- analyzing these concepts in order to find commonalities
2
Q

A
- content analysis
- thematic analysis
- grounded theory
4
Q
Code
A
word or short phrase that represent the essence or key attribute of narrative/verbal information
5
Q
Content analysis
A
categories based on conceptual framework (deductive)
6

- focused on understanding the essence of individual interviews
- establishing links between codes
- narrative
8
Q
Horizontal analysis
A
- focused on aggregation and comparison of content of data across different interviews
- good overview of topics that have been covered
- content
9
Q
Three levels of coding
A
- open
- axial
- selecting
10
Q
Open coding
A
- concepts are identified
- properties and dimensions discovered in data
- very vertical
11
Q
Axial coding
A
- relating categories to subcategories
- linking categories at level of properties and dimensions
- very horizontal
12
Q
Sensitive/selecting coding
A
- integrating and refining theory
- defining categories
- determining key concepts and formulate the essence of key concepts vs line of argumentation
13
Q
External validity
A
if the findings are generalizable to other social settings similarity with theory
how outcomes of the study is related with the outside world.
14
Q
Internal validity
A
there is a strong link between data and theoretical ideas developed
15
Q
Increase internal validity
A
- member checking
- expert checking
- analysing negative cases
- performing a literature review beforehand (as input for design)
- triangulation
- training of researcher
