خلاصه	Quantitative-dominant mixed methods meta-inference is an integration procedure in which the researcher draws an overarching conclusion by combining inferences from both quantitative and qualitative strands, while explicitly assigning greater evidential weight to the quantitative results. The qualitative strand serves a supporting, elaborating, or contextualizing role rather than an equal voice in the final interpretation.	The explanatory sequential mixed methods design is a two-phase research approach in which a quantitative study is conducted first, and qualitative data are then collected specifically to help explain or elaborate the initial quantitative results. The quantitative phase carries greater priority; the qualitative phase is purposefully built around the findings — such as surprising results, outliers, or statistically significant relationships — that need deeper interpretation.
