Abstract

The aim of this article is to present a methodological procedure for the exploratory analysis of different groups of individuals who have participated in a qualitative study. The core of the technique is based on the principles of Multiple Factor Analysis (MFA), which takes into account the structure of the data groups, balancing their influence on the overall results. In the first stage, the proposed technique uses the results provided by Multiple Correspondence Analysis (MCA), known for its many advantages in the exploratory analysis of qualitative data. The procedure provides all the results necessary for a comprehensive study of this type of multiple data tables.
