Contents:

A foundation for integrated analysis -- Mixed methods in context -- Planning for analysis -- Interpreting data -- Integrative analysis strategies -- Sequential integration: Analysis guiding design and further analysis -- Complementary analysis of varied data sources -- Analysing linked data: Seeking patterns and contrasts -- From codes and counts to content analysis and 'big data' -- Integration through data transformation 1: Qualitative data to statistical variables -- Integration through data transformation 2: Exploratory, blended, and narrative approaches -- Inherently mixed, hybrid methods -- Exploring dissonance and divergence -- From integrative analyses to warranted assertions and a coherent, negotiated account

Summary: Integrating Analyses for Mixed Methods Research goes beyond mixed methods research design and data collection, providing a pragmatic discussion of the challenges of effectively integrating data to facilitate a more comprehensive and rigorous level of analysis. Showcasing a range of strategies for integrating different sources and forms of data as well as different approaches in analysis, readers learn to plan, conduct, and disseminate complex analyses with confidence. Key techniques include: Building an integrative framework Analyzing sequential, complementary and comparative data Identifying patterns and contrasts in linked data Categorizing, counting, and blending mixed data Managing dissonance and divergence Transforming analysis into warranted assertions With clear steps that can be tailored to any project, this book is perfect for students and researchers undertaking their own mixed methods research.
