Conceptual and Design Thinking for Thematic Analysis

Virginia Braun et al.

Summary: This study discusses the application of thematic analysis (TA) in psychology and the need for researchers to choose different methods within TA that may vary in conceptualization and design considerations. The lack of understanding and acknowledgment of this diversity often results in research lacking coherence. The authors provide guidance on conceptual and design thinking for TA, particularly for their own reflexive approach, to support researchers in conducting methodologically sound TA research.
