Sample questions
Real questions taken from the Advanced Mixed Research Methods question bank, shown with the working learners see after answering.
Mixed methods research is defined by:
- Collecting, analysing and integrating both quantitative and qualitative data in one study
- Using two questionnaires
- Interviewing twice
- Using two statisticians
Working: The defining feature is intentional integration of both strands to answer the research question.
Identical sampling in mixed methods means:
- The same participants provide both quantitative and qualitative data
- Samples never overlap
- Only one participant is used
- Sampling is random in both strands always
Working: Identical samples support direct comparison of strands for the same individuals.
In mixed methods, an identical sampling relationship means:
- The same participants take part in both quantitative and qualitative strands
- Nobody participates twice
- Samples come from different countries
- Only documents are analysed
Working: Identical samples aid direct comparison across strands; nested, parallel and multilevel relationships are the other options.
