Depth Content Analysis Via M.R.P. Software

The production of this paper was motivated by the public distribution of the Multidisciplinary Research Package (MRP) software to the universities by the Ministry of Science, Research, and Technology of Islamic Republic of Iran. The MRP software is the result of a twenty-year effort by a group of the Iranian researchers. The Multidisciplinary Research Package allows what we call a novel Depth Content Analysis, also referred to as Mixed Methods, which works better than both Quantitative and Qualitative methods. In this regard, the paper starts with discussing the three (Quantitative, Qualitative, and Mixed) movements. Then, we explain the background, structure, and applications of the Mixed Analysis approach. Next, while reviewing some of the research projects and dissertations that have used Depth Content Analysis and Mixed Analysis capabilities in MRP, various examples are discussed in each case. Finally, we argue that Depth Content Analysis and MRP software are capable of providing user-friendly Representations, Stereotypes, finding "Central Points", using contingency models and analysis of the Phi correlation coefficient matrices.
