Re: Qualitative Data Analysis Program

I'm not sure why they are using the term "qualitative data" as they are. 
Quantitative data is that which has an infinite number of possible responses, 
i.e. points on a number line. Qualitative data is that which has a limited 
number of responses such as yes-no responses or points on an ordinal scale i.e. 
rate from 1-10. SAS and SPSS analyze both quantitative and qualitative data. 
All of my students, both graduate and undergraduate use either SAS or SPSS for 
all statistics and experimental psychology classes I teach. At this point, it 
is unclear as to the type of analysis you wish to do.

Good luck,
Karen

  My understanding is that SAS is a Quantitative software package.  I am 
looking for qualitative data analysis accessibility.  I pulled the following 
from a Web site:

   

  You've probably heard of software packages such as SPSS, SAS and MiniTab that 
are used for analyzing quantitative data. But, what do we do when our data 
consists of hundreds of pages of text and images? Researchers can choose to use 
qualitative data analysis software such as NVivo, Atlas.ti, HyperResearch and 
MAXqda. 

   

  Anyone have any experience with NVivo, Atlas.ti, HyperResearch, or MAXqda 
with JAWS?

  Kevin,

  I've not used the program you are asking about but I can tell you that SAS 
works fine with Jaws. I went all the way through the Ph.D. program at the 
University of Oklahoma using it with no problems. It will do absolutely 
anything and SAS provided me with all the documentation -- volumes and volumes 
-- in accessible format.

   

  HOpe this helps a bit,

  Karen

    I am working with a student who is using Jaws and she wants to use a 
Qualitative Data Analysis Program such as Atlas.ti.  Does anyone know whether 
Atlas.ti or a similar program works with JAWS?

    Thank you in advance,

    Kevin
