Hi #psychometrics! I need a little advice. I have an item pool compiled from scales of a systematic review. I need to analyse them to generate draft items for a new scale. Do I use thematic analysis or qualitative content analysis? Or something else?
Helpful advice appreciated. 🙏

After two focus groups with some amazing Ukrainian ladies and a gent building their lives in Portugal, I feel so inspired. ✨
Their kindness, generosity, and openness remind me why this PhD project matters — and I’m determined to see it through. I won’t let them down!
