Abstract: | In this article, we have merged or intersected two typologies: Greene’s (Res Sch 13(1):93–98, 2006) four-domain typology for
developing a methodological or research paradigm in the social and behavioral sciences and Onwuegbuzie and Johnson’s (Res
Sch 13(1):48–63, 2006) nine-component typology for assessing mixed research legitimation. We argue that merging or interconnecting
these typologies present a framework for assessing legitimation in mixed research. Specifically, we demonstrate how the nine
types of legitimation map onto Greene’s (Res Sch 13(1):93–98, 2006) four methodological domains and illustrate how legitimation
in mixed research, rather than being viewed as a procedure that occurs at a specific step of the mixed research process, is
better conceptualized as a continuous iterative, interactive, and dynamic process. Additionally, in presenting this framework,
we hope to reduce misperceptions that some researchers have voiced about mixed research. |
