"5" = "Single parent w/kids", "6" = "Family w/servant", "7" = "Family/friends", Mutate (group = recode (factor(group), "0" = "Single", "1" = "Single w/servant", Have students do some exploratory quantitative data analysis in SPSS or R with the variables that they have found in the previous step: class, gender, age, and survived/perished…įor example, you can copy/paste the syntax below (Textboxes have numbers related to our article): We encourage students to be as precise as possible for everyĪssumed mechanism. “class”, ask: how did that work exactly? They may say: people inįirst-class accommodation had more money than people in the lower-classĬabins, and they may have bribed the crew to allow them onto the “causal mechanism” of how exactly this explanatory variable might have Variable mentioned, ask students to specify the “causal story” or
Students come up with variables like class, gender, physical strength, social ties, location of the cabins, etc.Ī sketch on the blackboard of these variables. Preliminary theorizing: have students find explanatory variables that may lead to higher or lower probability of surviving on the Titanic. This step is important because we want to show students that mixed methods are not interesting in themselves, but only have legitimacy if they are able to give a more valid answer to a research problem than a mono-method approach.Ĭ. State the research question: What were the causes / mechanisms that led individuals on the Titanic to survive or perish? Line width reflects frequencies – If you select this option, the connecting lines to codes with many coded segments are drawn thicker than with codes with fewer coded segments.B. If the code has more than the selected maximum number of codes, you can give preference to codes according to Priority by weight (codes with larger weight scores are given preference) or according to Priority by segment size (codes with larger areas are given preferences). Only for activated documents – You can also limit the coded segments by choosing to display only those that are found in the documents activated in the “Document System.” You can also set the maximum number of coded segments to be displayed per code. Coded segment optionsĭisplay coded segments – If this box is checked, coded segments will be displayed for each of the codes. Integrate subcode level (all, 1, 2, 3) – specify whether only the direct subcodes of the selected code (level 1) or codes of other levels should be displayed. You can also set the maximum number of subcodes you would like displayed.
Display activated only – Displayed subcodes can be limited to those activated in the “Code System” window.
