The Handbook provides both philosophical and practical foundations for using mixed methods in social science inquiry. Theory about mixing methods is nicely balanced and illustrated with concrete examples. All aspects of inquiry are covered from conceptualizing research to selecting methods, analyzing and interpreting data, and reporting findings. The Handbook offers the most comprehensive review of mixed methods available anywhere. It will be a definitive reference for a long time to come." "The Handbook contains a nice mix of internationally-recognized researchers as well as some whose names I saw for the first time . . . I think this mixture lends the book strength as it provides a diversity of perspectives." --GERALD K. LETENDRE, Penn State University The Handbook of Mixed Methods in Social & Behavioral Research contains a gold mine of articles by leading scholars on what has come to be known as the third methodological movement in social research. Aimed at surveying the differing viewpoints and disciplinary approaches of mixed methods, this breakthrough book examines mixed methods from the research enterprise to paradigmatic issues to application. The book also discusses the strengths and weaknesses of mixed methods designs, and provides an array of specific examples in a variety of disciplines, from psychology to nursing. The book closes with a brief section on how to teach and perform collaborative research using a mixed methods research design. Written so that it can be used either as a pedagogical tool or as a reference for researchers, the book is rich in examples and includes a glossary, easy-to-follow diagrams, and tables to help readers become more familiar with the language and controversies in this evolving area. "The contributors to this handbook have a broad range of expertise in the area of mixed methods research. They offer broad and diverse points of view on the topic of multi-methods research and offer engaging and controversial points of

Veel van onze beslissingen worden gestuurd door verwachtingen over de toekomst. Of je nu beleidsmaker bent, op de beurs handelt, een product wilt lanceren of een carrièreswitch overweegt, je doet voorspellingen. Het probleem is: we zijn niet erg goed in voorspellen.Hoogleraar psychologie Philip Tetlock kwam na jarenlang onderzoek tot de schokkende ontdekking dat de gemiddelde futuroloog maar een fractie beter presteert dan een aap die een pijltje gooit. Tetlocks laatste project (een ongeëvenaard voorspellingstoernooi met ruim een miljoen grote en kleine voorspellingen) toont aan dat er echter weldegelijk mensen zijn die het bij het juiste eind blijken te hebben maar juist niet de experts. Het zijn gewone mensen die in staat bleken om juiste voorspellingen te doen, soms wel 60% preciezer dan gemiddeld. Zij zijn de supervoorspellers.In dit baanbrekende boek laten Philip Tetlock en Dan Gardner zien wat we van hen kunnen leren. Een paar suggesties: veel informatiebronnen gebruiken, denken in waarschijnlijkheden, goed luisteren naar anderen en bereid zijn om terug te komen op een eerdere uitspraak. De auteurs leveren hiermee de eerste aantoonbaar effectieve methode om beter te voorspellen voor ondernemers, analisten, beleidsmakers en iedereen die meer grip op zijn leven wil krijgen.Bron : http://www.businesscontact.nl

Process-tracing in social science is a method for studying causal mechanisms linking causes with outcomes. This enables the researcher to make strong inferences about how a cause (or set of causes) contributes to producing an outcome. In this extensively revised and updated edition, Derek Beach and Rasmus Brun Pedersen introduce a refined definition of process-tracing, differentiating it into four distinct variants and explaining the applications and limitations of each. The authors develop the underlying logic of process-tracing, including how one should understand causal mechanisms and how Bayesian logic enables strong within-case inferences. They provide instructions for identifying the variant of process-tracing most appropriate for the research question at hand and a set of guidelines for each stage of the research process.(https://www.press.umich.edu/10072208/process_tracing_methods)
