Qualitative analysis is the analysis of qualitative data such as text data from interview
transcripts.
A creative and investigative mindset is needed for qualitative analysis, based on an ethically enlightened and participant-in-context attitude, and a set of analytic
strategies.
One of these techniques for analyzing text data is grounded theory an inductive technique of interpreting recorded data about a social phenomenon to build
theories about that phenomenon.
To ensure that the theory is based solely on observed
evidence, the grounded theory approach requires that researchers suspend any preexisting
theoretical expectations or biases before data analysis, and let the data dictate the formulation
of the theory.
Open coding is a process aimed at identifying concepts or key ideas that are hidden within textual data, which are potentially related to the phenomenon of interest.
While coding, it is important to identify the
recognizable characteristics of each concept, such as its size, color, or level so
that similar concepts can be grouped together later.
Next, similar concepts are grouped into higher order categories.
While concepts may
be context-specific, categories tend to be broad and generalizable, and ultimately evolve into
constructs in a grounded theory.
The second phase of grounded theory is axial coding, where the categories and
subcategories are assembled into causal relationships or hypotheses that can tentatively
explain the phenomenon of interest.
