Mixed Method Data Collection Strategies

Abstract: Social scientists have long relied on a wide range of tools to collect information about the social world, but as individual fields have become more specialised, researchers are trained to use a narrow range of the possible data collection methods. This book, first published in 2006, draws on a broad range of available social data collection methods to formulate a set of data collection approaches. The approaches described here are ideal for social science researchers who plan to collect new data about people,… Show more

“…The use of the mixed method approach, or the use of both quantitative and qualitative methods, can compensate for the downsides of each individual research method (Axinn & Pearce, 2006). Using a combination of qualitative and quantitative research methods provides a way to triangulate the findings and determine if the interpretations made or the information collected are truly accurate and representative of the participants.…”

“…It has also been noted (Axinn & Pearce, 2006) that combining qualitative and quantitative research can help a researcher illustrate relationships in his or her investigation. Rather than simply interpreting the information gained from interviews, a researcher can also use the data collected from surveys of those same people to show that certain variables are related to the larger issue being examined.…”

“…Likewise, focus group interviews are among one of the most widely used qualitative research tools in social sciences studies. A probable benefit of this approach is that interviewees may feel greater confidence in a group setting, which may encourage them to offer comments and discuss matters they would not in a one-on-one interview (Axinn & Pearce, 2006).…”

“…Importantly, electronic data collection methods facilitate the data entry process. While these methods have the potential to revolutionalize conventional paper -and-pencil diary techniques (Axinn and Pearce, 2006), researches should keep in mind the need to provide participants with proper training to overcome computer illiteracy. Lately, researchers have developed smartphone apps programmed to function as diaries (Miller, 2012).…”
