Use of a concrete example that is woven across multiple chapters provides a thread of continuity that allows readers to follow the step-by-step process for understanding the method. A guiding heuristic helps orient the reader at the beginning of each chapter to understand where they are in the process of conducting an analysis. Analytic checklists easily summarize the analytic process described in the chapter and serve as a reference. Practice exercises provide essential practice and reinforce key concepts. Helpful summaries and key points succinctly summarize main points of each chapter.
Examples of Mixed Methods Approaches Using QCA
Examples of Mixed Methods Approaches Using QCA
Learning Objectives
- Explain how QCA can be used as part of a mixed methods approach.
- Describe an example of how QCA can be positioned within a convergent mixed methods research design.
- Describe and example of how QCA can be positioned within a sequential mixed methods research design.
In previous chapters, we described how to conduct a qualitative comparative analysis (QCA), and we provided a hypothetical example and examples from the literature. This chapter further discusses the role of QCA within mixed methods approaches and details two examples of how study teams used QCA in the context of their mixed methods research. QCA works best when part of mixed methods studies. Qualitative and quantitative data can support the condition development and calibration. ...
