How should I structure the sections of my dissertion when using reflexive thematic analysis with five main themes? Specifically, is it appropriate to use subheadings to describe aspects of each theme rather than identifying them as distinct sub-themes?
In general, sub-themes should be theme-like components of the larger theme. If what you have are simply ways to organize your presentation, then that would point to sub-headings.
Confusion for many researchers exist in the difference between a theme and subtheme. The relationships between the two, definition, and importance are often confused with themes-codes or themes-categories. I think the following suggestion is good advice.
