Overview of coding technique
| Analytical stage | Coding technique applied | Purpose of the stage | Output |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stage 1 | Open coding | Identification of key phrases, expressions, and meanings emerging directly from interview data | First-order concepts grounded in participants' accounts |
| Stage 2 | Axial coding | Clustering and relating first-order concepts into broader conceptual categories | Second-order themes reflecting patterned relationships |
| Stage 3 | Aggregate dimensionalization | Abstraction of higher-order dimensions through iterative comparison and reflexive interpretation | Aggregate dimensions suitable for model development |
| Cross-stage procedure | Iterative and non-linear refinement | Identification of reciprocal relationships rather than linear causal links | Coherent and internally consistent dimensional structure |
