Mixed Method Design: Principles and Procedures

by Janice M. Morse, Linda Niehaus

The use of mixed methods designs for conducting research has become a major trend in social science research. Renowned methodological experts Janice Morse and Linda Niehaus present a guide to intermediate and experienced researchers on the possibilities inherent in mixed method research. They offer the basic principles of conducting this kind of study, then examine a wide variety of design options available to the researcher, including their strengths and weaknesses and when to use them. Providing examples from a variety of disciplines, examining potential threats to validity, and showing the relationship between method and theory, the book will be a valuable addition to the methodologist’s library and a useful text in courses in research design.

Clear and complete

Although the book seemed to be written for postgraduate students, I highly encourage any researcher interested in mixed method and expand the application of qualitative research to read it. It covers all aspects of mixed method research including its contraversies. I enjoyed reading it and benefited a lot from various examples and illustrations.

Conducting mixed method research is not a multiple method research. Elaboration on such approach from experts in the field are presented in this book. Highly recommended to understand how to answer your research question using mixed method design!
