This method involves research participants listing what they know or think about the researcher’s topic. This book incorporates free-list analyses with other analytical methods and demonstrates their broad applicability. The book starts with descriptive methods, then outlines a predictive statistical framework. The author explains how to collect, clean, and manage free-list data and how to use R to calculate and visualize them.
