Empirical findings

The following section will describe the major findings from the process of data collection. This data collection has been guided by the developed coding manual and rules have been applied according to the anchors that are described in chapter 3.4.3. First the author is going to describe how the sample has been chosen and what have been the criteria for including or excluding a specific item. This statement is followed by an univariate analysis of each category that is carried out in the coding manual. Where it seems to be reasonable, contingency tables are applied in order to unveil potential relationships between codes. Additionally qualitative findings are presented to substantiate the quantitative assertion or to clarify specific findings.
