This will be a discussion post for my doctoral mixed methods research class. You must support your response with peer-reviewed articles, but can also cite any of the provided resources. For this particular assignment, using Tashakkori, A., Johnson, R.B., & Teddlie, C. (2020). Foundations of mixed methods research: Integrating quantitative and qualitative approaches in the social and behavioral sciences (2nd ed.) Sage. (ISBN: 9781506350301), and all other provided resources, respond to the following topic:
What should a researcher do when mixed methods results conflict?
Read: Slonim-Nevo, V. & Nevo, I. (2009). Conflicting findings in mixed methods research: An illustration from an Israeli study on immigration. Journal of Mixed Methods Research, 3(2), 109-128. (Provided in files)
Comment on the noncomplementary versus the complementary approach when findings conflict in social research. Describe what the specific inconsistency in the findings was in this article, and discuss the approach that the authors took to handle this situation.
Also, discuss how you would handle conflicting findings in your own research and how those who are receiving the data might feel about it. (This should be the last two-three paragraphs of the paper)
Textbooks, blogs, magazine or internet articles, book chapters, or special reports, do not count toward the peer-reviewed minimum. Connections to the peer reviewed references should be used throughout your writing with in-text citations and matching reference citations.
For your reference, I am a healthy, white 34-year old female from Kentucky. I am extremely active and spend a lot of time working out and eating healthy food. Also, I am a college professor in the Exercise Science department and own an online fitness and nutrition coaching business.
I have attached the recommended resources to elaborate on the assignment expectations.
