Practice question · Select all that apply
Select every statement that is TRUE about qualitative data analysis.
Hints
- Two options are misconceptions - one denies rigor, one confuses a theme with a code.
- Qualitative work has systematic checks, and a theme is a BROAD pattern, not a single labeled segment.
Show the answer
- B. Qualitative analysis requires no attention to reliability.
- D. Theory built from the data upward, without a framework decided in advance, is the grounded-theory approach.
- E. Thematic analysis moves from familiarisation through coding to defining themes.
Why
Axial coding's linking role, grounded theory's inductive logic, and inter-rater reliability are all true. Qualitative analysis does have systematic procedures, and a theme is a broad pattern uniting many codes, not a single labeled segment.
