This is referred to as: a Development b ‘Double dipping’ c Quantitative research d Confirmation 6 Which of the following about mixed method designs is true? a Researchers require only superficial skills in qualitative and quantitative data collection. b Researcher time and costs are often minimal as lots of data can be collected at once. c Using two data collection methods may increase the magnitude of any inherent errors in a study with a design flaw. d Critical analysis of the validity of mixed methods studies is not as important as it is with purely qualitative or quantitative investigations. 7 Which design is more suitable for the detailed exploration of a problem where little is already known about the problem? a Sequential informative b Sequential explanatory c Sequential exploratory d Embedded 8 A study compared both interview and survey data (collected at the same time) to explore the job satisfaction of hospital nurses working night shifts. This study would be described as using: a Concurrent mixed methods b Sequential quantitative methods c Concurrent quantitative methods d Sequential mixed methods 9 A study to provide a broader perspective of the research problem by adding quantitative data to enrich the descriptions given by participants is an example of which research approach? a Sequential informative b Sequential explanatory c Sequential exploratory d Embedded 10 The integration of data collected in concurrent mixed method studies occurs: a During data collection b During data analysis c During data interpretation d During either data analysis or data interpretation
