概要	Visual Elicitation Metaphor Analysis (VEMA) is a qualitative technique in which participants select or create images that represent their thoughts, feelings, or experiences about a topic, and then articulate the metaphors embedded in those images during a guided interview. Originally formalised as the Zaltman Metaphor Elicitation Technique (ZMET) by Gerald Zaltman in 1995, the approach rests on the premise that most human thought is nonverbal and structured through metaphor, making images a more direct gateway to deep mental models than verbal questioning alone.	Thematic Analysis (TA) is a qualitative research methodology for identifying, analyzing, and reporting patterns (themes) in qualitative data. Developed systematically by Virginia Braun and Victoria Clarke (2006), TA is flexible and accessible, applicable across diverse theoretical frameworks and data types, making it one of the most widely used qualitative methods in psychology, health research, and social sciences.
