Abstract
In recent years, the number of studies performed completely within the bounds of the qualitative paradigm of sociology has noticeably increased. The number of publications in which data obtained using qualitative methods are complementary to, and illustrate, quantitative results has also increased. The article shows the risks faced by a sociologist who superficially perceives the general thesis about the compatibility and complementarity of quantitative and qualitative methods. The issue of the mixed methods research is discussed. The article describes frequently encountered “bottlenecks” and errors in publications. It is shown that large resource capabilities of qualitative data provide additional opportunities for substantiation and interpretation of the results of specific studies only if certain methodological requirements and conditions are met.
