Essay On Mixed Methods Research
Mixed Methods Research (MMR) combines qualitative and quantitative approaches to investigate complex health problems and multidimensional treatment modalities such as DMT. The aim of this presentation is to provide an introduction to the basic concepts of MMR and help participants understand why DMT researchers and therapists should consider using MMR to examine creative processes, individual experiences, and the overall efficacy of DMT. This will include presentation of practical concerns and challenges in conducting MMR, a presentation of research designs and findings from two mixed methods DMT studies, and experiential activities to inspire novel research designs.
With this presentation we aim to inspire students, therapists, and researchers …show more content…
We will relate how philosophical perspectives underlying each method can influence the findings and determinations of research quality. We will also present ethical considerations in research including issues surrounding fair representation and conduct of research respectful to individuals from different cultural, racial, and socio-economic groups. The two presenters will briefly present their own MMR studies with an emphasis on the design and research process, as well as a summary of the main findings.
We will finish with a small group activity in which each group will come up with a MMR question and framework for a design to answer this question using the presented overview of MMR and suggestions of issues to consider from the perspectives of qualitative, quantitative, or mixed methods researchers. Participants will engage in a movement-based role play to further explore this research question and design.
Participants will understand basic concepts and major designs of mixed methods research.
Participants will be able to identify rationale for using mixed methods research in DMT and challenges to designing and conducting mixed methods research.
Participants will create research questions, outline design possibilities, and identify critical topics for consideration in the creation
