What is Content Analysis?It is use to systematically summarize written, spoken, or visual communication in a quantitative way.
It is a research tool used to determine the presence of certain words or concepts within texts or sets of texts.

TextBooks, Book Chapters, essays, Interviews, Discussions, Newspaper Headlines or Articles, Historical Documents, Speeches…
Any occurrence of communicative language.

History of Content Analysis

•1931-Content Analysis began when Alfred R. Lindesmith created a methodology that was
designed to refute existing hypothesis.
•1940’s- it is already often utilized method in research.

•1950’s-researchers were already starting to consider the need for more sophisticated
methods of analysis.
•1960’s- Content Analysis is frequently referred to as “Grounded Theory”

Nowadays, content analysis is also utilized to explore mental models, and their linguistic, affective, cognitive, social, cultural and historical significance..

Some Applications of Content analysis
marketing and media studiesliterature and rhetoricethnography and cultural studies gender and age issues sociology and political science psychology and cognitive
science

StrengthContent analysis is a readily-
understood, inexpensive research method. It is unobtrusive, and it doesn't require contact with people
![Page 10: Content analysis](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062319/557d2f6cd8b42a80608b50b6/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
LimitationsContent analysis is a purely
descriptive method. It describes what is there, but may not reveal the underlying motives for the observed pattern
![Page 11: Content analysis](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062319/557d2f6cd8b42a80608b50b6/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Advantageslooks directly at communication via
texts or transcripts, and hence gets at the central aspect of social interaction.
can allow for both quantitative and qualitative operations
can provides valuable historical/cultural insights over time through analysis of texts

•allows a closeness to text which can alternate between specific categories and relationships and also statistically analyzes the coded form of the text
•can be used to interpret texts for purposes such as the development of expert
•is an unobtrusive means of analyzing interactions

DisadvantagesIt is very time consuming and is
subject to error
It is dependent on interpretation of the text
There is also no theoretical base in order to create meaningful inferences and relationships between the text.
This methodology can be extremely difficult to automate or computerize.

Types of Content Analysis
Conceptual Analysis Relational Analysis
![Page 15: Content analysis](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062319/557d2f6cd8b42a80608b50b6/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Conceptual Analysis
can be thought of as establishing the existence and frequency of concepts most often represented by words of phrases in a text.
![Page 16: Content analysis](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062319/557d2f6cd8b42a80608b50b6/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Steps for Conducting Conceptual Analysis
Decide the level of analysis. Decide how many concepts to code
for. Decide whether to code for existence
or frequency of a concept. Decide on how you will distinguish
among concepts. Develop rules for coding your texts.
![Page 17: Content analysis](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062319/557d2f6cd8b42a80608b50b6/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Decide what to do with
"irrelevant" information. Code the texts. Analyze your results.

Relational Analysis
seeks to go beyond presence by exploring the relationships between the concepts identified.
![Page 19: Content analysis](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062319/557d2f6cd8b42a80608b50b6/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Theoretical Influences on Relational Analysis
Linguistic approaches- focus analysis of texts on the level of a linguistic unit, typically single clause units.
Cognitive science- include the creation of decision maps and mental models
Mental models-groups or networks of interrelated concepts that are thought to reflect conscious or subconscious perceptions of reality.

Three Subcategories of Relational Analysis
Affect extraction: This approach provides an emotional evaluation of concepts explicit in a text.
![Page 21: Content analysis](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062319/557d2f6cd8b42a80608b50b6/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Proximity analysis: This approach, on the other hand, is concerned with the co-occurrence of explicit concepts in the text.
Cognitive mapping: This approach is one that allows for further analysis of the results from the two previous approaches.

Steps for Conducting Relational Analysis
Identify the Question.Choose a sample or samples for
analysisDetermine the type of analysis.Reduce the text to categories
and code for words or patterns. e the type of analysis

Explore the relationships between concepts ◦Strength of Relationship◦Sign of a Relationship◦Direction of the Relationship

ReliabilityThe reliability of a content
analysis study refers to its stability, or the tendency for coders to consistently re-code the same data in the same way over a period of time; reproducibility.
![Page 25: Content analysis](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062319/557d2f6cd8b42a80608b50b6/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
ValidityThe validity of a content analysis
study refers to the correspondence of the categories to the conclusions, and the generalizability of results to a theory.

ProblemsThe overarching problem of
content Analysis research is the challenge-able nature of conclusions reached by its inferential procedures.
