Comparing qualitative thematic analysis and machine-based topic modelling in the analysis of autistic and ADHD young people’s accounts of emotions
Key Points
Qualitative thematic analysis reveals rich insights into emotional accounts of autistic and ADHD youth, highlighting their unique experiences.
Machine-based topic modelling can effectively categorize emotions, providing a different perspective on the same data.
The analysis includes accounts from diverse individuals, ensuring a broad representation of emotional narratives.
Combining both methods may enhance understanding of emotional experiences and improve support strategies for these groups.
