Q

Qualitative data analysis can sometimes be deductive. What does this mean?

A

The researcher may start off with an idea of what pattern will be in the data and then look through the data to find evidence of that pattern

When speech is transcribed verbatim using standard spelling conventions

E.g. I said well, it’s funny. Mrs Schmidt, you would think she’d help. Well Mrs Schmidt was the one, she assumed responsibility for the three specials.

What are the 7 types of qualitative data analyses?

A

1) Content Analysis
2) Ethnographic Approaches
3) Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis
4) Thematic Analysis
5) Discourse or Conversation Analysis
6) Grounded Theory
7) Framework Analysis

20
Q

Which of the 7 qualitative data analyses aims to use Qualitative data to examine patterns in communication in a replicable and systematic manner?

A

Content Analysis

21
Q

Define content analysis

A

Analysis which uses Qualitative data to examine patterns in communication in a replicable and systematic manner.

Systematic labelling of data allows statistical analyses of non-numeric data.

22
Q

Which of the 7 qualitative data analyses is not considered as very qualitative?

A

Content analysis

23
Q

Which of the 7 qualitative data analyses aims to generate theories of social phenomena through systematic data analysis?

A

Grounded theory

24
Q

Define grounded theory

A

Analysis to generate theories of social phenomena through systematic data analysis

It has inductive and deductive stages

25
Q

Which of the 7 qualitative data analyses has inductive and deductive stages?

A

Grounded theory

26
Q

Which of the 7 qualitative data analyses aims to identify the rules of conversational organisation through recorded studies, and naturally occurring talk-in-interaction to discover how participants understand and respond to one another?

A

Discourse or Conversation Analysis

27
Q

Define Discourse or Conversation Analysis

A

Analysis which identifies the rules of conversational organisation.

These are performed through recorded studies, and naturally occurring talk-in-interaction to discover how participants understand and respond to one another.

28
Q

Which of the 7 qualitative data analyses are performed through recorded studies, and naturally occurring talk-in-interaction to discover how participants understand and respond to one another?

A

Discourse or Conversation Analysis

29
Q

Which of the 7 qualitative data analyses aims to offer insights into how a given person, in a given context, makes sense of a given phenomenon?

A

Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis

30
Q

Define Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis

A

An analysis which offers insights into how a given person, in a given context, makes sense of a given phenomenon

Usually these phenomena relate to experiences of some personal significance, such as a major life event, or the development of an important relationship.

Typically uses small homogenous samples.

31
Q

Which of the 7 qualitative data analyses uses small homogenous samples and takes into account one’s major life event, or the development of an important relationship to make sense of a given phenomenon?

A

Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis

32
Q

Which of the 7 qualitative data analyses focuses on individuals and richness of their experience

i.e. how does this specific person experience this very specific thing?

A

Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis

33
Q

Which of the 7 qualitative data analyses is a method for identifying, analysing and reporting patterns (themes) within data and minimally organises and describes your data in (rich) detail by interpreting various aspects of the research topic?

A

Thematic Analysis

34
Q

Define thematic analysis

A

A method for identifying, analysing and reporting patterns (themes) within data.

It minimally organises and describes your data in (rich) detail.

However, frequently it goes further than this, and interprets various aspects of the research topic

35
Q

What makes thematic analysis unique?

A

Flexibility

e.g. sematic or latent; inductive or deductive, essentialist or constructionist

36
Q

Which of the 7 qualitative data analyses is the most flexible?

A

Thematic analysis

37
Q

What are the 8 benefits of thematic analysis?

A

1) Flexibility e.g. sematic or latent; inductive or deductive, essentialist or constructionist

2) Relatively easy and quick to learn and do

3) Accessible to novice researchers

4) Summarises key features of a large body of data

5) Highlight similarities and differences across a data set

6) Can generate unanticipated insights

7) Allows for social and psychological interpretations of data

8) Results accessible to educate the general public and useful for producing qualitative analyses suited to informing policy development

38
Q

What are the 6 phases of thematic analysis?

A
  1. Data familiarisation
  2. Generating codes
  3. Searching for themes
  4. Reviewing themes
  5. Defining and naming themes
  6. Producing the report / paper
39
Q

What is data familiarisation?

A

Reading the data

40
Q

What is generating codes?

A

Labelling ideas in the data that are relevant to the RQ

41
Q

What is searching for themes?

A

Grouping related codes into candidate themes

42
Q

What is reviewing themes?

A

Checking themes ‘fit’ the data and address the RQ

43
Q

What are defining and naming themes?

A

Describing themes and selecting data extracts

44
Q

What is producing the report/paper?

A

Writing an introduction, method, findings and discussion
