תקציר	Bayesian quantitative content analysis systematically codes and counts features in textual or media content, then quantifies patterns and tests hypotheses using Bayesian statistical inference. Unlike classical frequency-based content analysis, it incorporates prior knowledge or domain expectations into the estimation process, producing posterior probability distributions over content parameters rather than single point estimates with p-values. The approach is particularly valuable when prior research, expert knowledge, or pilot data exist and when uncertainty quantification around content proportions and category frequencies is important.	Longitudinal quantitative content analysis systematically codes and counts features of texts, images, or media messages gathered at two or more points in time, enabling researchers to track how content changes, how themes rise or fall in prevalence, and how media or institutional messaging responds to external events. The design merges the structured measurement logic of quantitative content analysis with the temporal tracking power of longitudinal observation.
