Analyzing qualitative data
01 Jan 2022
Abstract
This chapter compares and contrasts common data analysis strategies for ethnography, narrative analysis, phenomenology, grounded theory, and case study. Description, analysis, and interpretation are the main coding practices in ethnography. Narrative analysis focuses typically on one person's life story as told through many interviews and interactions in the field. Compared with other forms of qualitative research, narrative analysis follows a diversity of forms and can be creative and flexible. Phenomenology examines the essence of lived experience by applying a four-stage analysis approach. Stories of lived experience are generated through multiple in-depth interviews: (a) epoche, (b) bracketing, (c) reduction, and (d) horizontalization. Grounded theorists develop psychological and sociological theoretical propositions anchored in data. The constant comparative method generally involves three phases: (a) open, (b) axial, and (c) selective coding. Case study databases help researchers identify any gaps, so they can shore up their data and prepare them for analysis. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved) (Source: create)
