Notes: The three “Aspects” are blended with each other. Each “Aspect” is divided into objective properties (upper rows) and subjective properties (lower rows). Under “Process” and “Consequences” columns, initial bullet points represent codes and indented bullet points represent sub-codes. Double-sided arrows signify a dynamic relationship between autonomy and egalitarian connection. A slash between codes signifies terms that are almost synonymous. Double-quotes signify distinct in vivo codes.
