“…Experts and researchers apply QCA inductively, deductively, or summatively (Hsieh & Shannon, 2005;Mayring, 2000;Mayring, 2014). The inductive approach to QCA aids in developing schematic models, theories/themes, conceptual/theoretical frameworks, or theories as the most commonly used data analysis approach (Vaismoradi et al, 2013(Vaismoradi et al, , 2016; it could be tested and refined by employing it with QCA (Aslam, Alsharairi, Barzani et al, 2024;Elo & Kyngäs, 2008). DQCA is employed in various domains, but its application in political communication remains relatively less explored (Elo & Kyngäs, 2008).…”
