MIXING METHODS IN PSYCHOLOGY: THE INTEGRATION OF QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE METHODS IN...; ED. BY ZAZIE TODD

"Mixing Methods in Psychology looks in detail at the problems involved in attempting to reconcile qualitative and quantitative methods both within and across subjects. All angles of the debate are discussed, covering areas as diverse as health, education, social, clinical and economic psychology. The contributors, who are some of the leading figures in the field, present theoretical and methodological guidance as well as practical examples of how quantitative and qualitative methods can be fruitfully combined. By aiming to bridge the gap between the two methods, this book reveals how each can inform the other to produce more accurate theories and models of human behaviour."

"This text will be essential reading for students and researchers wishing to combine methods, or for anyone who simply wants to gain a more thorough understanding of the debate."--Jacket.
