Toward a Content Analysis of Love It or List It

What might a coding sheet look like for a content analysis of Love It or List It


Reason couple is deciding to move:

______More square footage


______Bigger yard


______Desperate for open concept kitchen


______I have no clue because current house is perfect


______Location


The couple:

______Likes each other


______Hates each other


______If you can't be with the one you love, buy a bigger house in a higher status neighborhood.


Budget:

______$200,000-$499,999


______$500,000-$999,999


______$1 million+


______How do these couples have a $1 million budget?


______What about people buying houses for less than $200,000?


The couple freaks out at some point in the episode because:

______The appliances aren't amazing.


______The storage options aren't amazing.


______The en suite isn't amazing (Who says en suite?!)


______I told you I want to stay in my current neighborhood!                                                                             

______There's no pool!


______Commute is too long.


______Only one and half bathrooms? 


The researcher doing the coding gets angry or jealous or some combination thereof because:


_____How are you not blown away by that bathroom?


_____Do you really need marble?


_____I admit to wanting that fireplace.


____You keep talking about entertaining but the New York Times said people don't have parties anymore.                                                                             
                                                                                      
____You seem wicked entitled and annoying and why am I watching this?
                                                                                        


The couple:

____is mildly annoying.


____is super annoying.


____One person in this couple is alright. 


The couple:


__________________________________________ Loves it


__________________________________________ Lists it
