The Faculty Research Advisor provides assistance in both qualitative and quantitative methodology and analysis. Dr Cox is available for consultation with both staff and students at any stage of the research process (e.g. question formulation, data collection, data analysis). He is happy to talk with any honours or postgraduate students about their project, if approached. Stephen has particular expertise, in varying amounts, in the following areas:
Quantitative approaches
- Survey/questionnaire design
Experimental design
ABS data sources
Data analysis with SPSS, and Stata
Data cleaning (including non-normality, outliers, missing data)
ANOVA, MANOVA, incl repeated measures
Regression (continuous criterion variables, such as marketing success)
Multilevel modelling (limited)
Generalized Linear Models, incl GEE (limited)
Logistic Regression (nominal criterion variables, such as company success or failure)
Log linear analysis
Cluster analysis
Discriminant analysis
Exploratory Factor analysis
Confirmatory Factor Analysis
Multi-dimensional scaling (MDS)
Non-parametric analyses (e.g. chi-square)
Structural Equation Modeling (any issues about the technique in general; and familiarity with AMOS and EQS in particular, but can assist with LISREL).
Qualitative Approaches
- Grounded theory
Interviews
Focus groups
Qualitative questionnaire/survey design
Analysis of text:
Document analysis: archival data, interview, survey, multimedia
Thematic analysis: content analysis
Use of NVIVO 7 software
Issues of (non-positivist) rigor within qualitative approaches.
