Approaches to Mixed Methods Research shows how social scientists design studies that mix quantitative and qualitative data in ways that lead to a more holistic body of evidence from the research.
A readable, interesting book on mixed methods. The authors provide insights into the highs and lows of the research trajectory, including examples that will get students excited about their own research agendas.
This book makes a compelling case for how different strands of research can enhance each other in social inquiry.
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.
