According to the text, why might a researcher not be overly impressed in a content
  analysis if the coding agreement between two coders was 90 or .90?


 
 

a. The coders could have been cheating and discussing their coding decisions with
  each other instead of doing them independently.
  b. The content to be coded might have been unusually easy to code.
  c. Since the rule of thumb for coding agreement is .70 or 70, a 90 agreement
  only surpasses the threshold by a minimum amount.
  d. If the coding only involved two categories, the coders would agree by chance
  50 of the timethus making 90 agreement less impressive than it sounds.
  e. It would indicate that the content coded by the coders was virtually identical
  something that a good content analysis attempts to avoid.
