Researchers usually adopt a qualitative methodology to suit their research question. They analyze data like interviews, surveys, field notes, web pages, audio visual material and journal articles. BUT, when I choose three separate attribute values, I get a total of 60.Qualitative researchers are interested in evaluating, interpreting and explaining social phenomena. When I assign all the attribute values as the same, I get the correct total (57). I have chosen to see the cells by Cell Content>Nodes Coded> (the classification sheet that I am using for all of this). Each node is given an attribute value of "mid," "central," or "peripheral" for the attribute "DMS."Įach of the 57 is also assigned the value of "total" for the "totals" attribute (that's the column heading that you can't see).Īny ideas why this adds up to 60 when matrix coding on the attribute DMS for the three values (10+20+30), instead of adding up to 57? In the attached, I only have 57 nodes assigned to the classification. I also have an attribute called "DMS," which consists of three distinct values: mid, central, and peripheral. I've created an attribute called "total" and assigned all the attribute values as "total." I am now trying to run a query that includes a column for the totals of each attribute value that I've specified in my search. I've run into another little issue with "totals." I am running a matrix coding query. Row percentage: The number of words coded by this cell, as a percentage of the total number of words coded by the row node.Ĭolumn percentage: The number of words coded by this cell, as a percentage of the total number of words coded by the column node. For example, if the column node only has one reference representing a single paragraph, but the cell codes six separate passages within this one paragraph, this is counted as six references.) (Double-click on the cell to open it to understand how these references are counted. Noded coded - no classifications: Counts how many nodes are coded by this cell.Ĭoding references: Counts how many references are coded by this cell. (Does not count nodes that are not assigned to a Classification.) Nodes coded - all classifications: Counts how many nodes are coded by this cell. Nodes coded - all classifications/no classifications
