Computer Aided Phenomenography: The Role of Leximancer Computer Software in Phenomenographic Investigation

Abstract: The qualitative research methodology of phenomenography has traditionally required a manual sorting and analysis of interview data. In this paper I explore a potential means of streamlining this procedure by considering a computer aided process not previously reported upon. Two methods of lexicological analysis, manual and automatic, were examined from a phenomenographical perspective and compared. It was found that the computer aided process - Leximancer - was a valid investigative tool for use in phenomenogr… Show more

“…Leximancer also enables sentiment analysis, pathway analysis (identification of concepts which indirectly link related concepts) and direct (query) keyword search. It has been demonstrated to be a valid and reliable yet efficacious qualitative research tool for use in phenomenography (Penn-Edwards, 2010). In tourism, Leximancer has been effectively used for analyses of shopping experiences (Wu et al , 2014) and destination image (Tkaczynski et al , 2015).…”

“…Data was de-identified and uploaded into the content analysis software Leximancer (2005). The Leximancer software analyses and extracts meaning from text to identify 'concepts' based on clusters of related terms within the text, providing opportunity to investigate the interconnectedness and co-occurrence of themes in qualitative data (Penn-Edwards, 2010). Output is in the form of a conceptual map illustrating the main concepts located in the data and their relationships.…”
