I'm a quantitative researcher who has found himself having to take a course in qualitative research. The level of subjectivity I associate with qualitative research makes it difficult for me to absorb a lot of the principles of qualitative methods but you've done a very good job making it digestible. Thank you.

When I read about grounded theory content analysis is often linked with it. Within grounded theory the original authors diverted somewhat and but content analysis is associated with it. So what specifically is the difference between grounded theory ( which I thought was more of an approach) and content analysis?

i want to do something in economics but it is including major part of biological concepts that can't be quantify so finally i reached from where I had started.
Didn’t realize my liberal arts degree employed LOTS of qualitative research analysis (how many US male politicians who cheat apologize publicly, and public reaction, for example). I can also think of how we studied language as a means of shaping concepts (for example, using words such as “higher” and “lower” classes to create hierarchies of humans in society, the bootstraps myth, etc). Finally, we spoke about mass shooters versus terrorists. Do the words evoke thoughts of specific skin colors, or ethnic or religious identities? We also talked about bias awareness, which was a huge part of my interviews. I did surveys, transcribing, anecdotal interpretation, etc. So cool! All this as part of philosophy, religious studies, and gender studies.
