differences in research questions, frameworks, sampling, data collection, and data analysis.
51 research studies selected based on five pre-determined criteria from 40 peer-reviewed journals published in Turkey and 14 international journals were content analyzed in terms of design, sample, sampling, data collection instruments, validity and reliability assurance, and data analysis strategies.
We outline its critical steps, including the procedures for sampling, data collection and data analysis of both textual and visual data.
An audit trail of decisions made regarding methods, sampling, data collection and analysis procedures was also maintained to support confirmability of the findings.
Due to these differences, we undertook sampling, data collection and data analysis separately for all three sites to achieve greater external validity.
The top ten frequency and importance rated items are provided in Table 2.>> Participant categorizations were compared to the categories established for the experience sampling data collection.
The method of grounded theory 10 will be adopted because of its iterative approach to the testing of hypotheses emerging from the data, underpinned by theoretical literature addressing the recursive process of reviewing existing literature, sampling, data collection and analysis.
We used sampling, data collection and analysis strategies that were best suited to the particular circumstances and aims of our project, and enabled us to conduct our study with internal coherence [ 55– 58].
Generally, the purpose of combining qualitative research and quantitative research can be: 1) triangulation, that is to validate different sources of data; 2) complementary, that is to clarify, explain or more fully elaborate results; 3) development, that is to guide further sampling, data collection and analysis [ 39].
Straw polls and other nonscientific surveys are based on indiscriminate collections of people's opinions, while responsible surveys are based on scientific methods of sampling, data collection, and analysis.
The third author was in charge of sampling, data collection, and the respective write up.
