The use of both of qualitative and quantitative data in a study or cluster of studies serves the important purpose of which of the following?
A) Providing researchers with different skills an opportunity to collaborate
B) Enhancing the study's validity
C) Allowing participants to select an unstructured or structured method of responding
D) Enhancing the likelihood that the study will be published
B
Feedback:
Enhanced validity is an advantage of mixed methods research. When a hypothesis or model is supported by multiple and complementary types of data, researchers can be more confident about their inferences. The mixed methods approach does not necessarily increase the likelihood that the study will be published. It does not allow participants to select their method of responding, although it can involve intramethod mixing (for example, use of structured and unstructured self-reports). Providing researchers with different skills an opportunity to collaborate is not an important rationale for this approach.
