Cross-case analysis – An analysis that involves an examination of more than one case; this can be either a variable-oriented or case-oriented analysis.
Variable-oriented analysis – An analysis that describes and/or explains a particular variable.
Case-oriented analysis – An analysis that aims to understand a particular case or several cases by looking closely at the details of each.
![Page 6: CHAPTER 13, QUALITATIVE DATA ANALYSIS. Chapter Outline Linking Theory and Analysis Qualitative Data Processing Computer Programs for Qualitative](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012402/56649de65503460f94adf655/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Grounded Theory Method (GTM) – An inductive approach to research in which theories are generated solely from an examination of data rather than being derived deductively.
Constant Comparative Method – A component of the Grounded Theory Method in which observations are compared with one another and with the evolving inductive theory.

Four Stages of Constant Comparative Method (Glaser and Strauss):1. Comparing incident application to each
category2. Integrating categories and their properties3. Delimiting the theory4. Writing theory

Semiotics – The study of signs and the meanings associated with them, “the science of signs.”
What is the meaning of: …a blue ribbon? …”say cheese”? …a cross? …a horseshoe?

Conversation Analysis – A meticulous analysis of the details of conversation, based on a complete transcript that includes pauses, hems and haws.
![Page 10: CHAPTER 13, QUALITATIVE DATA ANALYSIS. Chapter Outline Linking Theory and Analysis Qualitative Data Processing Computer Programs for Qualitative](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012402/56649de65503460f94adf655/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Fundamental Assumptions1. Conversation is a socially constructed activity.2. Conversations must be understood
contextually.3. Conversational analysis aims to understand
the structure and meaning of conversation through excruciatingly accurate transcripts of conversations.

Qualitative Data Processing
Coding – Classifying or categorizing individual pieces of data, coupled with some kind of retrieval system.
Coding Units
Coding as a Physical Act
![Page 12: CHAPTER 13, QUALITATIVE DATA ANALYSIS. Chapter Outline Linking Theory and Analysis Qualitative Data Processing Computer Programs for Qualitative](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012402/56649de65503460f94adf655/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Creating Codes Open Coding – the initial classification and labeling
of concepts in qualitative data analysis.
Axial coding – a reanalysis of the results of open coding in the GTM, aimed at identifying the important, general concepts.
Selective coding – in GTM, this builds on the results of open coding and axial coding to identify the central concept that organizes the other concepts that have been identified in a body of textual materials.

Memoing – Writing memos that become part of the data for analysis in qualitative research such as grounded theory. Memos may describe and define concepts, deal with methodologies issues, or offer initial theoretical formulations. Code Notes Theoretical Notes Operational Notes
