coding standards, suggestions for categorizing ethical frameworks in open-ended questionnaires?
Dear AoIRists, One of our MA students is attempting to (qualitatively) analyze responses to grief and mourning experiences on a major social media platform, especially as expressed or indexed in responses to open-ended questions (as part of a larger questionnaire). The student is attempting to discern what ethical frameworks, if any, come into play as suggested / evinced in the responses - e.g., more utilitarian, more care ethics, more virtue ethics, and so on. I think we can figure out a good way to look for and record responses along these lines - but of course, it's nicer if we don't have to reinvent a wheel or two that someone else has already developed and refined, etc. Any tips, tricks and suggestions along these lines would be very gratefully received. Many thanks in advance, - charles ess -- Professor in Media Studies Department of Media and Communication University of Oslo <http://www.hf.uio.no/imk/english/people/aca/charlees/index.html> Editor, The Journal of Media Innovations <https://www.journals.uio.no/index.php/TJMI/> Postboks 1093 Blindern 0317 Oslo, Norway c.m.ess@media.uio.no
Michael Sandel's Harvard Edx course on ethics and moral philosophy is a great introduction and overview of many schools of thought. Sandel is careful to avoid drawing firm conclusions while superbly eliciting his students views and opinions on the course topics. Registration is free and it's worth banging through the lectures ... https://courses.edx.org/courses/course-v1:HarvardX+ER22.1x+2T2017/course/ Hope this helps, Thomas Ball On Tue, Oct 24, 2017 at 6:30 AM, Charles M.
