Exam 12: Mixed Methods

With a stage mixed-methods design,qualitative and quantitative methods are used concurrently in the research,but one is given priority.

Methods for conducting research where the research is done in a sequence rather than concurrently includes an embedded method and an integrated method.

QUAN+QUAL means that two methods are used concurrently and have equal priority.

Mixed methods create extra challenges for researchers ______.

If quantitative measures are first enhanced by using qualitative measures,then that could be written as ______.

A researcher who diagrams her research as (QUAL→QUAN)+(QUAL+QUAN)has used what type of research design?

Ethical challenges that arise because of the use of mixed methods includes ______.

If a measurement is written as (QUAN)qual,that means that ______.

(QUAN)qual means that the secondary method,which is quantitative,is done sequentially.

Diagram at least three methods of research where the sequence of methods is sequential and they are prioritized using a staged mixed method research design.

When a researcher uses qualitative findings to move away from simplistic assumptions gleaned from the quantitative data,they are using mixed methods to strengthen ______.

If a researcher used a sample then interviewed part of that sample,leading to the development of a structure questionnaire and then administered it to a different random sample,the diagram for that research would be written as ______.

A single method may not represent adequately the social world's complexity that we are trying to understand

Part of the reasons for why there has been an increase in the use of mixed methods research designs include ______.

Which of the following is true regarding sociologists and mixed methods?

Staged method is to embedded method as QUAN→Qual is to ______.

Define complex mixed-methods research design.

The researchers begin with a quantitative structured survey,which leads them to a series of focus groups,which then develops into 20+ intensive interviews.What type of design is this?

What were the "paradigm wars?"

A research design method that would provide greater confidence in the validity of measures when using different methods to measure the same phenomenon involves ______.
