Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Qualitative researchers typically analyze data inductively, meaning they draw conclusions and patterns from the data itself rather than using a pre-determined framework or hypothesis.

Similarly, while some researchers may have a set process for analyzing data, this would not be considered a typical approach in qualitative research.
