Data analysis
The data were analysed in relation to the research questions
and proceeded simultaneously with data collection
All elements of data — transcnbed interviews, field notes
and memos — were read and re-read so that the researcher
was fully immersed m and intimate with the data prior to
intensive analysis Each interview was examined m detail
and coded independently Initially, coding labels were
chosen to reflect the actual words of the participants to
avoid premature abstraction and distortion of meaning
Categories were created from the interpretations of what
the participants said The antecedents, context, contingencies
and consequences were considered m relation to
the categories
