摘要	Visual elicitation qualitative content analysis (VEQCA) is a qualitative research approach that combines the use of visual stimuli — photographs, drawings, images, or artifacts — to prompt participant responses, and then applies systematic qualitative content analysis procedures to interpret and categorize the resulting verbal or textual data. The method harnesses the unique cognitive and communicative power of images to surface meanings that purely verbal questioning may not reach, while retaining the rigor of explicit, rule-governed content analysis.	Interpretive visual analysis is a qualitative approach that applies an interpretivist epistemological stance to the systematic examination of visual materials — photographs, film, artwork, diagrams, and other images. Rather than coding surface features, it treats images as socially situated texts whose meanings are constructed through cultural context, viewer positionality, and the conditions of production and circulation. The approach draws on hermeneutics, semiotics, and critical social theory to surface layered meanings that visual data carry.
