Summary:

This How-to Guide considers qualitative research methods for analyzing data. In broad terms, qualitative data are commonly understood as consisting of words rather than numbers. Qualitative data can provide rich and detailed insights into the values, beliefs, attitudes, emotions, and perspectives of participants. Specific analytic methods are employed to identify and draw out these traits. Among the most common are, for example, grounded theory and thematic analysis. This guide examines various methods that are available to examine qualitative data and the processes, opportunities, and challenges they involve. By engaging with this guide, students will gain valuable and interesting perspectives into a range of methods that have the potential to reveal rich insights into respondents' worlds and experiences. Gaining such insights through these methods can allow in-depth portrayals of research settings, and this is important in developing research contributions.
