Year: 2016

Type: article

Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to bring attention to an important aspect of mixed methods research design which occurs when the qualitative findings do not match the quantitative findings within a particular study. Different perspectives on this phenomenon attempt to understand and then to resolve such differences. The authors present these various perspectives as well as an example of a study which illustrates the phenomenon in question. Recommendations for resolving differences within the study are given based on the perspectives presented and conclusions are drawn relevant to an analysis founded in the literature.
