计算代码使得定性内容分析成为分析文本数据的一种有争议的方法。几十年前，主流内容分析拒绝定性内容分析，理由是它不够定量；今天，它经常被指责不够定性。这篇文章认为，定性内容分析在其编码方法和对代码计数的解释方面都具有明显的定性。与其争论是否进行定性内容分析，研究人员必须做出明智的决定，决定何时使用它来分析定性数据。
Counting codes makes qualitative content analysis a controversial approach to analyzing textual data. Several decades ago, mainstream content analysis rejected qualitative content analysis on the grounds that it was not sufficiently quantitative; today, it is often charged with not being sufficiently qualitative. This article argues that qualitative content analysis is distinctively qualitative in both its approach to coding and its interpretations of counts from codes. Rather than argue over whether to do qualitative content analysis, researchers must make informed decisions about when to use it in analyzing qualitative data.
