In qualitative research, to capture and analyze the participants' “native concepts” is a key to understand their perspectives and ideas. “Native concepts” are those which are used frequently by the participants to express their views of the world and are charged with their emotions. Using “native concepts” to analyze data can not only help the researcher enter the mind of the participants, to understand their way of thinking and meaning making, but also provide useful leads to the overall analysis of research findings. The in_depth exploration of “native concepts” also indicates the researcher's attitude, i.e. to overthrow the existing monopoly of the academia, and to let the voices of ordinary people into the arena of “scientific research”.
