Σύνοψη	The qualitative-dominant mixed methods matrix is a design variant in which the researcher selects and positions a specific mixed methods design within a typological matrix — organized by timing (sequential vs. concurrent) and paradigm weighting — while assigning greater priority to the qualitative strand. Quantitative data play a supporting, supplementary role, and the final inferences are grounded primarily in qualitative findings.	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.
