For this discussion:
Using the two articles you found in this unit’s studies, what is the unit of analysis in the study? What is used as the unit of observation? Briefly summarize the article and indicate whether the selected design was the most appropriate. If yes, why? If not, why not, and what design would they suggest?
2. Qualitative Data Analysis
Beginning researchers often assume that qualitative data analyses are very different than quantitative data analyses. However, qualitative data are often coded into themes, which can then be used in a quantitative type of data analysis. For example, the number of women with attention deficit disorder who report anxiety during an interview about their life experiences is a variable (absence or presence of the report of anxiety) that can be used in a statistical analysis. Use this information to complete this discussion.
Using the two articles you found in this unit’s studies, name the statistics used to answer one of the research questions. Include the persistent links for the articles.
- Are there similarities or differences between the two articles in the qualitative and quantitative data analysis techniques?
- Evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of each type of data analysis.
