inductive analysis

归纳分析。自下而上的定性分析方法:编码、类目和主题从数据自身涌现,而非由既有理论预设。

English Definition

"A bottom-up qualitative analysis approach where codes, categories, and themes are derived from the data itself, rather than being predetermined by existing theory."

用法说明 · 针对中文母语者

与 deductive analysis(演绎分析)相对。HCI 论文中常用 thematic analysis + inductive 描述质性研究路径。

常见错误

  • ·与 inductive reasoning(归纳推理)混用——后者是更一般的逻辑学概念
  • ·误以为 inductive 就是'举例'——其实质是数据驱动的理论构建

真实用例 · 1

"Instead, our findings were derived from inductive analysis, while some theories were used to interpret or distinguish them."
