Qualitative Approaches to Dyadic Data Analyses in Family Communication Research: An Invited Essay

Abstract

This essay reviews interpretive approaches to dyadic analysis using qualitative data. After reviewing classic approaches to dyadic analysis of qualitative data, we explore some of the benefits these classic approaches offer family communication studies. We then look to three new approaches to dyadic analysis—multiadic analysis, affective analysis, and collaborative autoethnography—that can be of benefit to those who study families. We close with thoughts about observing family interaction and building theory across research paradigms.
