Dear Members,
When performing a content analysis one breaks down the respondents
statements into their smallest meaningful units. This results in there
being more statements than respondents. When calculating the frequecy of
these units - is it more corect to use the number of respondents or the
number of responses as the base? Which is industry standard and why?
Regards,
Grant Robertson
