I will conduct stimulated recall interviews with graduate students after eye-tracking. The interviews will be prompted by each participant’s eye-gaze replay in Tobii Studio. The data I will collect from these interviews, can I analyze them using thematic analysis?
A lot depends on what the goal is for the qualitative portion of your study and what kinds of questions you will be asking.
One alternative might to think in terms of a mixed methods study, where the results from the quantitative data would drive the analysis of the qualitative data in what is known as an explanatory sequential design (QUANT --> qual). In that case, the purpose of the qualitative data would be to help understand the quantitative results.
What analysis method you want to use depends on goals of the analysis as said above. Just looking at literature, stimulated recall interviews have been analyzed at least with EPP-method (which is used to produce themes and connections between the themes). I have seen methods looking like thematic analysis used with stimulated recall data without explicitly naming the method as thematic analysis. So if you want to find prior examples justifying the use of thematic analysis from previous research, I think you could find examples.
