Counselling and Psychotherapy Research, 21(1), 37-47. Can I use TA? Should I use TA? Should I not use TA? Comparing reflexive thematic analysis and other pattern‐based qualitative analytic approaches. We highlight numerous problems with these how many ‘experiments’ and argue that because they use coding reliability and codebook types of TA, they make assumptions about TA and qualitative research which means their claims about saturation do not translate to reflexive TA.īraun, V., & Clarke, V. We focus in particular on a number of papers that have sought to determine ‘how many’ interviews or focus groups are necessary to achieve saturation – variously conceptualised as data, code, theme and meaning saturation – in TA research. This paper explains why saturation – conceptualised as information redundancy – is not a useful or coherent concept for determining the size of datasets/participant groups, and when to stop data collection, in reflexive TA.Qualitative Research in Sport, Exercise & Health, 13(2), 201-216. To saturate or not to saturate? Questioning data saturation as a useful concept for thematic analysis and sample-size rationales. It provides guidance on designing a coherent TA study, and ends with a discussion of reporting standards for reflexive TA.īraun, V., & Clarke, V. This paper maps out the key conceptual differences between the various branches of the TA family tree, and outlines the conceptual underpinnings, assumptions and values of reflexive TA. A paper written to support researchers with the conceptual and design thinking that is necessary to undertake a coherent TA study.Conceptual and design thinking for thematic analysis.
