◉ Parallel (sample relationship criterion).
Answer: samples for quantitative and qualitative components are
different but drawn from same population
◉ Nested (sample relationship criterion).
Answer: Participants selected for one phase represent a subject of
participants selected for another phase
◉ Multi-level (sample relationship criterion).
Answer: Using qualitative and quantitative samples obtained from
different levels of population under study. Different people form
different areas of different populations.
◉ Types of Validity in Mixed Method Research.
Answer: Inside-outside, conversion, sample integration,
paradigmatic/philosophical, sequential, sociopolitical,
commensurability approximation, weakness minimization, multiple
◉ Inside-Outside Validity.
,Answer: the degree to which the researcher accurately understand,
uses, and presents the participants' subjective insider (emic) views
and researchers objective outsider (etic) view
◉ Conversion Validity.
Answer: The degree to which quantitizing or qualitizing yields high-
quality meta-inferences
◉ Sample Integration Validity.
Answer: the degree to which a mixed researcher makes appropriate
conclusions, generalizations, and meta-inferences from mixed
samples
◉ Paradigmatic/Philosophical Validity.
Answer: the degree to which the mixed researcher clearly explains
his or her philosophical beliefs about research
◉ Sequential Validity.
Answer: the degree to which a mixed researcher appropriately
addresses and/or builds on findings from earlier qualitative and
quantitative phases.
◉ Sociopolitical Validity.
, Answer: the degree a mixed researcher addresses the interests,
value and viewpoints of multiple stake-holders in a research process
◉ Commensurability Approximation Validity.
Answer: the degree to which meta-inferences made in a mixed
research study reflect a mixed worldview
◉ Weakness Minimization Validity.
Answer: the degree researcher combines qualitative and
quantitative approaches with non-overlapping weaknesses
◉ Multiple Validity.
Answer: the extent to which all the pertinent validities are
addressed and resolved successfully
◉ Types of Analysis in Mixed Method Research.
Answer: Mono-analysis and multi-analysis
◉ Mixed Method Strengths.
Answer: Gives a big comprehensive picture of what's going on
A research can use the strengths of an additional method to
overcome the weaknesses in another method
