Week 7 Lecture: Qualitative Data Analysis Flashcards

1
Q

Theoretical frameworks

=, –>,1

A

= what underpins how you see world –> influences data collection and analysis
- all research is bound by theoretical framework –> bias

Q

Theoretical Sampling

=, 2

A

= analysing in terms of patterns of response, iterative and simultaneous data collection and analysis
- Induction = idea –> proposition –> works/not to explain event, strategy, action, relationship
- Deduction + verification = testing propositions, finding accounts/data that support/contradict understandings of data

Q

Interactive Process of Data Analysis

8

A
  1. Data collection
  2. data display
  3. reflection on data
  4. data coding
  5. data distillation (reduction)

  7. story interpretation
  8. research conclusions
    all interact, go between them etc.

Q

CAQDAS

=, 4

A

= Computer Assisted Qualitative Data Analysis Software
- enter transcripts –> create categories –> organise
- does data management not analysis
- use when lots of data
- lose interview narrative and focus of participant

Q

Visually displaying qualitative findings

5

A
  • comparison table/matrix
  • hierarchical tree diagram (themes and connections): trunk is key code, branches subcodes
    • e.g. code is ethnicity in …., subcodes = ethnic groupings
  • boxes (connections between themes)
  • physical layout of setting
  • personal or demographic info for each person or site

Q

Modes of Qualitative Data Analysis

4

A
  • content analysis = search for a priori categories, focus on frequency and researchers’ categories
  • thematic analysis = identifies emergent categories via themes, privileges authoria; view of category importance
  • semiotic analysis = interpretation of language through examination of explicit and implicit messages
  • discourse analysis = interpretation of entire systems of communication

Q

Thematic analysis/Grounded theory

=, 3, 2, ()()

A

= identifies emergent categories via themes (create categories based on what ppl say)
- privileges authorial view of category importance
- develop theories grounded in data
- Strategies: theoretical sampling, constant comparison

= cluster similar codes and exclude redundant codes to reduce number while maintaining meaning

Q

Axial coding

=, 2

A

= identify themes by finding categories that cut across data sets
- connect categories and sub categories to put data back together
- split or merge categories

=

A

= unifying codes around a core concept/overarching theme to answer question/develeop theory

17
Q

Saturation

=, 1

A

= little/no new data and no new data fit into developed categories
- coding and analysis occurs until saturation

18
Q

Preliminary Organising Scheme

=

A

= 5-7 themes or descriptions (groups of similar codes) to form major idea, identified by constantly comparing data

19
Q

Constant Comparative Analysis

=

A

= constantly comparing data to find themes –> evolve into theoretical framework –> guides data collection

20
Q

Deviant Case Analysis

=, 1

A

= analysing elements of data that appear to contradict emerging patterns (from data analysis) to refine analysis until account for majority of cases
- revise, broaden or confirm data analysis patterns

21
Q

Negative case analysis

=

A

= identify cases that don’t fit emerging theory

22
Q

Semiotic Analysis

=

A

= interpretation of language through examining implicit and explicit messages (semiotics = symbols)
- assumption that surface signs relate to underlying structure
- assumption of underlying structure

23
Q

Eco (1976) claims about semiotics

2

A

“semiotics studies all cultural processes as processes of communication”
“whole of culture should be studied as a communication phenomenon based on signification systems”

24
Q

Signifier

=

A

= thing that points to underlying meaning

25
Q

Signified

=

A

= meaning being pointed to (by signifier)

26
Q

Denotative meaning

=

A

= obvious (manifest) meaning

27
Q

Connotative meaning

=

A

= meaning from social context, in addition to denotative

28
Q

Polysemy

=

A

= signs being open to multiple interpretations

29
Q

Code

=

A

= generalised meaning instilled in a sign = sign system

30
Q

Discourse Analysis

=, 2

A

= interpretation of entire systems of communication
- focus on language as social practice, how individuals use language in specific social contexts to construct selves and surrounding world
- discourse as constructing or reflecting meaning

31
Q

Doing discourse analysis

5

A
  1. Identify interpretive repetoires = shared ways of talking about world
  2. Identify regulatory social constructs
  3. Consistency in discourse –> indicates particular repertoire (not underlying reality)
  4. Discourse confirmed by use in other texts
  5. Illustrate dominance in specific context
32
Q

Framing of issues

=

A

= construction of language (inclusions and exclusions) to suit purpose

33
Q

Data Analysis in Participant Observation Studies

5

A
  • difficult to interpret
  • analyse convo not individual speakers
  • how decide which observations significant?
  • in social group: cant observe all at once –> who to observe and when
34
Q

Types of Triangulation

A
  • Data triangulation = multiple data source types –> different perspectives
  • Theory triangulation = multiple theoretical perspectives –> interpret single data set
  • Investigator triangulation = multiple researchers interpret data
  • Methodological triangulation = multiple methods –> study single problem
35
Q

Data triangulation

=

A

= multiple data source types –> different perspectives

36
Q

Theory triangulation

=

A

= multiple theoretical perspectives –> interpret single data set

37
Q

Investigator triangulation

=

A

= multiple researchers interpret data

38
Q

Methodological triangulation

=

A

= multiple methods –> study single problem

39
Q

Enhancing trustworthiness in qual studies

4

A
  • member checking = verifying interpretation with participants
  • return of transcript for review
  • provisiding of analysis conclusions
  • triangulation
40
Q

Member checking

=

A

= verifying interpretations with participants

41
Q

Constructing narrative in qual

7

A
  • identify dialogu that supports themes
  • look for dialogue in participant dialect
  • use metaphors and analogies
  • collect quotes
  • find multiple perspectives and contrary evidence
  • look for vivid detail
  • identify tensions and contradictions in individual experiences
