Radomír Masaryk, Comenius University, Slovakia Maja Smrdu, University of Primorska, Slovenia Marco Gemignani, Universidad Loyola, Spain Maria del Rio Carral, University of Lausanne, Switzerland Joanna Brooks, The University of Manchester, United Kingdom Oxana Bayer, Alfred Nobel University, Ukraine 2 Time scheduling is according to Eastern European Time (EEST) As EQuiP is a new association, trying to bring together qualitative researchers in psychology from all European countries, this panel aims to ‘create bridges’ between people and research traditions of different European countries, through taking a simple first step: introducing As EQuiP is a new association, trying to bring together qualitative researchers in psychology from all European countries, this panel aims to ‘create bridges’ between people and research traditions of different European countries, through taking a simple first step: introducing ourselves to one another! We envisage this to be an informal and lively session, during which speakers briefly describe the situation of qualitative research in psychology in their country. Each speaker has been asked to address: a) how developed qualitative psychology research is in their country, b) what fields of psychology are covered, c) which research methodologies are more popular, d) where qualitative research is done and by whom. There will be time for discussion as well as spontaneous presentations of countries not included in the list. Through participation of 28 countries, we are very much looking forward to collectively constructing a panorama of qualitative psychology research in Europe, as a beginning of future collaborations that will help shape the future of European qualitative research in psychology.

It is in this practice of crossing that the border reveals itself in all its porosity, liminality and fragility, characteristics that can open up potential new research paths. In psychology, the wide range of qualitative studies has made it possible to overcome many of the perimeters/contours that have characterized (and still characterize) our discipline. Through qualitative research practices, numerous transitions have been achieved: the shift from a focus on the individual to one upon the relationships between individuals as the constitutive element of phenomena; from research in the laboratory to research in the actual live contexts in which these phenomena 3 Time scheduling is according to Eastern European Time (EEST) occur, from mathematical formalization to the importance attributed to words and discourses; from the central position given to variables in the explanation of phenomena to an interpretative reading of reality so as to grasp it in all its complexity. In this symposium, some researchers will present their ongoing research projects on different science and technology issues, analysing their impact on society. Furthermore, they will reflect on how the metaphor of crossing the border acts in their research. The symposium hopes to be an opportunity to work through the image of crossing borders and see how this image can be put to work in qualitative research in terms of interdisciplinarity, variety of contents, the methods used and the phenomena investigated. Managing diversity in healthcare. Perspectives on cultural competence Andreina Bruno , Giuseppina Dell’Aversana, University of Genoa, Italy Aim/background. Cultural competence (CC) for professionals and organizations has been recognized as a key strategy to reduce health care inequalities for migrants and to promote responsiveness to diversity. Its definition is currently debated: some authors criticized CC discourse by highlighting that the lack of conceptual clarity around the use of the term ‘culture’ in clinical encounters may inadvertently reinforce racial and ethnic biases and stereotypes. The aim of the study is to explore in the Italian context some critical issues in the development of CC services and the use and understanding of the CC construct. Methods. According to Creswell (2005), the exploratory nature of qualitative research makes it ideal for exploring a little-known topic, as in the case of Italy’s culturally competent care initiatives. 8 experts with different backgrounds and renowned for their professional expertise in the promotion of migrants health were interviewed. Data were analysed using thematic analysis. Findings. Diversity poses challenges for healthcare providers in the clinical relationship and multiple barriers to quality care services. The use of the term cultural competence does not appear widely diffused and is interpreted using different perspectives, with approaches suggesting to overcome the categorical vision of culture, emphasizing intravariability within cultural groups. Conclusions. Migration is an act of “crossing the borders” that led to cross the borders of our disciplines: it will be discussed how the contribution of various disciplines (anthropology, psychology, organization studies) concur to shed light on diversity in healthcare, considering its ethical and practical dimensions. Crossing identity borders in healthcare interactions with foreign patients Valentina Fantasia, Marilena Fatigante, Cristina Zucchermaglio, Francesca Alby, Sapienza University of Rome, Italy In healthcare encounters, participants’ cultural and social identity plays an important role on their mutual understanding, affecting the shared construction of meanings and practices during the visit (Bischoff et al., 2008; Degrie et al., 2017). Whereas traditional psychological approaches consider social identity as a stable, given entity, qualitative, discursive perspectives examine the situated ways in which identities and positions (Harré
