- ATrue
- BFalse
15Thematic analysis: Codes represent ideas and ___?___ from an existing theory or explanation. For example, the clinical characteristics of schizophrenia may be used as ___?___ to code self-descriptions from patients diagnosed with schizophrenia.

- ATrue
- BFalse
19Reflexivity:
- AThe recognition that a researchers attitudes, biases etc have an unavoidable influence on the research they are conducting. The impact of this cannot be avoided, but it can be c=monitored, and reported.
- BThis can be checked in qualitative research by looking at inter-rater reliability when more than one person has coded the data.
- CThis may be demonstrated using triangulation, comparing the findings gained from several different research methods, such as observations and interviews, and seeing if they all agree.
- DThe qualitative approach denies the existence of any one 'real' world, and instead sees each individual's subjective perspective as what is real and 'the truth'.
