Answer the following questions about your research design for the content analysis assignment. You may answer at bullet points or as a single paragraph for all three, but in either case, make sure to give me a good sense of your research design and how it is grounded in the concepts we have discussed so far.
What is the topic you are interested in, what type of content are you intending to analyze, and how are the two connected? What if someone questioned the content you selected and recommended something ‘better’, how would you defend your choice?
Do you intend to employ a case or sampling logic? If you choose a case logic, why is the case you have selected a good one or studying the topic you have chosen to study? If you choose a sampling logic, which sampling strategy do you intend to employ and why is that strategy the most appropriate for your research question and topic?
What strategies could you use to up the “truth value” of your proposed study? Are there any strategies either in terms of sampling or data collection or in terms of analysis to improve this?
