“…Indeed, recent studies with nearly identical research procedures as the present study, closely follow this rule-of-thumb. This led to satisfactory outputs, as shown by the cases of Hadley and Grogan (2023) with a sample of 21 subjects, and Napier et al (2009) with 19 interviews in total. Thus, a conservative approach was taken in the current study, and a sufficient sample size was determined by the data collection processes which were conducted until theoretical saturation was reached.…”

Purpose Drawing from the Personal Construct Theory, this study aims to analyze the impact of using gamified apps on user behavior by investigating the service-related images and individual preferences of Generation Z (GenZ) consumers, as these emerge from gamified applications in a tourism context. Design/methodology/approach The repertory grid analysis (RGA) elicited the top elements that reflect GenZer perceptions in tourism from empirical studies in the UK and Greece. Generalized procrustes analysis was used to investigate the structure of the data for the creation of representative consensus biplots of the most important conceptual constructs to advance consumer decision-making modeling via gamification. Findings As per different gamified app best-practices considered, the authors extract not only common perceptual elements (e.g. place informative aspects, exploration, lodgings, food/catering) but also different image components (e.g. virtual/interactive, business vs commercial traveling, entertainment, heritage/cultural informative aspects) from comparing UK with Greek GenZers’ responses. These extracted attributes are then presented in two dimensional charts, respectively, toward creating tourist perception scales. Research limitations/implications Notwithstanding the wide availability of gamified apps, research on gamification design in tourism and hospitality is still in the early phase. This study demonstrates the need to identify and optimize the formation of different images among GenZers. It also highlights the advantageous nature of the proposed combination of procrustes analysis with the RGA. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this research is among the first empirical ones toward creating scales for measuring tourist perceptions of GenZers coming from different consumer markets. It responds to scholars’ recent calls for better informing gamification design and improving contemporary consumer experience.

“…In the fourth article, Hadley and Grogan (2023), with affiliations in humanities, conducted a critical assessment of the repertory grid technique as a tool for mixed methods research. The authors examined the background of this technique with regard to personal construct theory, indicating specific examples of repertory grid use in mixed methods studies that used convergent, explanatory sequential, and exploratory sequential designs.…”

This April 2023 issue of the Journal of Mixed Methods Research (JMMR) includes an editorial for a new virtual special issue, one research note, four articles, and a special thanks to reviewers during the 2022 publication year.In the editorial, Archibald (2023) introduces the sixth virtual special issue of JMMR, focused on collaboration in mixed methods research. Virtual special issues are online-only collections of previously published JMMR articles. These collections are prepared by chief or associate editors, identifying important contributions relative to a chosen theme . The first virtual special issues focused on paradigms (Molina-Azorin & Fetters, 2020), integration (Guetterman et al., 2020), quality (Fàbregues et al., 2021), mixed methods research in education (Shannon-Baker, 2022), and designs (Poth et al., 2022). In this sixth virtual special issue, Archibald (2023), with affiliation in nursing, has selected 18 articles about the use of collaborative practices in mixed methods research. These articles are grouped in four topics: (1) discrete participatory methods, (2) within and between collaborative team dynamics, (3) indigenous communities and marginalized groups, and (4) community-based participatory research. Benefits and challenges of collaborative mixed methods research are emphasized, indicating opportunities for future collaborative approaches in mixed methods research. JMMR virtual special issues can be seen on the home webpage, in the collections section.Regarding the manuscripts published in this April 2023 issue, in a research note, Morgan (2023), with affiliation in sociology, conducted a comparison between articles published in JMMR, representing the core of the field, and a broad and random sample of articles from outside
