Coding frames in psychological research are systematic methods for categorizing and quantifying qualitative data, such as behaviors and speech. They enable researchers to convert observations into quantitative data, allowing for statistical analysis and the identification of patterns. This process is crucial for ensuring the consistency, reliability, and validity of studies, despite potential limitations like the loss of contextual detail and researcher bias.
