Mixed Research Methods: Integrating Quantitative and Qualitative Methods

Elsa Lucía Escalante Barrios, José Francisco Molina Azorín, Sergi Fàbregues Feijóo

40,00 € IVA inclusa

This book, edited by Angela Durante, provides a clear and accessible introduction to the principles and tools of mixed methods research, showing how to integrate quantitative and qualitative data to achieve a more comprehensive understanding of research phenomena. From selecting a research design to data collection and analysis, the volume guides readers step by step through the main types of mixed-methods studies (convergent, sequential, and advanced), offering practical examples, diagrams, and operational strategies. Thanks to its practical and up-to-date approach—and to the fact that it is currently the only text available in Italy entirely devoted to this approach—the book provides essential skills for designing robust, transparent research capable of capturing and enhancing the complexity of reality.

“Mixed Research Methods: Integrating Quantitative and Qualitative Methods” is a volume that finally brings to the Italian landscape a methodology that has become central in the social, educational, and health sciences. Written by José Francisco Molina Azorín, Sergi Fàbregues Feijóo, and Elsa Lucía Escalante Barrios, and edited for the Italian edition by Angela Durante, the book stands out as, to date, the only text entirely devoted to mixed methods published in Italian, filling a significant gap in national methodological training.

The text guides readers in discovering an approach that does not merely combine quantitative and qualitative data, but integrates them intentionally and systematically to produce deeper, more nuanced, and more robust knowledge. The preface by Professor Ercole Vellone highlights precisely this transformative value, emphasizing how the volume represents a decisive step toward making a methodology—still relatively unfamiliar in Italy despite its growing international diffusion—more accessible.

Structured in ten chapters with a strong didactic focus, the book accompanies students and researchers through the historical and philosophical foundations of mixed methods, the main design typologies, sampling and analysis strategies, and the techniques of integration—the true core of the approach. Particularly innovative is the section devoted to joint displays, visual tools that facilitate the design, interpretation, and communication of integrated results.

Enriched with examples, diagrams, practical activities, and bibliographic guidance, “Mixed Research Methods” is not merely a technical manual, but a clear and accessible guide to understanding and applying a methodology capable of capturing and enhancing the complexity of real-world phenomena. It is destined to become an essential reference for those in Italy who wish to approach mixed methods research with rigor, awareness, and vision.
