Mixed Methods Longitudinal Research

Mixed-Methods-Längsschnittforschung

Abstract

Qualitative und quantitative Längsschnittforschung können im Rahmen eines Mixed-Methods-Designs kombiniert werden, um komplementäre, validere und nuanciertere Erkenntnisse zu erzielen.

Längsschnittforschung ist vielversprechend für die Erforschung von Stabilität und Wandel. Qualitative und quantitative Längsschnittforschung können im Rahmen eines Mixed-Methods-Designs kombiniert werden, um komplementäre, validere und nuanciertere Erkenntnisse zu erzielen. Aber Längsschnittforschung ist anspruchsvoller als Querschnittforschung, und die Kombination qualitativer und quantitativer Strategien in der Mixed-Methods-Längsschnittforschung (MMLR) vervielfacht diese Herausforderungen. Ich beginne diesen Beitrag damit, qualitative und quantitative Längsschnittforschung mit den jeweiligen Stärken und Herausforderungen zu konzeptualisieren. Dann skizziere ich Designoptionen und Implikationen für MMLR. Dabei beziehe ich mich auf traditionelle Designoptionen in Mixed Methods und Längsschnittforschung, z.B. Zeit und Zeitlichkeit, Priorität, Zweck, Stichprobenziehung, Datenerhebung, Auswertung, Interpretation und Präsentation. In MMLR haben diese Designdimensionen einen erweiterten Zeithorizont, weil sie in jeder Welle getroffen oder revidiert werden müssen/können. So möchte ich mit diesem Beitrag die Konzeptualisierung eines vielversprechende,n aber oft vernachlässigten Forschungsgebiets bereichern.... view less

Longitudinal research holds great promise for researching change and continuity. Qualitative and quantitative longitudinal research can be combined within a mixed methods framework, which enables gaining complementary insights that are more nuanced and more valid. However, longitudinal research generally entails more practical challenges than cross-sectional research. Further, combining qualitative and quantitative strategies in mixed methods longitudinal research (MMLR) multiplies these challenges. In this publication, I start by conceptualizing qualitative and quantitative longitudinal research and highlighting their respective strengths and challenges. I subsequently outline design options and implications of mixed methods longitudinal projects. Hereby, I distinguish traditional dimensions of mixed methods and longitudinal research designs, such as time and timing, priority, purpose, sampling, data collection, analysis and interpretation, and reporting. In MMLR these dimensions have an extended time dimension because these design decisions have to be made or revisited in each wave. With this contribution, I aim to advance conceptual thinking in an area of research that is certainly underdeveloped, but has great potential.... view less
