Qualitative Inhaltsanalyse

The book presents "Qualitative Content Analysis", one of the most frequently used qualitatively oriented evaluation methods - as a theory- and rule-based analysis of linguistic material. Based on the three basic forms of summarising, explicating and structuring, individual techniques are described through process models and interpretation rules and illustrated by example. Qualitative content analysis is indispensable for students of education, psychology and sociology, but is also becoming increasingly important in communication, literature and cultural studies.

The book has been completely revised, supplemented and updated for the 13th edition. It also introduces QCAmap, the first open-access software for qualitative content analysis, in which one can create projects and upload documents.
