Finally, the results of analysis by research methods indicate that ‘descriptive
design’ is most commonly used between the two countries. The second utilized
method is ‘qualitative design’ in American articles and ‘secondary studies’ in South
Korean articles. Specifically, the high percentage of ‘qualitative design’ seems to be
related to the high distribution of a content category of ‘perspectives, lives and
experiences’ in American articles. The high percentage of ‘secondary study’ seems
to be closely related to the high percentage of ‘household samples and student
samples’ in South Korean articles.
