  • Research Methodology
  • Social Sciences

Background:

  • Historical antagonism between qualitative and quantitative research methods has hindered their combined use.
  • Family therapy researchers increasingly recognize the value of multi-method approaches.
  • Existing literature primarily discusses multi-method approaches without detailed procedural guidance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a bidirectional continuum integrating qualitative and quantitative methods.
  • To illustrate the procedural stages of this continuum using ethnographic content analysis.
  • To discuss challenges and contributions of integrative research methodologies in family therapy.

Main Methods:

  • Proposal of a bidirectional continuum for qualitative and quantitative methods.
