Research Methods on CODING AND TRANSCRIPTION FOR INTREVIEWING QUESTIONS AND ANSWER ON - Coursework Example

Interview Transcription Affiliation This paper entails coding and transcription of interviews conducted previously. The interviews were conducted to investigate health issues like obesity and diabetes and their attribution to poverty. Ten different people were interviewed. The interview questions were:What policies on obesity do you perceive as having failed?Why do you think these policies failed?What should be the best strategy to be applied in handling the obesity problem? What policies can you consider to be a disgrace in the fight against poverty, obesity and diabetes 2?

What can you cite as the major cause of failure of these policies? Do the nutrition policies, zoning policies, labeling act help in reducing obesity? What health policies would you recommend the government to implement in order to guarantee a diabetes free environment?What should be done to encourage healthy eating habits?Do you think that if the government offered meal vouchers to Americans living in deprived neighborhoods will reduce the rates at which consumers purchase and consume foods with high calories?

There has been recent creation and establishment of recreation parks despite the looming land and space crisis. Do you think this will encourage more people to participate in recreation activities such as swimming, sports and games? Their responses portrayed both similarities and differences. The interview results were transcribed and coded accordingly to enhance data analysis (Ryder, 1966). This was done as follows: Theme Number Part. 1Part. 2Part. 3Part. 4Part. 5Part. 6Part. 7Part. 8Part. 9Part.

= Participant P = page number L = Line numberSimple coding explanationAll the 10 participants were interviewed based on the above questions. All the 27 themes presented in the table were presented by the participants but their arrangements appeared at different points in terms page numbers and lines with the pages. For instance, the theme of failed field policies, by the first participant, appeared in page 1 from line 1 to line 2. The same theme is presented in the first page but between line 3 and line 4 and in page 1 line 1 to line two for the 3rd participant (Ryder, 1966).

The same theme appears in page 4 line 12 for the 7th participant. The same applies to all other themes for all the participants. A blank square implies that the specific theme presented along that specific raw was not tackled by the respective respondent. For example, the theme of minute fiber was not addressed by the fourth respondent. ReferencesRyder, R. G. (1966). A Clerically Simple Procedure for Coding Interview Materials.
