Appropriate Topics for Content Analysis Materials appropriate for content analysis
Studies have focused on suicide notes, letters, magazines, wills, textbooks, radio programs, personal ads, verbal exchanges, speeches, etc…

Appropriate Topics for Content Analysis Questions Asked by Content Analyzers
Who says what, to whom, why, how, and with what effect?
Another frequent use of content analysis is hypothesis testing.
Example Do you think local, regional, or national newspapers
are more likely to headline international stories on the top of the front page?

Quantitative Content Analysis
Units of analysis The units about which information is collected
![Page 10: Adler clark 4e ppt 13](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052203/554cae33b4c905aa608b481a/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Quantitative Content Analysis
Units of observation The units from which information is collected
![Page 11: Adler clark 4e ppt 13](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052203/554cae33b4c905aa608b481a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Quantitative Content Analysis
Example If you were interested in the difference
between commercials during children’s and adults’ TV programs, your units of observation would be children’s and adults’ TV programs, but the units of analysis would be the commercials attached to those programs.
