Chapter 13 Qualitative Analysis
Qualitative Analysis is an analysis of data such as data from interview transcripts. It emphasis is "making sense" or understanding the phenomenon rather than attempting to predict or explain it.
Grounded Theory- an inductive technique of interpreting recorded data about a social phenomenon to build theories about that phenomenon. First discovered by Glaser and Strauss in 1967, then improved by Strauss and Corbin in 1990.
Strauss and Corbin "further illustrate specific coding techniques- a process of classifying and categorizing text data segments into a set of codes( concepts), categories(constructs), and relationships." (Bhattacherjee, 2012)
Described three coding techniques for anayzing text data: Open, Axial, and selective.
Coding of new data and theory refinement continues until theoretical saturation is reached.
Constant Comparison "implies continuous rearrangement, aggregation, and refinement of categories, relationships, and interpretation based on increasing depth of understanding , and iterative interplay of four stage activities."(Bhattacherjee, 2012)
Content Analysis is the systematic analysis of the content of a text in a quantitative or qualitative manner.
The first step in this is the researcher begins by sampling a selected set of texts from the population of texts to analysis.
Second, the researcher identifies and applies rules to divide each text into segments that can be treated as separate unit of analysis a process called unitizing.

Axial Coding is " where categories and subcategories are assembled into casual relationships or hypotheses that can tentatively explain the phenomenon of interest."(Bhattacherjee, 2012).
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"(Bhattacherjee, 2012)
The researcher examines raw textual data line by line to identify discrete events, incidents, ideas, actions, perceptions, and integration of relevance that are coded as concepts.
Selective Coding " involves identifying a central category or core variable and systematically and logically relating this central category to other categories.:(Bhattacherjee, 2012)
