Abstract:

Compared to mainstream quantitative research in psychology, thematic analysis has unique perspectives and advantages. As a practical technique for analyzing qualitative data, thematic analysis holds a multifaceted philosophical foundation and methodological framework, with steps that include: familiarization with the data, initial coding, searching for themes, reviewing themes, conceptualization of themes, and development of a conceptual model. This method is powerful, effective, simple and flexible, but requires attention to specific norms of use. Currently, qualitative research in Chinese psychology is developing rapidly, but it also reveals problems such as insufficient methodological understanding and a large number of generic qualitative studies. Thematic analysis has shown great value in the regularization of qualitative research, the methodological revolution of psychology, and the localization of psychology, and has broad application prospects in many branches of Chinese psychology.
