Document Summary
Mixed methods theory use: may be deductive or inductive, may take one of two forms, social science framework, transformative framework. Social science theory use: overarching framework for mixed methods research, theory drawn from theories found within social science research, uses procedures for quantitative theory use in a study. Studying the problem should be beneficial to the participants: disclose the purpose of the study. Develop the purpose statement and how it will be explained to the participants: do not pressure participants into signing consent forms. Participation should be voluntary: respect norms and charters of indigenous cultures, collecting the data, respect the site. Disrupt normal operations as little as possible: make sure all participants receive the benefits, avoid deception of participant, respect potential power imbalances, avoid exploitation of participants, avoid collecting harmful information, analyzing the data, avoid going native. Do not take sides by only reporting results that place the participants in a favorable light: avoid disclosing only positive results.
