Preferred term

categorization  

Definition

  • Categorization is a major component of qualitative data analysis by which investigators attempt to group patterns observed in the data into meaningful units or categories. Through this process, categories are often created by chunking together groups of previously coded data. [Source: The SAGE Encyclopedia of Qualitative Research Methods; Categorization]
