Hi. Thank you for the explanation. I have been lost in these theoretical things for quite a long time. You showed the most sensible path out of the long-term confusion.
This is the best-ever explanation on this topic. I'm incredibly grateful. Question: Can you use Critical Realism with Pure Qualitative Research or you must use Mixed Methods? Many thanks in advance.
Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m glad you found the explanation helpful. As for your question, the answer is-it depends. Critical realism is an approach that can be applied to both qualitative and mixed methods research, depending on the nature of your research questions and objectives. If your research is purely qualitative, you can certainly use critical realism to guide your approach. It’s all about how you structure your study, the type of data you collect, and how you interpret your findings. Critical realism allows you to explore the underlying structures and mechanisms that influence the phenomena you’re studying, which can be done effectively with qualitative methods. However, some researchers choose to use mixed methods because it allows them to combine the strengths of both qualitative and quantitative approaches, which can provide a more comprehensive understanding of complex issues. Whether or not you need to use mixed methods will largely depend on what you’re aiming to uncover in your research. Certainly worth discussing with your supervisors.
Finally! An explanation that makes sense.
Thank you, Liz. 😊
I’m so thrilled to read this! Great to hear it helped!
