Sociological constructs refer to the categories revealed during coding of the text that go beyond the conscious perspective of the speaker to pull in a broader understanding of the social scientific knowledge base, such as social institutions, power dynamics, and cultural norms. Ideological stances refer to the underlying beliefs and values held by the speaker, in contrast to sociological constructs which focus on broader social structures.
