- The dataset centres on a qualitative content analysis – as put forward by Mayring (2014) – of media diaries. The data are provided by Lisa Waldenburger and Jeffrey Wimmer and were collected through a panel study that combines various qualitative methods to explore the topic of digital stress. The given example focuses on the inductive analysis of a media diary and the formulation of first, research-leading interpretations. These interpretations inform the questions to be asked in a follow-up interview, which allows re-evaluating or enriching them in a semi-collaborative fashion. The dataset thus provides an insight into sequential long-term qualitative research and shows social science students (1) how to evaluate qualitative material in a content-analytical way and (2) how to derive further interview questions from this original analysis. The dataset files are accompanied by a teaching guide and a student guide.
