What is the concept selected-state and define the terms? Aims or purposes of this analysis-why are you doing the analysis? Discuss all possible uses of the concept briefly-how is the concept used in different contexts, examples and then how are you using it for this paper. Determine the defining attributes-regardless of where it exists, what are the common identifiers that the person has this characteristic. Identify a model case-Use the attributes you’ve identified and highlight them in a case. Concept Analysis Paper. A case that is hypothetical, from a text, or that you have experienced in practice. Identify a borderline case and contrary case-what is a case that is something like the model case, but misses some attributes. Identify antecedents and consequences-what happens before the concept instance is identified; what happens as a result of acquiring it? Define empirical referents- how do you know that what you are seeing is really it? How would you measure it? Or know that you are reserving it?
