Σύνοψη	A mixed methods design in which quantitative data and analysis carry the primary explanatory weight while a smaller qualitative component provides contextual depth. Grounded in philosophical pragmatism, design decisions — including timing, sequencing, and the scope of each strand — are driven by what best answers the research question rather than by adherence to a single paradigmatic tradition.	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.
