Description
What matters in people’s social lives? What motivates and inspires our society? How do we enact what we know?
Since the first edition published in 1980, Content Analysis has helped shape and define the field. In the highly anticipated Fourth Edition, award-winning scholar and author Klaus Krippendorff introduces readers to the most current method of analyzing the textual fabric of contemporary society. Students and scholars will learn to treat data not as physical events but as communications that are created and disseminated to be seen, read, interpreted, enacted, and reflected upon according to the meanings they have for their recipients. Interpreting communications as texts in the contexts of their social uses distinguishes content analysis from other empirical methods of inquiry.
Organized into three parts, Content Analysis first examines the conceptual aspects of content analysis, then discusses components such as unitizing and sampling, and concludes by showing readers how to trace the analytical paths and apply evaluative techniques. The Fourth Edition has been completely revised to offer readers the most current techniques and research on content analysis, including new information on reliability and social media. Readers will also gain practical advice and experience for teaching academic and commercial researchers how to conduct content analysis.
NEW TO THIS EDITION:
-
An updated formula for computing the reliability of unitizations helps researchers standardize the units of text on which coders work and reduce coding errors.
-
A new section on crowdsourcing shows readers how to measure the accuracy, surrogacy, and reliability of crowds.
-
New discussions around social media show readers how computer-aided text has impacted the ways society examines itself.
-
Several dimensions of Krippendorff’s Alpha have been expanded for assessing the reliability of crowdcoding, multi-valued coding of predefined units, and unitized textual continua.
