Writing up social research
In mixed-methods research, quantitative and qualitative findings should be:
Integrated
Contained in separate sections
Listed in order of importance
Shown fully in appendices
Listed in order of importance
Mixed-methods research is justified on the basis of the research questions, whereby the integration of the two approaches becomes the key point of interest. It follows from this that integrating the findings is the only appropriate course to follow. Examples can be found for answer (b) but do not impress Bryman very much.
