Denzin (1989) believed that combining multiple theories, methods, observers, and data sources can assist researchers in overcoming the intrinsic bias that comes from single-theory, single-methods, and single-observer studies. Triangulation evolved to include using multiple data collection and analysis methods, multiple data sources, multiple analysts, and multiple theories or perspectives. The concept of triangulation is now commonly replaced with the idea of mixed methods approaches
