Elizabeth G. Creamer, Visual Displays in Qualitative and Mixed Method Research: A Comprehensive Guide, London: Routledge, 2025.
This boundary-spanning textbook explores diverse ways that visual display can advance understanding of complex social phenomenon in applied fields in the social and human sciences. It provides a window into the latest advances in mixed methods research (MMR) by investigating how integrative tables and figures have been creatively adapted in diverse contemporary contexts where qualitative methods are prominent.
展开剩余70%The book affirms that the usefulness of visual displays is not restricted to reporting; it extends to helping investigators conceptualize a research problem, embed quality in research design during planning, advance multi-dimensional sampling, to extend analysis, and as a tool to highlight integration during reporting. Chapters feature examples that demonstrate how different shapes and textual devices that are available through basic word processing software can help an investigator to think more complexly about the multi-dimensionality or temporality of a construct, process, or phenomenon.
Tailored for emerging scholars, this comprehensive resource book will prove useful in seminars and workshops designed to assist students in writing a research proposal. It is it is an invaluable textbook for a new generation of hybrid research methods courses that combine qualitative and mixed methods in the social sciences, education, and healthcare.
这本跨界教科书探索了视觉呈现推进社会科学和人文科学应用领域中复杂社会现象理解的多元途径。该书通过考察整合性表格和图表在质性方法占主导地位的多元当代语境中的创新应用，为混合方法研究（MMR）的最新进展提供了一扇窗口。
本书确认视觉呈现的效用并不局限于报告阶段；它延伸至帮助研究者概念化研究问题、在规划阶段将质量嵌入研究设计、推进多维抽样、拓展分析，并作为在报告过程中突出整合的工具。各章节提供的实例展示了如何通过基础文字处理软件中可用的不同形状和文本设备，帮助研究者对构念、过程或现象的多维性或时间性进行更复杂的思考。
本综合性资源书专为新兴学者量身定制，将在旨在协助学生撰写研究提案的研讨会和工作坊中发挥重要作用。对于结合社会科学、教育和医疗保健领域质性研究与混合方法的新一代混合研究方法课程而言，这是一本不可或缺的教科书。
