Підсумок	Qualitative-dominant mixed methods meta-inference is the overarching inference-drawing process in a mixed methods study where qualitative findings carry primary explanatory weight. Meta-inference — the integrated conclusion drawn by combining qualitative and quantitative strands — is anchored to and interpreted through the richer, theoretically foregrounded qualitative findings, with quantitative results serving a supplementary, corroborating, or contextualizing function.	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.
