Analytical stages in developing the data structure
| Phase | Description |
|---|---|
| 1. Designing Research | Identify a clear “how” research question; remain open to emerging concepts |
| 2. Data Collection | Use semi-structured interviews; treat informants as knowledgeable agents |
| 3. 1st-Order Analysis | Code using informant-centric terms; preserve participants’ voices and meanings |
| 4. 2nd-Order Analysis | Identify theoretical themes; introduce researcher-centric interpretation |
| 5. Aggregate Dimensions | Cluster 2nd-order themes into broader conceptual categories |
| 6. Data Structure | Visually map the relationship from raw data to concepts and dimensions |
