Margrit Schreier shows how to: create a coding frame, segment the material, try out the coding frame, evaluate the trial coding and then carry out the main coding, and finally, consider what comes next. She also discusses software choices for doing qualitative content analysis. Each part of the process is described in detail and research examples are provided to illustrate each step. Frequently asked questions are answered, the most important points are summarized, and end of chapter questions provide an opportunity to check for understanding.

A Comparison with Other Qualitative Methods / The Coding Frame / Building a Coding Frame / Strategies for Building a Data-Driven Coding Frame / Segmentation and Units of Coding / Trying It out: The Pilot Phase / What to Keep in Mind: Evaluating Your Coding Frame / The Main Analysis Phase / How to Present Your Results / Using Software in Doing QCA PAPERBACK ISBN: 978-1-8492-0593-1 • ©2013 • 280 PAGES CONTENT ANALYSIS: An Introduction to Its Methodology THIRD EDITION Klaus Krippendorff, The Annenberg School for Communication, University of Pennsylvania Since the publication of the first edition of Content Analysis: An Introduction to Its Methodology, the textual fabric in which contemporary society functions has undergone a radical transformation: specifically, the ongoing information revolution. Today, content analysis has become an efficient alternative to public opinion research—a method of tracking markets, political leanings, and emerging ideas, a way to settle legal disputes, and an approach to explore individual human minds. The Third Edition continues to be an ideal sourcebook of the history and core principles of content analysis as well as an essential resource for present and future studies. Organized into three parts, the book examines the conceptual and methodological aspects of content analysis and also traces several paths through content analysis protocols. Krippendorf integrates information on computer-aided text analysis to present a highly practical guide. CONTENTS PART I. CONCEPTUALIZING CONTENT ANALYSIS / 1. History / 2. Conceptual Foundation / 3. Uses and Interfaces / PART II. COMPONENTS OF CONTENT ANALYSIS / 4. The Logic of Content Analysis Design / 5. Unitizing / 7. Recording/Coding / 8. Data Languages / 9. Analytical Constructs / PART III.
