How Qualitative Data Analysis Happens

<p><strong>Winner of the 2020 <i>Anselm Strauss Award for Qualitative Family Research</i>, National Council on Family Relations.</strong></p><p>How is qualitative data actually collected, analyzed, and accomplished? Real stories of<i> How Qualitative Data Analysis Occurs: Moving Beyond "Themes Emerged" </i>offers an in-depth look into how qualitative social science researchers studying family issues and dynamics approach their data analyses. It moves beyond the usual vague statement of "themes emerged from the data" to show readers how researchers actively and consciously arrive at their themes and conclusions, revealing the complexity and time involved in making sense of thousands of pages of interview data, multiple data sources, and diverse types of data.</p><p>How Qualitative Data Analysis Occurs focuses on a diversity of topics in family research across the life course. The various authors provide detailed narratives into how they analyzed their data from previous publications, and what methodologies they used, ranging from arts-based research, autoethnography, community-based participatory research, ethnography, grounded theory, to narrative analysis. </p><p>Supplemental figures, images, and screenshots which are referred to in the chapters, are included in an accompanying eResource, as well as links to the previously published work on which the chapters are based. This book is an invaluable resource for experienced and novice qualitative researchers throughout the social sciences.</p> <p>List of Tables</p><p>List of Figures</p><p>Acknowledgements</p><p>Editors</p><p>Contributors</p><p>Introduction: Real Stories of How This Volume Happened</p><p>M.
