of qualitative <strong>and</strong> quantitative measurements because of these additions, <strong>and</strong> consequentlydifficult to analyze. In an attempt to accommodate this change, the actual data will be treated asnumeric where 0 sits at the left-h<strong>and</strong> end of the 1-7 scale, <strong>and</strong> “2” is recoded as “0” (false/no).This is perhaps justified by making the equivalence between a lack of knowledge <strong>and</strong> a negativeresponse.A second data issue that arose were the significant number of questions for which one ormore of the case studies did not respond at all (missing data) or for which all the case studiesprovided identical responses. In both cases, these questions had to be deleted from the database:missing values could not be imputed to fill in the gaps when only 4 cases were evaluated, <strong>and</strong>constant responses across cases did not help in distinguishing one case from another.Table 1: Questions suppressed from the database due to missing data orconstant response.I2c I2d I3b I4a I4eII2a II2b II3 II4a II4b II4c II4dIII2b III3a III3e III4b III7a III7b III8c III8f III8gIII8h III8i III8j III9a III9c III9f III9g III9h III9iIII9j III10b III10c III10e III10f III10g III10h III10iIII10j III13aIV1 IV2_1a IV2_1b IV2_2a IV2_2b IV2_2c IV2_2eb IV5b IV7aIV7b IV8a IV8d IV9b IV9c IV9dV5b V6a V6b V10a V10b V14a V14b V14c V14d V14e V14f V19V20 V21a V21b V21c V21d V22V23a V23c V24b V24cTable 2: Values for Questions with constant response.Question Value Question Value Question Value Question Value Question ValueI2c 0 I2d 0 I4a 7 I4e 1II3 1III3a 7 III3e 1 III4b 7 III8c 0 III8f 0III8g 0 III9a 1 III9c 0 III9f 0 III9g 0III10b 0 III10c 0IV1 0 IV2_1a 0 IV2_2a 1 IV2_2b 1 IV2_2c 1IV9c 1V17 0 V22 1 V23a 1 V23c 1 V24b 1V24c 1André Dabrowski – Commentary <strong>and</strong> Analysis of Research Questionnaires E-8Exploratory Data Analysis of the Institutional Questionnaire
