Qualitative data analysis with chatgpt on semi-structured interview transcripts: a fake example for Housing Studies students
I would like you (chatgpt accessed via poe.com) to study the following three (semi-structured) interview transcripts [fake] and suggest 12 concepts from the these transcripts as an inductive coding exercise. Do indicate the supportive quotations for your identified concepts:
The background of the study: I am a part-time Housing Studies student, currently working on my Research Methods assignment on “how the present economic and demographic trends influence home ownership in Hong Kong:. For that I have conducted three interviews with my Hong Kong millennial friends on their views on “how the present economic and demographic trends influence his/her own home ownership plan in Hong Kong”. I posted the following three questions to them:
Question 1: “What is your view on how the present economic and demographic trends influence the house prices that directly concern you?”
Question 2: “How do the housing price trend and other factors that directly concern you affect your own home ownership plan?”
Question 3: “How do your home ownership plan and associated consideration affect your present quality of life and expected quality of life? Please be specific aspects of life are most affected in this regard.
The three transcripts:
Transcript 1:
Interviewee: Tony Cha:
Question 1: “What is your view on how the present economic and demographic trends influence the house prices that directly concern you?”:
I am too busy to read newspapers; so I rely on my favored KOL, Master Shum advice. In this case, I believe the Stock Market in Hong Kong will do very well while the housing market will deteriorate seriously in the near future. These predicted trends do affect my personal home ownership plan.
Question 2: “How do the housing price trend and other factors that directly concern you affect your own home ownership plan?”
Basically, I may consider to buy a nano flat in Hong Kong in a few years time. But, there are other factors to consider. I need to work hard and save up money with my girl friend (with a thrifty lifestyle) so that we are able to buy a nano flat in a few years' time. Master Shum predicts that the Hong Kong Stock Market will do well this year. So, I borrow money from my parents and use my saving all together to invest in the Stock Market in Hong Kong, so that I can gain more wealth speedily, thus, capable to buy a nano flat sooner. My parents promised to pass their flat to me after they pass away; however, after my mother passed away last year, my father got a girl friend who is trying to ask my father to pass his flat to her, instead of me. I am not sure whether my father will keep his promise to me.
Question 3: “How do your home ownership plan and associated consideration affect your present quality of life and expected quality of life? Please be specific aspects of life are most affected in this regard.”
My home ownership plan depends on a lot of whether my girl friend will ultimately marry me. Recently she told me that she is so fed up with always having lunch and dinner with me at McDonald. She also told me that she is thinking of going to Japan to a 1-year top-up degree programme in Archaeology. I still cannot figure out why it is worthwhile for her to do so. It does affect my confidence on my home ownership plan with her. I also feel very stressful because the Stock Market in Hong Kong fluctuates a lot recently.
Transcript 2:
Interviewee: Taylor Sit.
Question 1: “What is your view on how the present economic and demographic trends influence the house prices that directly concern you?”
My knowledge on the economic and demographic trends comes from my favoured KOL, Evergreen Si. It appears that the housing prices in Hong Kong will get somewhat lower in the near future. It could get better as the government will introduce favourable policy to support the healthy development of the Hong Kong housing market. More immigrants expected to Hong Kong will also boost up housing market performance in the near future. These trends make me feel more confident on my home ownership plan.
Question 2: “How do the housing price trend and other factors that directly concern you affect your own home ownership plan?”
Housing market trend is only one factor to consider. The parents of my boyfriend are rich. They mention that they will give an apartment to by boyfriend and me when we get married. Thus, I have no worries about home ownership in this regard.
Question 3: “How do your home ownership plan and associated consideration affect your present quality of life and expected quality of life? Please be specific aspects of life are most affected in this regard.”
The issue of home ownership does not concern me at all, as my boyfriend and I do not need to work hard and save hard to buy an apartment. My main problem is that my boyfriend is a heavy smoker and, recently, I am concerned about his poor health. I hope he will remain healthy when we get married in a few years’ time. Due to my worry about my boyfriend’s health, I am not able to sleep well recently.
Transcript 3:
Interviewee: Jenny So.
Question 1: “What is your view on how the present economic and demographic trends influence the house prices that directly concern you?”
I feel that there are conflicting news about the economic and demographic trends affecting the housing market in Hong Kong. To simplify the matter, I rely on the advice Fung Shui masters, notably LL Mak and MF So. They both hold negative views on the housing market in Hong Kong and refer to some economic and demographic statistics to support their Fung Shui analysis. I trust them more than Master Shum, anyway. Nevertheless, the Hong Kong housing market does not concern me much as my boyfriend, Tony Ja, is from Thailand. After marriage with him, I plan to emigrate to Thailand.
Question 2: “How do the housing price trend and other factors that directly concern you affect your own home ownership plan?”
While the Hong Kong housing market does not directly concern me, I need to have contingency plan. If I break up with my boyfriend, Tony Ja, I will invite my close friends, Ann Li and Mary Tai, who are my Housing Studies classmate, to buy a flat together in Sham Shui Pui. They both tell me that they do not have boyfriends and are not interested in getting married.
Question 3: “How do your home ownership plan and associated consideration affect your present quality of life and expected quality of life? Please be specific aspects of life are most affected in this regard.”
Presently, my home ownership plan is a trivial matter if I got married with my boyfriend, Tony Ja, and emigrate to Thailand. I do need to maintain my contingency plan to co-own an apartment with my two classmates. In this respect, I still need to work hard and save up money. My worry is that, I am not sure if I can get along well with Tony Ja’s parents if I have to live with them in Thailand. I am also worried that Ann and May may change their life plans later. Because of that, I feel experience life stress these days. Besides, Tony Ja appears to be more interested in Kung Fu than in me recently.

** in actual practice, it is preferable to ask chatgpt to generate more than one coding scheme (e.g. a 13-codes scheme, a 14-codes scheme) for the researcher to evaluate which one is more preferable to him/ her).
A conceptual framework is constructed by me based on the coding scheme generated by chatgpt (re: the 12 codes), shown as follows (re: A conceptual framework on economic and demographic trends and home ownership as perceived by HK millennials):
