Developing Mixed Methods Crossover Analysis Approaches

This article alters the framework for conceptualizing and conducting advanced-level mixed analysis approaches to focus on crossover analyses, which might help analysts see the various component steps that can go into crossover analyses and innovate their own forms of crossover work.

Abstract

Onwuegbuzie and Hitchcock (2015) provided an initial framework for conceptualizing and conducting advanced-level mixed analysis approaches. In the present article, we build on these efforts by altering the framework to focus on crossover analyses, which might help analysts see the various component steps that can go into crossover analyses and innovate their own forms of crossover work. In applying the framework, we specify three advanced-level crossover mixed analysis approaches: ethnographic crossover analyses, missing data crossover analyses, and nonverbal communication crossover analyses. The ideas presented here might inspire others to apply these crossover analysis approaches in their own work and/or to use the framework to innovate yet more crossover approaches.
