Description:
In this workshop, we will explore how classical content analysis (CA) bridges the worlds of qualitative and quantitative research as a method of text analysis. The key feature of classical CA is that we are working with a closed coding frame, once the pilot work is completed.
We will explore the history of CA, as well as the design of PhD projects using CA, including discussion of sampling, corpus construction, units of analysis, developing and applying a coding frame and the virtue of manual coding. We will also explore questions of objectivity-intersubjectivity, reliability, validity, generalizability, replicability and the use of CA to test hypotheses, as issues fundamental to the thinking about the rigorous application of CA in PhD projects.
