Approaches to Mixed Methods Research

About this book

Approaches to Mixed Methods Research focuses on the choices social scientists make when designing a study that mixes quantitative and qualitative data. Authors Lisa D. Pearce and Jessica Halliday Hardie explore ways to weave together strands of research using qualitative and quantitative data to speak to and enhance each other; a strand being a series of steps involved in collecting and analyzing a single type of data. The result, they show, is a more holistic body of evidence that emerges, and they illustrate this with examples from a wide range of studies from the United States and other countries.
