Резюме	The sequential exploratory mixed methods design begins with a qualitative phase to explore a poorly understood phenomenon, then builds on those findings in a second quantitative phase — most commonly to develop and test a measurement instrument, or to test whether themes identified qualitatively generalise across a broader population. The two phases are conducted in sequence, with qualitative results explicitly informing the design and content of the quantitative strand.	The concurrent triangulation mixed methods design collects quantitative and qualitative data simultaneously, analyzes each strand independently, and then merges the results to assess whether the two data sources corroborate one another. Often called the convergent parallel design, it is one of the foundational configurations in mixed methods research and is chosen specifically when the researcher wants to cross-validate or triangulate findings from two distinct methodological traditions.
