Abstract

The aim of this methodological commentary with a research component is to promote informed uses of mixed methods in psychological research. We used a concurrent mixed methods research design to compare the insights gained about the use of mixed methods in psychological research from two quantitative prevalence studies with information gleaned from a qualitative, meta-synthesis of data supplied in 11 articles and chapters that reviewed its uses in psychological research. It is likely that the dispersion of the examples across diverse publishing venues obscures any sense that it is a mainstream methodology in psychology.
