Question Answered step-by-step RESEARCH EXAMPLES WITH CRITICAL THINKING EXERCISES Box… RESEARCH EXAMPLES WITH CRITICAL THINKING EXERCISESBox 15.1   Guidelines for Critically Appraising Qualitative Analyses1.  Was the data analysis approach appropriate for the research design or tradition?2.  Was the coding scheme described? If so, does the scheme appear logical and complete?3.  Did the report adequately describe the process by which the actual analysis was performed? Did the report indicate whose approach to data analysis was used (e.g., that of Glaser, Corbin and Strauss, or Charmaz in grounded theory studies)?4.  What major themes or processes emerged? Were relevant excerpts from the data provided, and do the themes or categories appear to capture the meaning of the narratives? Is the analysis parsimonious—could two or more themes be collapsed into a broader and perhaps more useful conceptualization?5.  Was a conceptual map, model, or diagram effectively displayed to communicate important processes?6.  Was the context of the phenomenon adequately described? Did the report give you a clear picture of the social or emotional world of study participants?7.  Did the analysis yield a meaningful and insightful picture of the phenomenon under study? Is the resulting theory or description trivial or obvious?  Furlong, E. P. (2017). Protecting: A grounded theory study of younger children’s experiences of coping with maternal cancer.
