What is the primary goal of qualitative data analysis?

• To statistically analyze numerical data

• To uncover patterns, themes, and meanings from textual data

• To apply mathematical models to qualitative data

• To determine the relationship between independent and dependent variables

Which of the following best describes open coding in qualitative analysis?

• Grouping codes into broader categories

• Identifying core themes from the data

• Breaking down data into discrete parts and labeling them

• Using pre-determined codes to categorize data

In qualitative coding, what does “In Vivo coding” refer to?

• Using the researcher’s interpretation to code the data

• Using words directly from the participant’s language or response

• Grouping similar codes into categories

• Coding based on theoretical frameworks

Which type of coding involves connecting and organizing codes into categories that reflect relationships among them?

What is the main goal of thematic analysis in qualitative research?

• To quantify data and establish statistical significance

• To identify and analyze themes within qualitative data

In qualitative research, what does the term "data saturation" refer to?

• The point at which no new information is being discovered from data collection

• The process of collecting as much data as possible

• The use of multiple methods to validate findings
