Pick one of the four types of triangulation. Explain its parts subtypes (if applicable), and describe how it could be used

What will be an ideal response?


The four types of triangulation are data, investigator, theory, and methodological. Data triangulation has three subtypes: time, space, and person. Person analysis has three sublevels: aggregate, interactive, and collectivity. Investigator triangulation consists of using multiple rather than single observers of the same object. Investigator triangulation is used when multiple researchers collect data, either for interview or participant observation. Theory triangulation consists of using multiple rather than simple perspectives in relation to the same set of objects. Methodological triangulation can entail within-method triangulation and between-method triangulation. Triangulation increases the depth of understanding a single investigation can yield.
