The document analyzes profanity use through open, axial and selective coding of responses from interviews. Open coding grouped responses into categories like where profanity is used (arguments, conversations) and reasons for use (releasing emotions, influence of peers). Axial coding analyzed how responses were related, such as profanity mostly being used in arguments to release pent up emotions. Selective coding identified core phenomena like using profanity to release emotions from anger or stress, though this depends on environmental and social factors like whether in church or with family.
