A unit of analysis is the basic unit that is being studied in a research project. In this scenario, Lincoln is treating each participant's statement as a unit of analysis while analyzing the data from his study. Option A, attribute, refers to a characteristic or feature of an individual or object. Option B, trait category, is not a relevant term in this scenario. Option D, operant, refers to a behavior that is strengthened or weakened by its consequences, and is not applicable here.
