Summary

Stories are not just a form of entertainment, they are a useful tool for understanding society. Through storytelling, researchers can uncover how participants view the world and their place in it, making storytelling an excellent tool for exposing social norms, values and issues. By supplying elements such as the setting, characters or plot, you can better connect with your target audience, revealing actionable insights that lead to real-world behaviour change. Sound complicated? Don't fear, our simple guide to using narratives and stories in research makes the process easy - just download it below to get started!
