When and how is content analysis used in qualitative research?
it is applied to the content of documents and other written forms of communication to identify concepts and categories often taking into consideration the frequency in which these appear.
manifest content analysis deals with visible and obvious components of the data while latent content analysis involves interpretation of the underlying meaning.
When and how is thematic analysis used in qualitative research?
similar to content analyis but usually on a smaller scale with more emphasis on generating rich and nuanced interpretations
When and how is framework analysis used in qualitative research?
uses pre-defined themes or categories that will be used to organise and analyse data
