        Help!  

Term
Definition
Axial coding   2nd level of grounded theory; process of categorizing, recategorizing, and condensing 1st level codes by connecting categories with its subcategories  
🗑
Basic social process (BSP)   central social process merging through an analysis of grounded theory data; it involves an evolving process of coping or adaptation  
🗑
Categorization scheme    
🗑
Componential analysis   comparing and contrasting terms in a domain  
🗑
Conceptual files   physical files w/ coded excerpts of data relevant to specific categories  
🗑
Constant comparison   procedure in grounded theory analysis where newly collected data are compared continuously w/ previously obtained data in attempt to assess similarity  
🗑
Core category/Central category   a pattern of BEHAVIOR PATTERN that’s relevant and/or problematic for participants; the main theme of t/ research  
🗑
Detailed approach   ANALYZING EVERY SENTENCE in effort to grasp the essential meaning of the experience being studied  
🗑
Domain analysis   identifying domains, or units of cultural knowledge  
🗑
Duquesne school   school of phenomenology, based on Husserl’s philosophy  
🗑
Editing analysis style    
🗑
Emergent fit   concept in grounded theory involving comparing new data and new categories w/ previously existing conceptualizations  
🗑
Fit   analysis in which the researcher develops categories of a substantive theory that FIT the data; Glaserian grounded theory  
🗑
Giorgi’s phenomenological method   method designed to capture as closely as possible the way in which the phenomenon is experienced  
🗑
Glaser and Strauss grounded theory method   theory that tries to account for actions in a substantive area from the perspective of those involved; researchers seek to understand actions by focusing on the main concern or problem that the individuals’ behavior is designed to resolve  
🗑
Heideggarian hermeneutics   ”interpretive phenomenology”; asking “What is BEING?”; stressing INTERPRETING & UNDERSTANDING—not just describing human experience; one seeks to interpret the meaning of an object like text, work of art, etc.  
🗑
Holistic approach   viewing TEXT AS A WHOLE in effort to grasp the essential meaning of the experience being studied  
🗑
Immersion/crystallization analysis style    
🗑
Level I codes/In vivo codes   in Glaserian approach, a form of open coding derived directly from t/ language of t/ substantive area & have vivid imagery  
🗑
Level II codes   the collection of open codes from Level I substantive and vivid data into collapsed higher level codes of abstraction  
🗑
Level III codes   theoretical constructs – the most abstract of the 3 codes; they add scope beyond local meanings  
🗑
Memos    
🗑
Meta-matrix   2-dimensional device used in a mixed methods study permiting researchers to recognize import patterns & themes across data sources  
🗑
Open coding   in 1st stage of constant comparative analysis, captures what's going on in data; may be actual words used by participants; researchers ask, “What category or property of a category does incident indicate?”  
🗑
Qualitative content analysis   t/ analysis of narrative data to identify prominent themes & patterns; involves breaking down data into smaller units, coding & naming the units according to represented content, & grouping coded material based on shared concepts.  
🗑
Quasi-statistics   a tabulation of the frequency w/ which certain themes or insights are supported by the data  
🗑
Recontextualization    
🗑
Selective approach   PULLING OUT KEY STATEMENTS & PHRASES in effort to grasp the essential meaning of the experience being studied  
🗑
Selective coding   coding only data related to core variable  
🗑
Substantive codes    
🗑
Taxonomic analysis   selecting key domains and constructing systems of classification (taxonomies)  
🗑
Taxonomy   system of classification  
🗑
Template    
🗑
Template analysis style    
🗑
Theme   an abstract entity that brings meaning and identity to a current experience and its variant manifestations  
🗑
Theme analysis   uncovering cultural themes  
🗑
Theoretical codes   codes providing insight into how substantive codes relate to each other  
🗑
Authenticity   extent to which researchers fairly and faithfully show a range of realities  
🗑
Confirmability   a criterion for integrity referring to the objectivity or neutrality of the data & interpretations  
🗑
Creativity   challenges to traditional ways of thinking, as demonstrated through innovative approaches to collecting, analyzing, & interpreting data  
🗑
Credibility   in QUALITATIVE research, the confidence in the truth of the data (in QUANTITATIVE research, the like term is internal validity)  
🗑
Dependability   in QUALITATIVE research, the stability of the data over time & conditions; (in QUANTITATIVE research it’s reliability)  
🗑
Data triangulation   the use of multiple data sources for the purpose of validating conclusions  
🗑
Explicitness   the ability to follow the researcher’s decisions and interpretive efforts by means of carefully maintained records and explicitly presented results  
🗑
Inquiry audit   scrutiny of data & supporting documents by an external reviewer  
🗑
Integrity   t/ ongoing self-reflection and self-scrutiny to ensure that interpretations are valid and grounded in the data  
🗑
Member checks   t/ provided feedback to participants about emerging interpretations, and getting participants’ reactions; import technique for establishing the credibility of qualitative data  
🗑
Method triangulation   using multiple methods of data collection about the same phenomena  
🗑
Negative case analysis   process where researchers revise their interpretations by including cases that appear to disconfirm earlier hypotheses; goal is to continuously refine hypothesis or theory until it accounts for all cases  
🗑
Peer debriefings   sessions w/ peers to review and explore various aspects of the inquiry  
🗑
Persistent observation   the researchers’ focus on the characteristics or aspects of a situation or a conversation that are relevant to the phenomena being studied  
🗑
Sensitivity   t/ degree to which the research was done in a manner that reflects respectful sensitivity to and concern for the people, groups, and communities being studied  
🗑
Stepwise replication    
🗑
Theory triangulation   using competing theories or hypotheses in analyzing and interpreting the data  
🗑
Thoroughness   adequacy of data as a result of sound sampling and data collection decisions (saturation), as well as the full development of ideas  
🗑
Transferability   t/ potential for findings to have applicability in other settings or groups  
🗑
Trustworthiness   the degree of confidence QUALITATIVE researchers have in their data; it’s assessed using credibility, transferability, dependability, confirmability, & authenticity  
🗑
Prolonged engagement   t/ investment of sufficient time collecting data to have an in-depth understanding of the people under study; to test for misinformation and distortions, and to ensure saturation of key categories; HELPS BUILD RAPPORT  
🗑
