Stratification Of Happiness In Urban Areas In Mexico: A Qualitative Examination By Level Of Marginalization, Oscar A. Martínez-Martínez Professor, Javier Reyes, Eder Noda
The Qualitative Report
Although Mexico presents high levels of poverty and marginalization, it is the second happiest nation in Latin America. This raises several questions about what factors are associated with happiness at each level of marginalization and how these factors vary according to marginalization levels.

Conducting Thematic Analysis With Qualitative Data, Chad R. Lochmiller
Conducting Thematic Analysis With Qualitative Data, Chad R. Lochmiller
The Qualitative Report
This article discusses one approach to conducting thematic analysis using structured qualitative data collected from focus groups.

In this article, I use data obtained from the Qualitative Data Repository to demonstrate how secondary qualitative data can be analyzed to produce themes. I note the ways in which this process unfolds as well as how it differs from other techniques.
