*3.1.3 Qualitative data analysis*

Respondents' verbal descriptions were analyzed using a *Grounded Theory* approach [48] drawing from previous research on studio practices (e.g., [49]). This approach consists of extracting meaningful phrasings from the free-format verbal descriptions to be classified into concepts and categories without preconceived themes. Specifically, the constant comparison technique of Grounded Theory called for a minimum of two researchers to review each other's classification and to draw parallels between findings from the different questions, to gradually refine the emerging concepts and categories as well as to identify consensus and contradictions among outcomes of different questions. Results will be presented with the count of phrasing occurrences for each concept and category.
