QUANTITATIVE STUDY INFORMATION

To assist you with preparing the Week 7 assignment, I am providing a few additional resources.  Attached is a slide deck I created on coding textual data, and below are links to a video on coding and an article on identifying themes in qualitative data.  Also, some learners find the Week 8 lecture helpful to this assignment, so I have attached it here as well.

As you prepare this assignment, closely follow the directions in the PSY 850 Assignments Document.  Because it asks you to inductively code the data, I will expect to see that each of you have developed your own codes and themes.  That means do not use the codes and themes from the Clark and Springer (2007) article.  However, you should compare and contrast your findings with theirs in the recommendations section.

Submit one paper in APA format with the required subsections delineated in the Assignments Guide: Introduction, Sample, Instruments, Data Analysis, Results, and Recommendations.  Include a references list.  You must complete all three tables in the Tables for Assignment 7 document and include those tables as an Appendix in your document.  Do not submit them as a separate document nor embed them within the text of the paper.

Please use this space to ask additional questions about the assignment.

Thanks and happy coding,

Paula
