Computer programs have some timebeen boomed to quantitative

research, allowing researchers tocalculate quite rapidly very complexstatistics. Programs to assist

qualitative researchers in theiranalysis, however, now also exist.Many simple word processing

programs can be used for some kindsof data analysis.

The find command, for example,can locate various passages in a

document that contain key words

or phrases. Thus, a researcher

might ask the computer to searchfor all passages that contain keywords creative or

nonconformist or punishment orartistic creativity.

The notable examples of qualitativecomputer programs that are currently

available include atlas .ti, QSRNUD*IST, Nvivo and Hyperresearch.These programs will identify words,

phrases, or sentences, tabulate theiroccurrence, print and graph the

tabulations and sort and regroup

words, phrases or sentencesaccording to how they fit a particular

set of categories.

ADVANTAGES OF CONTENT ANALYSIS

1. Unobtrusive. A researcher can observewithout being observed, since the contentbeing analyzed are not influence by theresearchers

presence. Information might bedifficult, or even impossible to obtainthrough direct observation or other meansbut it can be gained unobtrusively through

analysis of textbooks and othercommunications, without the author orpublisher being aware that is beingexamined.

2. As we illustrated, it is extremelyuseful as a means of analyzinginterview and observational data.

3. The researcher can delve intorecords and documents to get some

feel for the social life of an earliertime. He or she is not limited by timeand space to the study of present

events.

4. A fourth advantage accrues from the factthat the logistics of content analysis areoften relatively simple or economical-with

regard to both time and resources-ascompared to other research methods. Thisparticularly true if the information is readily

accessible, as in newspapers, reports,books, periodicals, and the like.

5. Lastly, and because the data are readilyavailable and almost always ca bereturned to if necessary or desired,

content analysis permits replication of astudy by other researchers. Even livetelevision programs can be videotaped for

repeated analysis at later times.

DISADVANTAGES OD CONTENTANALYSIS

1. Limited to recorded information.

2. Establishing validity. Assuming thatdifferent analysts can achieveacceptable agreement in

categorizing, the question remainsas to the true meaning of the

categories themselves.
