Description
Summary:This candidate thesis focuses on the qualitative method of investigating what may affect the individual's experience in meetings with social security officers as well as distinguishing the existence of power relationships.The foundation of our work consists of four semi-structured interviews carefully examined using qualitative content analysis, earlier research and perspectives such as power, stigma and intersectionality. Our selection consists of adult individuals who have their own experiences of meeting social secretaries. The results of our study show that the individual's perceived power is reflected in a broader context in which his past life experience and vision are important. The thesis is supported by the previous research, but also demonstrates a need for future research that emphasizes individual experience further.
