Qualitative Data Analysis

KH Coder

Computer Coding is a relatively new automated approach to code and analyze qualitative data which will be obtained through sociological study. In this approach, qualitative data such as newspaper articles, open-ended questions in social surveys, transcripts of interviews or conversations will be analyzed quantitatively and, in most case, exploratory. The purpose of this paper is to introduce the approach and the essential software "KH Coder" which is originally developed free software by describing exactly how the analysis in this approach will be done using it. The description in this paper is a tutorial which anyone will be able to do the same thing on his/her computer. And the material used is the masterpiece written by Natsume Soseki "Kokoro". In the tutorial, frequently appearing words in the whole piece and distinctive words which are used especially frequently in each part will be inquired to explore the contexture of the piece. Then , where and how words, which describe men's death and cause of the death, appear in the whole piece will be inquired and described in the graphic form to explore how human's death is depicted or treated in the piece. As a result, the author argue that it can be fairly certain that the criticism about suddenness and/or unreasonableness of the suicide commited by the dramatispersonae called "Sensei" is unreasonable.
