Afterdoing this categorization , the researchers realized that it would be critical to separate two ofGee’s1 categories, a) State and Action, and b) Ability and Constraint into four separatecategories. This decision was important given that participants made distinct reference to thesecategories and to converge them would have given a faulty representation of participants’experiences. Conversely, the researchers decided to eliminate the Achievement Statementcategory due to the absence of this category in the data. Later in the analysis process the topthree
