One aspect of the research that proved to be particularly challenging was the generation of emotions for both the participant and the researcher during the qualitative interviews.

Qualitative data is an open universe, as it includes virtually any non-numerical data that can be captured and revolves around collecting, analyzing, and interpreting data that are difficult to reduce utilizing numerical methods.
