Analysing Qualitative Data in Psychology

by Evanthia Lyons (Editor), Adrian Coyle (Editor)

Analyzing Qualitative Data in Psychology equips students and researchers in psychology and the social sciences to carry out qualitative data analysis, focusing on four major methods (grounded theory, interpretative phenomenological analysis, discourse analysis and narrative analysis). Assuming no prior knowledge of qualitative research, chapters on the nature, assumptions and practicalities of each method are written by acknowledged experts. To help students and researchers make informed methodological choices about their own research the book addresses data collection and the writing up of research using each method, while providing a sustained comparison of the four methods, backed up with authoritative analyses using the different methods.

This is a pretty good resource for understanding some of the major forms of qualitative analysis. There was repetitive with each “doing” chapter but I’m still glad to have this as a resource to pull from if students need specific guidance on a technique/strategy.
