Quantitative-Dominant Concurrent Triangulation Mixed Methods Design
The quantitative-dominant concurrent triangulation mixed methods design collects quantitative (QUAN) and qualitative (qual) data simultaneously, with quantitative data carrying the primary weight. The two strands are analyzed independently and then compared or merged to triangulate findings, with the smaller qualitative strand serving to corroborate, elaborate, or nuance the quantitative results. The explicit QUAN priority means that the research questions, sampling logic, and conclusions are primarily anchored in the quantitative component.
