Abstract
Because all methods of data collection have limitations, the
use of multiple methods can neutralize or cancel out some of
the disadvantages of certain methods. As well, the strengths of
each approach can complement each other and because social
phenomena are so complex, different kinds of methods are
needed to best understand these complexities. Mixed methods
are particularly appropriate for collaborative and applied
research since it enables the researcher to answer confirmatory
and exploratory questions at the same time, and as a result,
the researcher can construct and confirm theory in the same
study. Furthermore, it can provide explanations for seemingly
contradictory results that emerge from using different methods.
