Given below are two statements:
Statement I: Content analysis cannot be applied to visual materials.
Statement II: It is difficult to ascertain answers to 'why?' questions through content analysis.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Statement I is false but Statement II is true.
This is a two-statement question, so judge each statement on its own before choosing.
Statement I says content analysis cannot be applied to visual materials. This is false. Content analysis is a technique for systematically classifying and counting the content of any recorded communication, and that includes photographs, advertisements, films, television programmes, cartoons and other visual media. Researchers regularly code visual images for themes, symbols and how people are portrayed. So visual material is very much within its reach.
Statement II says it is difficult to ascertain answers to 'why?' questions through content analysis. This is true. Content analysis describes what is present in a message and how often — it tells you what and how much, not the underlying motives. It cannot by itself explain why a communicator produced the content or why audiences respond as they do, because intention and causation lie outside the visible text.
So the first statement is false while the second is true.
A note for aspirants: UGC officially dropped this question from final scoring, but the reasoning above is what the examiners intended and is worth mastering.
Correct answer: Statement I is false but Statement II is true.
