Answer to Question 1

b

Answer to Question 2

Secondary analysis occurs when researchers use existing material and

analyze data that were originally collected by others. Existing data

sources include public records, official reports of organizations and

government agencies, and surveys conducted by researchers.

Secondary analysis may involve obtaining raw data collected by other

researchers and undertaking a statistical analysis of the data, or it may

involve the use of other researchers' existing statistical analyses.

Strengths include the following: (1) data are readily available and

inexpensive, (2) since the researcher often does not collect the data

personally, the chances of bias may be reduced, and (3) the use of

existing sources makes it possible to analyze longitudinal data to provide

a historical context within which to locate original research. Weaknesses

include the following: (1) the data may be incomplete, unauthentic, or

inaccurate, (2) the various data from which content analysis is done may

not be strictly comparable with one another, and (3) coding this data

sorting, categorizing, and organizing them into conceptual categories

may be difficult.
