arXiv:2607. 28889v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Qualitative researchers increasingly encounter interaction corpora whose scale exceeds what manual coding alone can address, and large language models (LLMs) are frequently proposed as analytic assistants.
The paper introduces Agent-as-Peer-Debriefing, a multi‑agent framework that incorporates peer debriefing into qualitative data analysis with large language models. A Hierarchical Coding Agent generates codes and reflections, which are then refined by three Peer‑Debriefing Agents applying Theory‑Driven, Data‑Driven, or Applied perspectives. Experiments on three datasets show that perspective‑based refinement aligns more closely with human codes than a single‑LLM baseline, and that the choice of perspective offers meaningful trade‑offs.
