Research Questions in Mixed Methods Research

Abstract

Abstract The goal of this entry is to present procedural guidelines applicable for writing research questions in integrative mixed methods research (IMMR). This entry introduces the topic by a discussion of selective features of IMMR questions that signify their contribution toward expanding researchers' options in design. Next, types of research questions applicable for designing confirmatory, exploratory, and IMMR are outlined. This entry concludes with a presentation of an empirical example of phrasing of IMMR questions in practice.
