Mixed methods is one of the largest growth areas in research methods and it is increasingly recognized that mixing methods and types of data requires new sets of skills and sensibilities. This comprehensive guide to all aspects of doing mixed methods research provides a thorough overview of the field, including discussion of theory, design, collection and analysis. Max Bergman explores the central debates and answers vital questions, such as: - Will a mixed method design get us closer to objectivity? - Is it possible to mix different theoretical approaches, or is it even possible to mix epistemologies? - Is mixing methods better than using only one method? Mixed Methods Research provides an invaluable introduction to the theory and method of using mixed methods in social research. It will be of great use to students on research training courses in a range of disciplines, including health, education and sociology.
