2018-2019 ISSR Project Title: From Inter-Annotator Agreement to Explained Variation: Content Analytic Coding That Allows Interpretive Flexibility
Researchers typically insist upon high inter-coder reliability (ICR) for content analysis conducted by teams of media annotators, but this may be inappropriate when researching communications open to subjective interpretation. Dr. Gross will develop a measurement approach that takes advantage of annotator variability in assessing the strength of signal communicated by authors engaged in political value framing.
