what is a quantitative study
researchers move from the beginning of a study (posing a question) to the end point (obtaining an answer) in a reasonably linear sequence of steps that is broadly similar across studies.
what is open coding
generating categories
the capture of what is going on in the data such as actual words.
what is substantive codes
in which the empirical substance of the topic is conceptualized
what are theoretical codes
in which higher-order relationships are conceptualized
what is selective coding
After open coding, only data relating to a core category are coded
what is axial coding
where categories are linked with subcategories and integrated
what does substantive coding involve
open coding
what is credibility defined as
which refers to confidence in the truth value of the findings, is sometimes said to be the qualitative equivalent of internal validity.
what assumption does qualitative data make
multiple realities exist
what is investigator triangulation
Strategies for enhancing quality during the coding and analysis of qualitative data
what is data triangulation
using multiple data sources to validate conclusions
what is method triangulation
using multiple methods, such as interviews and observations, to collect data about the same phenomenon
what is theory triangulation
Strategies for enhancing quality during the coding and analysis of qualitative data → (use of competing theories or hypotheses in the analysis and interpretation of data)
what is meant by the term triangulation
is the process of using multiple referents to draw conclusions about what constitutes the truth
what is reflexivity
qualitative researchers need to devote time and energy to analyzing and documenting their presuppositions, biases, and ongoing emotions
