Összefoglaló	Digital Qualitative Content Analysis (DQCA) is a systematic method for interpreting meaning from digital texts — social media posts, forum threads, blogs, emails, and other online content — through a structured, category-driven coding process. It extends the established tradition of qualitative content analysis (Mayring; Schreier) to the scale, multimodality, and contextual specificity of digital environments, prioritising interpretive depth over frequency counting.	Netnography is a qualitative research method that adapts the principles of cultural ethnography to the study of online communities and social media environments. Coined by Robert Kozinets in 1997 and systematised in his 2010 handbook, netnography treats digital spaces — forums, social networks, blogs, review sites — as naturally occurring field sites where communities gather, share meanings, and construct identities. The method combines unobtrusive observation of digital traces with active participation and, where appropriate, direct member interaction.
