How do you synthesize low-level codes into high-level themes?
Tests systematic thematic analysis. Strong answers cover tagging observations with codes, grouping related findings into themes that emerge across participants, and choosing methods like affinity diagramming based on context.
Tests whether you can move from raw qualitative data to rigorous themes without getting lost in detail. A strong answer outlines a systematic process: tagging individual observations and quotations with codes, then discovering themes as related findings appear repeatedly across participants or data sources. It names context-appropriate synthesis methods such as affinity diagramming, software, or journaling, selected based on data volume and constraints.
