...The definition by Boyatzis (1998) of latent and manifest is somewhat narrower than our identification of latent and semantic, and he identifies thematic analysis as incorporating both latent and manifest aspects....

...Thematic analysis is widely used, but there is no clear agreement about what thematic analysis is and how you go about doing it (see Attride-Stirling, 2001; Boyatzis, 1998; Tuckett, 2005, for other examples)....

...Codes identify a feature of the data (semantic content or latent) that appears interesting to the analyst, and refer to ‘the most basic segment, or element, of the raw data or information that can be assessed in a meaningful way regarding the phenomenon’ (Boyatzis, 1998: 63)....

...Indeed, Holloway and Todres (2003: 347) identify ‘thematizing meanings’ as one of a few shared generic skills across qualitative analysis.2 For this reason, Boyatzis (1998) characterizes it, not as a specific method, but as a tool to use across different methods....

.../101 Key words: epistemology; flexibility; patterns; qualitative psychology; thematic analysis Thematic analysis is a poorly demarcated and rarely acknowledged, yet widely used qualitative analytic method (Boyatzis, 1998; Roulston, 2001) within and beyond psychology....

...In addition to coding with words and short phrases, never overlook the opportunity to “pre-code” (Layder, 1998) by circling, highlighting, bolding, underlining, or coloring rich or significant participant quotes or passages that strike you – those “codable moments” worthy of attention (Boyatzis, 1998)....

This involved a template in the form of codes from a codebook to be applied as a means of organizing text for subsequent interpretation....

...Most existing TA approaches, like that expressed by US psychologist Richard Boyatzis (1998) in his book Transforming qualitative information, did not – from our perspective as terrors – quite ‘get it’: to us, then, ‘proper’ qualitative research dare not contain even a whiff of positivism....
