Intensity Matrix
1
Poor to Fair
The causal mechanism
is confused with a
strategy or outcome or
multiple causal
mechanisms are
implied.
More than one element
is missing from the GT
figure.
Categorical codes for
strategies are not
concrete or
observable; or
identified in bold.
Support is not is
provided for changes
in the client (e.g.
through citing of
incidents and intensity
matrix)
No causal conditions
are discussed in the
extended memo.
No negative case is
presented in the
extended memo.
The intensity matrix is
Good
Single causal
mechanism, but not
clear explanation for
why it caused positive
change in the client.
Excellent
A single causal mechanism is identified & explanation provided
for how it is associated with change in the client; the causal
mechanism relates to a process observed during therapy
GT figure is missing
one key part or
contains an inaccuracy.
Only one or two
categorical codes are
identified in bold but
do not appear in the
intensity matrix.
Answer to this RQ does
not trace changes in
the client over time.
The GT figure (logic diagram) is complete and accurately
labeled.
Conditions are
described that were
not possible to know
from the observed
scenes.
The causal mechanism
is not used to explain
the negative case.
At least one condition that reflects external elements that
influence the effectiveness of the causal mechanism is
identified.
Exemplars are in the Resources Folder in Scholar.
Three or more categorical codes used throughout the coding
process appear in bold throughout the extended memo and
match codes that appear in the intensity matrix and are
supported by coding in the FNs.
At least one concrete observable change in the client and
outcomes that reflect his improved state is described and the
change is documented by the intensity matrix and coded FNs.
The causal mechanism (and related strategies) is used to
effectively explain why the negative case was ineffective in
promoting change in the client.
Intensity matrix shows support for different elements of the
Formatting
Completeness
incomplete or shows
support for nonconcrete categorical
codes (e.g. trust, care)
that were added later
in the process.
One or more
descriptive headings
are missing.
. Some but not all
sections refer to both
GWH & AF.
GT in both videos or explains absence in the second; only
includes concrete categorical codes that were used during
open or focused coding.
Headings are used effectively to distinguish research question
and highlight the inclusions of incidents from both videos.
All sections include references to incidents from both GWH and
AF.
