This book presents a simplified approach for analyzing qualitative data using the thematic data analysis process advocated by Saldaña (2015). The book is specifically designed for PhD, DBA, and EdD students pursuing research in the qualitative methodology. The book includes the Data Analysis Procedures and the Results sections from my published dissertation, which first used the approach discussed in the book. Despite its theoretical orientation, the book provides practical examples of specific steps students can take using the MAXQDA software to organize, prepare, and analyze their data. The book is divided into 3 parts. Part 1 discusses ways to handle and manage your qualitative data. Part 2 discusses the four-step thematic analysis process for analyzing your qualitative data. Part 3 is a copy of the Data Analysis Procedures and the Results sections from my published dissertation, which put the book into context for doctoral students.

Qualitative interviews are a very popular data collection method for which the topics of conversation are usually determined in advance and set down in an interview guide. The focused analysis method presented in this textbook provides detailed recommendations on how to analyze interview data in a systematic and methodically controlled manner. The practical procedure for focused interview analyses using the MAXQDA software package is described in six easy-to-follow steps: 1. Prepare, organize, and explore data 2. Develop categories for your analysis 3. Code your interviews ("basic coding") 4. Develop your category system further and the second coding cycle ("fine coding") 5. Analysis options after coding 6. Write the research report and document the analysis process

How can you analyse narratives, interviews, field notes, or focus group data? Qualitative text analysis is ideal for these types of data and this textbook provides a hands-on introduction to the method and its theoretical underpinnings. It offers step-by-step instructions for implementing the three principal types of qualitative text analysis: thematic, evaluative, and type-building. Special attention is paid to how to present your results and use qualitative data analysis software packages, which are highly recommended for use in combination with qualitative text analysis since they allow for fast, reliable, and more accurate analysis. The book shows in detail how to use software, from transcribing the verbal data to presenting and visualizing the results. The book is intended for Master’s and Doctoral students across the social sciences and for all researchers concerned with the systematic analysis of texts of any kind.

This book is a significant step towards helping doctoral learners write better proposals and the final dissertation. The book walks the learner through all the sections of my dissertation and describes, paragraph-by-paragraph, how each section may be written succinctly and correctly. Although my original dissertation was a qualitative single case study, students can relate the step-by-step directions in the book to their own qualitative studies regardless of their specific research design. Although all learners pursuing qualitative studies would benefit from the book, those pursuing a case study design, or a descriptive design would benefit the most. If you are planning to use the thematic data analysis in your qualitative doctoral research, you will find this book most helpful. I also recommend that you get the 4-Step Thematic Data Analysis with MAXQDA textbook for the complete, step-by-step walk-through of how to analyze your qualitative data. In this book, Chapters 1 through 3 are aimed at those working on the Prospectus and on the Proposal whereas Chapters 4 and 5 are aimed at those working on the final Dissertation.

Winner of the 2020 Anselm Strauss Award for Qualitative Family Research, National Council on Family Relations. How is qualitative data actually collected, analyzed, and accomplished? Real stories of How Qualitative Data Analysis Occurs: Moving Beyond "Themes Emerged" offers an in-depth look into how qualitative social science researchers studying family issues and dynamics approach their data analyses. It moves beyond the usual vague statement of "themes emerged from the data" to show readers how researchers actively and consciously arrive at their themes and conclusions, revealing the complexity and time involved in making sense of thousands of pages of interview data, multiple data sources, and diverse types of data. How Qualitative Data Analysis Occurs focuses on a diversity of topics in family research across the life course. The various authors provide detailed narratives into how they analyzed their data from previous publications, and what methodologies they used, ranging from arts-based research, autoethnography, community-based participatory research, ethnography, grounded theory, to narrative analysis. Supplemental figures, images, and screenshots which are referred to in the chapters, are included in an accompanying eResource, as well as links to the previously published work on which the chapters are based. This book is an invaluable resource for experienced and novice qualitative researchers throughout the social sciences.
