what is (c) frequency?
a type of code that is taken directly from what the participant says and is placed in quotation marks. (a) a Direct code, (b) an In Vivo code, (c) an Exact code, or (d) a "Codable Moment."
what is (b) an In Vivo code?
a word or short phrase that symbolically assigns meaning to a segment of data, describing it explicitly. (a) a category, (b) a classification, (c) a heading, or (d) a grouped idea.
what is a category?
dealing with this challenge requires coders to practice patience in coming to answers over time. (a) pattern hunting, (b) ambiguity, (c) coding cycles, or (d) discrepancies.
what is (b) ambiguity?
a pattern characterized by things happening in a certain order. (a) linear, (b) sequence, (c) progression, or (d) arrangement.
what is (b) sequence?
one Computer Assisted Qualitative Data Analysis Software (CAQDAS) program that can help to organize, sort, and analyze data into a codebooks or code list. (a) NVivo, (b) Google Forms, (c) Q Research Software, or (d) LimeSurvey.
what is (a) NVivo?
the closest theme that brings together the codes of: security, petty burglaries, faulty alarms, complacency, unnecessary risks, underestimated threats, and "it can't happen here." (a) the nature of risk, (b) collective responsibility, (c) liberty vs. safety, or (d) a false sense of security.
what is (d) a false sense of security?

what is (c) lumping data?
a possible theme for: [a group of boys and girls pushing, fighting, scratching, name-calling, threatening, laughing-at, putting down, teasing, trash-talking], which is then categorized into [oppression through physical force] and [oppression through hurting others' feelings].

what are (b) ethics and an extensive vocabulary?
a pattern characterized by one thing that appears to cause another. (a) correlation, (b) relationally, (c) causation, or (d) determinant.
what is (c) causation?
a method of coding that can generate a nuanced analysis from the beginning but requires a large amount of time and mental energy. (a) lumping data, (b) interpreting data, (c) digesting data, or (d) splitting data.
what is (d) splitting data?
