Hi
I am not using qualitative software for this yet as a manual trawl through transcripts is suffuicient at present but I am interested in any literature related to the subject. I am comparing theories for prevention in health promotion that arise in focus groups with parents and professionals. It is an offshoot of a wider study. Any ideas?
I have identified text where participants rationalise their actions with a justification that could be matched with a theoretical perspective.
Thanks
Lisa

Hi all,
Is there anyone trying to use qualitative software to compare theories?
I'm trying to compare the relations that a concept has for different authors
(or interviewed people), or in different theories; i.e I'd like to compare
(just to be able to display in the screen separately and immediately) an
scheme of the relations that a concept like "mind" maintains with other
concepts for someone I have interviewed, another for an author like
Chalmers, another for Functionalism, and so on...
But I don't want to create a new code for each one (like Chalmers-mind,
Functionalism-mind...), just to filter the relations when I want to focus on
one/some of them.
Any ideas?
Does anyone have experience doing something similar?
The main programs I'm using right now is NVivo 7 (demoing) and Atlas.ti 5.0,
but if there were a software able to manage this better, please, let me know
it...
Thanks in advance,
Costa
