Chapter 24

Qualitative data analysis



Introduction
Main difficulty with qualitative research:

 Is that is very rapidly generates a large, cumbersome database because of its
reliance on prose in the form of such media as field notes, interview transcripts or
documents


General strategies of qualitative data analysis
1. Analytic induction




What is analytic induction?

 Approach to the analysis of data in which the researcher seeks universal
explanations of phenomenon by pursuing the collection of data until mo cases that
are inconsistent with a hypothetical explanation of a phenomenon are found
 A rigorous search for universal explanation of phenomena




1

, Steps:

 Rough definition of research question
 Hypothetical explanation
 Data collection
 Examination of cases
 If any deviant cases found, redefine or reformulate hypothesis
 Continue until all cases fit hypothesis

Problems with analytic induction:

 The final explanations that analytic induction arrives at specify the conditions that are
sufficient for the phenomenon occurring but rarely specify the necessary conditions
 It doesn’t provide useful guidelines as to how many cases need to be investigated
before the absence of negative cases & the validity of the hypothetical explanation
can be confirmed



2. Grounded theory

What is grounded theory?

 Theory that was derived from data, systematically gathered & analyzed through the
research process
 Two central features
o Concerned with the development of theory out of data
o Approach is iterative
 data collection & analysis proceed in tandem, repeatedly referring
back to each other
 Repetitive interplay between data collection and analysis (or theory
building
 Not a theory – it is an approach to the generation of theory out of data

Developments (Glaser & Strauss):

 Straussian model more prescriptive
 Term used loosely by researchers today
 Straussian mode changed a great deal over the years
