Content analysis is applied when:

  • a high degree of accuracy is required when comparing single-order data;
  • there is so much text material that it cannot be covered without total estimates;
  • there is enough documentary data for mass processing and they represent the field of study;
  • the qualitative characteristics under study appear with sufficient frequency;
  • quantified texts are compared with other qualitative characteristics as well (quantification is a procedure by which a measured object is compared with a certain standard and gets a numerical expression at a certain scale or scale).

As a result of the research content analysis process, we obtain components that are of special interest to the researcher, which are extracted from the variety of available information and presented in a form that is convenient for perception and subsequent analysis.
