This is an overview of the online lecture series INTERRETING TEXT AND IMAGES of the ATLAS.ti Academy, which is now also available to the Research Gate Community. See also: (https://atlasti.com/research-hub/interpreting-text-and-image-a-lecture-series

In this lecture series, we would like to take you on a journey to explore the interdisciplinary fundamentals of qualitative research. In the first lecture, I will begin by talking about the origins of ATLAS.ti which came out of an interdisciplinary research project under my direction at the Technical University of Berlin from 1988 to 1992. The se...

Having covered the theoretical principles for the interpretation of qualitative data in thefirst four lectures, we will now turn to working with qualitative data. In this lecture,I discuss general aspects of qualitative projects: project planning and the traditionalworkspace for hermeneutic textual analysis as a blueprint for software systems such...

Ladies and Gentlemen, Today‘s lecture is about the study of signs, or semiotics (from the Greek sema/semeion = sign).

Today, the question we want to ask is what theoretical fundamentals can we work from in social and cultural research which focuses on our subjective experiences and our life-world.Central to this question are findings from the cognitive sciences and from philosophical and sociological phenomenology.

Today, I would like to talk about what is, in my view, the most fully developed theory ofhuman communication: that of social theorist Jürgen Habermas. From this theory, wecan derive criteria for successful or unsuccessful communication and for the quality ofqualitative data. It is baffling that textbooks on qualitative data analysis make barely any...

Objective: to describe the most important tools of ATLAS.ti Software and to associate them with the procedures of Thematic Content Analysis.

In contemporary books on qualitative methods one finds pointers and references to computer-assisted analysis, but little about how to translate manual ways of going about analysis to a computer-assisted way. Here are some examples: Remenyi (2014) dedicates half a page to the topic; Breuer (2018) two pages; Bryant and Charmaz (2007) four pages sprea...

There are many different methods in qualitative research and also many ways to approach the analysis of qualitative data. Even though nowadays, the use of Computer-Aided Qualitative Data Analysis Software (CAQDAS) is widespread, usually in the books and papers that describe an approach, it is not explained how to implement the analysis using softwa...

Ich gehe in diesem Beitrag der Frage nach, wie anhand der heutigen technischen Möglichkeiten die Verfahren der klassischen Grounded Theory verändert bzw. weiterentwickelt werden können. Anhand eines Beispielprojekts zeige ich Schritt für Schritt, wie eine softwaregestützte Grounded Theory Analyse durchgeführt werden kann. Ich arbeite hierzu mit der...

In this paper, I show how the various steps of a Grounded Theory analysis can be conducted in a computer-assisted environment. As the Grounded Theory approach was developed before the event of CAQDAS (Computer-Aided Qualitative Data Analysis Software), the various steps and procedures have been described for manual ways of analysis. In newer books...

If you embark on the journey of analyzing qualitative data, you will encounter many challenges. Using a tool like ATLAS.ti makes it easier (like driving a car as supposed to walking), but also requires new and different skills. The NCT method of computer-assisted analysis was developed to guide you step-by-step through your journey and to succeed....

Anthropologists have a rich tradition of using a networked approach in data analysis. The purpose of this article is to continue that tradition by demonstrating how social network analysis can be used by anthropologists to improve their analysis and reporting of ethnographic data, and thereby expanding the methodological tool kit traditionally used...

Chronic pain represents a common public health concern worldwide. It is a complex phenomenon, owing to the interaction of different factors, including biological, physiological, psychological, environmental, and social variables. Some groups, such as women and immigrants, are particularly vulnerable. However, little is known about how Chinese women...

This article was published in the June 2015 edition of the ATLAS.ti newsletter. Based on a sample project, I describe how to conduct mixed-method research with ATLAS.ti

The aim of this paper is to provide an overview of the ‘state of the art of QDA or CAQDAS software. The author uses Kahneman’s ideas about slow and fast thinking as a framework. Slow thinking in the context of CAQDAS is related to researcher driven analysis and fast thinking to tool- and data driven analysis. The paper is divided into two parts. In...

Der Computer gehört für mich mit dazu Wenn ich die Geschichte meines akademischen und mehr spezifisch meines methodischen Werdegangs erzähle, dann ist Grounded Theory ein Teil davon. Sozialisiert wurde ich anfänglich an deutschen Universitäten und hörte im dritten Semester eine Vorlesung zu empirischen Forschungsmethoden und lernte Statistik. Erst...

The aim of this poster is to show the benefits of using a software like ATLAS.ti for qualitative data analysis. Even though this might seem obvious to some, it is not a commonly shared opinion. Often Ph.D. students who want to use software asked me (Susanne) whether I can provide them with some good arguments that they can present to their supervis...

When the decision was made to develop ATLAS.ti for Mac, those people writing the software (the “tech people”) needed to understand what users do with the software and what does it mean to do qualitative data analysis. When ATLAS.ti for Windows was developed, it was a research projects at the TU Berlin and lots of people with knowledge on empirical...

In this updated second edition, you will find clear, practical advice on preparing your data, setting up a new project in ATLAS.ti, developing a coding system, asking questions, finding answers and preparing your resul...

This article is part of a larger experiment where developers of CAQDAS (Computer Assisted Qualitative Data AnalysiS) packages, or those cooperating very close with them, analyzed data based on a common data set. The aim was to find out whether the use of software influences the ways we analyze data and if so how. My argument is that software has a...

As society transforms and is transformed by new technology, so there are new ways in which qualitative researchers collect and analyse data and new forms of data to collect. This paper sets in context the contributions in this issue of FQS by examining these developments. The spread of video and photographic technology means that images can be used...

Relating to clothes is a fundamental experience in the lives of most Western women. Even when choice is fraught with ambivalence, clothing matters. From considerations about dressing for success, to worries about weight, through to investing particular articles of clothing with meaning bordering on the sacred, what we wear speaks volumes about pers...

Current theories in economics, marketing, and psychology fail to explain underlying reasons for impulse buying and, crucially, why certain goods (e.g., clothes) are bought impulsively more than others (e.g., basic kitchen equipment). We propose and examine a social psychological model, which predicts that people impulse buy to acquire material symb...

We present a new model of impulse buying, based on a social constructionist theory, which addresses some of the short-comings of previous models from economics, consumer behaviour, and psychology. Our model predicts that products are impulsively bought to reflect self-identity. Thus gender, as a major social category, should influence both the prod...

This chapter on offers a brief overview of the history of computer-aided qualitative data analysis, describes the basic steps of the analysis process and provides an overview of the main aspects that need to be considered when using a computer to support the analysis of qualitative data. The latter part includes aspects such as searching, sorting a...
