Sample Questions – Chapter 14: Mixed Methods and Outcomes Research

  1. Question 1. Which of the following accurately describes the purpose of a mixed-methods study?
    • a. To capitalize on the weaknesses of numbers and words to answer different components or stages of a research question
    • b. To capitalize on the weaknesses of numbers and words to answer similar components or stages of a research question
    • c. To capitalize on the strengths of numbers and words to answer similar components or stages of a research question
    • d. To capitalize on the strengths of numbers and words to answer different components or stages of a research question

    Correct Answer: d. To capitalize on the strengths of numbers and words to answer different components or stages of a research question

    Rationale: Mixed-methods studies are designed to use the strengths of both quantitative (numbers) and qualitative (words) approaches to address different but related parts or stages of a research question. The other options incorrectly focus on weaknesses or on similar components instead of different components.

  2. Question 2. The mixed-methods design strategy that begins with the collection, analysis, and interpretation of quantitative data, followed by a qualitative phase is known as:
    • a. convergent concurrent strategy
    • b. exploratory sequential strategy
    • c. explanatory sequential strategy
    • d. parallel design

    Correct Answer: c. explanatory sequential strategy

    Rationale: In explanatory sequential designs, the researcher first collects and analyzes quantitative data and then conducts a qualitative phase to help explain or expand on the quantitative findings. Convergent concurrent and parallel designs collect both types of data at the same time, while exploratory sequential starts with qualitative and then moves to quantitative.

  3. Question 3. What mixed-methods design strategy is used when the researcher begins with collection and analysis of qualitative data, followed by collection of quantitative data?
    • a. Convergent concurrent strategy
    • b. Exploratory sequential strategy
    • c. Explanatory sequential strategy
    • d. Parallel design

    Correct Answer: b. Exploratory sequential strategy

    Rationale: Exploratory sequential designs begin with qualitative data collection and analysis, and are used to explore a phenomenon in depth before developing or refining quantitative measures. Convergent concurrent/parallel designs collect qualitative and quantitative data at the same time, and explanatory sequential designs start with quantitative data before a qualitative follow-up.
