Designing and Conducting Mixed Methods Research

Product Information

With contributions from over 80 of the biggest names and rising stars of the field, this Handbook isan essential resource for anyone interested in the contemporary, emerging, and evolving practice of mixed methods research and scholarship. If the research involves human subjects, then include a detailed description of who and how many participated along with how the participants were selected.

In this case, a group of people (normally, 4-12) is gathered for an interview where the interviewer asks questions to such group of participants. Group interactions and discussions can be highly productive, but the researcherhas tobeware of the group effect, whereby certain participants and views dominate the interview (Saunders, Lewis and Thornhill 2015, p419). The researcher can try to minimise this by encouraging involvement of all participants and promoting a multiplicity of views.

Sage Recommends

Primary data are data (primary sources) you directly obtained through your empirical work (Saunders, Lewis and Thornhill 2015, p316). Often, especially at the postgraduate level, it will also useprimary sources- secondary and/or primary data. The engagement with primary sources is generally appreciated, as less reliant on others' interpretations, and closer to 'facts'. In this part, provide an accurate, detailed account of the methods and procedures that were used in the study or the experiment(if applicable!).
