Creating Document Variables From a Summary Table

From these already highly condensed summaries, you can automatically generate document variables. Take the following example: in preparation for a workshop, the participants were asked in an online survey whether they had any previous experience with the “qualitative content analysis” method. One of the responses states, “I analyzed guided interviews with the method of qualitative content analysis as part of my bachelor’s and master’s theses.” This person seems to have had quite a lot of experience working with this method. Now you want to evaluate the answers on the scale “QCA Experience” with the possible results of “yes,” “some,” and “none.” In this case, the experience gained during the participant’s BA and MA studies results in the assessment “yes,” which is entered as a summary for the person. The survey asks a similar question about previous experience with MAXQDA. Rather conveniently, the same options can also be chosen here, namely, “yes,” “some,” and “none.”

All the documents are processed in this way and the appropriate value is entered in the respective summary column. The resulting Summary Table can be seen in Fig. 11.7. The first column of the table contains the names of the documents—variables were not selected here. The second column contains the assigned values for the question about each participant’s previous experience with qualitative content analysis, and the third column contains the assigned values for the question about their previous experience with MAXQDA.
