Q

What is meant by Thematic analysis?

A

a method of analysing qualitative date by identifying themes

17
Q

What is meant by a theme?

A

a pattern within a set of qualitative data

18
Q

What themes might be present when analyzing a teenage girls diary?

A

Love, friendship, hobbies, family etc.

19
Q

What themes might be present in a transcript of a football match?

A

Goals, passes, defending, strike etc.

20
Q

How does thematic analysis present data?

A

keeping the data qualitative

21
Q

How is thematic analysis different to content analysis?

A

Thematic analysis keeps qualitative data qualitative where as content converts it to quantitative data.

22
Q

Summarise the process of thematic analysis into 4 points

A
  1. read and reread the transcript
  2. identify codes
  3. combine codes into themes
  4. present the data in qualitative format

it is easy to assess the reliability using inter-rater reliability

28

A

as it uses codes which can be operationalised and other researchers can use them

29
Q

A03: What is a weakness of ways of analysing Qualitative data?

A

research bias

30
Q

A03: why is thematic and content analysis open to researcher bias?

A

the researcher has to identify the codes which means they interpret the data

31
Q

A03: Why is it a weakness that researchers have to interpret the data?

A

They are aware of the hypothesis and therefore more likely to identify codes that support their hypothesis

32
Q

A03: if thematic and content analysis is subject to researcher bias, what type of validity is affected and why?

A

internal: we are no longer measuring what we intend to.
