SOCIAL TERM: Αξονική κωδικοποίηση / Axial coding

APPROVED DEFINITIONS FOR TERM: 2

RELATED TERMS: Κωδικοποίηση/Coding Κωδικοί/Codes

TERM TYPE: Methodological

DEFINITION (1): Axial coding is the second phase of the constant comparative analysis technique for analyzing qualitative data inductively for purposes of theory development. Compared to the more descriptive open coding that constitutes the first phase of constant comparative analysis, axial coding involves a greater degree of theoretical inference and analytic induction. Axial coding requires researchers to continually modify and reshape their emerging conceptual framework as more data are examined. It results in a coding framework from which to synthesize and organize data into more coherent, hierarchically structured categories and subcategories (Scott and Medaugh, 2017)

DEFINITION TYPE: Nominal

DEFINITION WRITER: Mastropetrou Margarita

REFERENCE: Scott, C. and Medaugh, M. (2017). Axial Coding. Wiley online library.

DEFINITION (2): Axial coding is defined as a set of process, during which data is assembled in new ways, after open coding, making connections between categories. This is done by using a coding example that includes conditions, content, action/ interactive strategies and consequences (Strauss and Corbin, 1990).

SOCIAL TERM: Πελατειακές σχέσεις / Clientelism

APPROVED DEFINITIONS FOR TERM: 1

TERM TYPE: Theoretical

SOCIAL TERM: Καταναγκασμός / Coercion

APPROVED DEFINITIONS FOR TERM: 1

TERM TYPE: Theoretical

DEFINITION (1): «This involves the use of pressure amounting to a threat of credible force. Coercion is not the same as force, since it is a threat to use force. On the other hand, this threat has to be credible or coercion cannot be said to exist. The term is sometimes employed to describe social pressures that compel people to work for others or to conform to a moral climate of public opinion. Marx speaks of the market as coercive even for those who own property, and J. S. Mill speaks of the moral coercion of public opinion. Here is a broad view of coercion that relates to circumstances in which no credible force is threatened. It is better to refer to these kinds of pressures as constraints, and to use the term coercion to refer to the threat of credible force. Coercion cannot exist without force, even though it is not synonymous with it» (Hoffman, 2007,p.27).
