Opis

Qualitative content analysis is a powerful method for analysing large amounts of qualitative data collected through interviews or focus groups. This book takes students step-by step through: creating a coding frame, segmenting the material, trying out the coding frame, evaluating the trial coding and carrying out the main coding.

Recenzje

This book provides a well written, clear and detailed account of QCA, highlighting the value of this research method for the analysis of social, political and psychological phenomena

Schreier writes clearly and with authority, positioning QCA in relation to other qualitative research methods and emphasising the hands-on aspects of the analysis process. She offers numerous illuminating examples and helpful pedagogical tools for the reader. This book will thus be most welcomed by students at different levels as well as by researchers.
