Credibility assessment in qualitative data analysis entails the comparison of codes of the same content, by different researchers in order to determine the congruence of perceptions.

In content analysis, what does bracketing refer to?

How are qualitative and quantitative research similar or different?

When you analyze qualitative data, you do which of the following?

Poor congruence in the coding of the same content between two different researches in credibility assessment reveals poor credibility in research methods.

You engage in bracketing in order to improve the saturation of your content.

What does narrative analysis focus on?

In narrative analysis, you are more likely to review segments of data from a questionnaire than to engage in interviews.

Compose both a quantitative research question and a qualitative research question that you could pose to your fellow students. For the qualitative study's open-ended question, what are two steps you'd undertake during the content analysis?

One of the procedures in content analysis is to count the number of first-level codes that fall into a second-level code.

Suppose someone said to you that he has walked across a college campus and observed women and men interacting and made some observations about how men and women communicate differently. One of these observations was that men are more likely to boast about their accomplishments and women were more likely to talk about their friends. This person says he has undertaken a qualitative study using his perceptions and observations. He has not made any notes but has just observed. Do you agree that he has undertaken a qualitative research study? Explain why you agree or do not agree with reference to the nature of qualitative data analysis.

In content analysis, the first-level code is ______

In qualitative research, conclusions will be drawn from the ______.
