Qualitative Analysis - the analysis of qualitative data such as text data from interview transcripts.
Grounded Theory - an inductive technique of interpreting recorded data about a social phenomenon to build theories about that phenomeonon.
3 Coding Techniques
Open Coding - a process aimed at identifying concepts or key ideas that are hidden within textual data, which are potentially related to the phenomenon of interest.
Categories - tend to be broad and generalizable and ultimately evolve into constructs in a grounded theory; needed to reduce the amount of concepts the researcher must work with and to build a "big picture" of the issues salient to understanding a social phenomenon.
Axial Coding - 2nd phase of grounded theory where the categories and subcategories are assembled into causal relationships or hypotheses that can tentatively explain the phenomenon of interest.
Selective Coding - 3rd & final phase of grounded theory which involves identifying a central category or a core variable and systematically and logically relating this central category to other categories.
Theoretical Saturation - when additional data does not yield any marginal change in the core categories or the relationships.
Constant Comparison Process - implies continuous rearrangement, aggregation, and refinement of categories, relationships, and interpretations based on increasing depth of understanding and an iterative interplay of four stages of activities:

4). Writing theory (using techniques like memoing, storylining, and diagramming
Storylining - categories and relationships are used to explicate and/or refine a story of the observed phenomenon.
Memoing - the process of using these memos to discover patterns and relationships between categories using two-by-two tables, diagrams, or figures, or other illustrative displays.
Concept Mapping - a graphical representation of concepts and relationships between those concepts (e.g., using boxes and arrows).
Content Analysis - the systematic analysis of a text (e.g., who says what, to whom, why, and to what extent and with what effect) in a quantitative or qualitative manner.
Unitizing - when the researcher identifies and applies rules to divide each text into segments or "chunks" that can be treated as separate units of analysis.
Sentiment Analysis - a simple type of content analysis; a technique used to capture people's opinion or attitude toward an object, person, or phenomenon.
Hermeneutic Analysis - a special type of content analysis where the researcher tries to "interpret" the subjective meaning of a given text within its socio-historic context.
Exegesis - refers to the interpretation or critical explanation of written text only and especially religious texts.
