Transcribe your interviews within MAXQDA and make use of the onboard transcription tools for focus group discussions that accelerate and ease the transcription process.
Find what you’re looking for
MAXQDA’s focus group tools are designed to show you the data you need, such as the Quote Matrix which creates a joint display of themes and quantitative variables. With MAXQDA’s Lexical Search you can search and automatically code interesting keywords, such as important concepts for your focus group data analysis research. Use the codes and documents created with the automatic speaker detection tool to analyze either on a group level or on an individual level.
Aggregate your data
Never lose track of the bigger picture with MAXQDA’s overview and summary tables. MAXQDA offers overview tables for almost everything, memos, coded segments, links, and so on. You can also use summary tables, with which compressed summaries of sources can be effectively compared and represented. They can easily be integrated into your literature review report.
Quantitative evaluation of themes
Quantitative aspects can also be relevant in a qualitative research. For example, sort sources according to document variables and compare amounts with frequency tables and charts. Don’t miss the word frequency functions of MAXDictio that make the quantitative analysis of terms and their semantic contexts even easier.
Visualize your focus group data
Whether for your analysis or publication, MAXQDA’s visual tools are tailor-made for qualitative research, and are also very effective for a literature review. Work with word clouds to explore the central themes of a text and key terms that are used or make use of the graphical representation possibilities of MAXMaps, which in particular permit the creation of concept maps.
