Description¶
A design principle for chat communication analysis methodology: coding procedures for small group chat should build in threading, i.e. "connections between analysis units", because the article found threading "proved essential to handle unit fragmentation, to reconstruct the response structure and for reliability of coding". Without threading, unit fragmentation and an unreconstructable response structure undermine both the analysis and the trustworthiness of reliability figures.
Accounts¶
- When coding small group chat communication, incorporate threading between analysis units to handle fragmentation and support reliability: A design principle for chat communication analysis methodology: coding procedures for small group chat should build in threading, i.e. "connections between analysis units", because the article found threading "proved essential to handle unit fragmentation, to reconstruct the response structure and for reliability of coding". Without threading, unit fragmentation and an unreconstructable response structure undermine both the analysis and the trustworthiness of reliability figures. (Jan Willem Strijbos (2007))
Claims¶
- Threading — connections between analysis units — proved essential for handling unit fragmentation, reconstructing the response structure, and reliability of coding in small group chat [+M]
- Conventional reliability determination risks overestimating coding reliability in small group chat analysis [~M]
