Question 6

Which of the following are true statements about the mixed-methods design strategy known as convergent concurrent strategy? Select all that apply.

Accepted Answer

A)  A strategy used when the researcher collects and analyzes quantitative data,and then collects and analyzes qualitative data to explain the quantitative findings. 
B)  It is selected when a researcher wishes to use quantitative and qualitative methods to confirm,cross-validate,or corroborate findings using a single sample or two samples from the same population. 
C)  A strategy used when the researcher collects quantitative and qualitative data at the same time,analyzes each set of data,and integrates the findings. 
D)  It may be used when the researcher wants to expand on what is known about a phenomenon and the researcher does not want the content of the quantitative instruments to bias data collected qualitatively. 
E)  Parallel design is often called exploratory sequential strategy because quantitative and qualitative data collection processes are conducted at the same time.
