2.4. Data Analysis
All interviews were audio recorded and transcribed verbatim into Microsoft Word (Microsoft, Redmond, WA, USA), wherein the data were deidentified and referred to by an identification code before the transcripts were checked against the recordings for accuracy. The data analysis was led by the first author. The data were imported into NVivo (version 12.0; QSR International, Doncaster, VIC, Australia). Inductive thematic analysis was used to provide a nuanced and descriptive account of participants’ views on indulgences. In thematic analysis, the application of themes across data sets facilitates a systematic overview of the scope of the data, which allows the combination of the analysis of their meanings with their particular contexts [Following Braun and Clarke’s [The trustworthiness of the findings was facilitated using two methods. First, one of the co-authors (A.C.) independently checked the initial coding strategies and the coding framework generated by the first author to establish procedural reliability and conceptual credibility. Secondly, interpretations were openly discussed and appropriately challenged to achieve a final consensus by reviewing the framework and critically probing for explanations of certain decisions made by the first author.
