Zusammenfassung	Equal-weight pragmatic mixed methods is a research design in which quantitative and qualitative strands are assigned the same methodological priority (QUAL = QUAN) and conducted from a pragmatist philosophical stance. Rather than privileging one paradigm, the researcher selects and combines methods that best answer the research question — treating practical utility as the primary criterion for all design decisions.	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.
