Multivariate Quantitative Content Analysis

Multivariate quantitative content analysis (MQCA) is a systematic, replicable approach to measuring multiple attributes of communication content simultaneously and examining how those attributes relate to each other or to external variables. It extends standard content analysis by applying multivariate statistical techniques — such as factor analysis, cluster analysis, regression, or MANOVA — to coded content data, enabling researchers to uncover complex patterns across many variables at once.
