Thin Description
provides an explanation of communication with little sense of what the actions mean to
the participants.
It might be very detailed and accurate in terms of each action, but it does not address
why the actions were taken, how the actors interpreted the actions, how they felt about
what happened, and so on.
done by quantitative researchers and/or by unskilled qualitative researchers.
Thick description
describes communication with an explanation from the "native's" point of view.
The goal is not to merely describe what the actions were, nor what the researcher thinks
they mean, but what they mean to the people involved in the communication.
Requires the researcher to spend more time with the people he/she studies, to pay
attention to them more, and to interact with them more than quantitative researchers do.
It also means that qualitative researchers cannot deal with nearly as many people as do
quantitative researchers.
