Despite increases in the use of joint displays, opportunities exist for more creative joint displays that use additional visuals to more easily communicate complex information. These additional visual features include charts, graphs, maps, and images. However, little has been written about their usage within joint displays. The purpose of this methodological article is to advocate the use of joint displays that incorporate graphs, charts, maps images, and other visuals, as appropriate and to discuss the decisions in including these features. To assist in identifying joint displays that include visuals, we conducted a systematic literature search of Google Scholar, PubMed, ERIC, and Academic Search Premier using terms for mixed methods research. After screening articles to identify joint displays that include graphs, charts, maps, images, and other visuals, we analyzed articles (n = 33) for mixed methods features and joint display features. Regarding the quantitative strand in a joint display, charts, and graphs can communicate more information than statistical numbers, such as showing distributions of data, plotting relationships among variables, and using bars of varying lengths to facilitate comparison. Maps and GIS data can similarly relate additional information for the reader, particularly when geographical or spatial area is important to the research. Furthermore, images can be a useful type of qualitative data and is especially relevant in photo-elicitation research. These visuals can be depicted in joint displays to represent integration. Visuals used in joint displays included: column or bar charts, histograms, boxplots, scatter plots, quantitative path models, maps, pictures, and qualitative visual models. We also include four exemplars of joint displays that use visuals. Researchers can use these types of joint displays for integration in psychological intervention research, for theory development in psychology, and for instrument development in educational psychology. We conclude with recommendations for including visuals and suggestions to optimize integration from a mixed methods perspective.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":93338,"journal":{"name":"Methods in Psychology (Online)","volume":"5 ","pages":"Article 100080"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2590260121000370/pdfft?md5=b8ceb462064d88464caf0e998ed3e13c&pid=1-s2.0-S2590260121000370-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48746007","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Further automated data collection and corpus analysis, such as keyness and topic modelling, are presented as a potential innovation within online qualitative research. This approach allowed for the analysis of a larger dataset of 255,891 posts, across 14,232 threads (16,472,006 words), revealing additional themes such as sexual hygiene, desire, legality, and ethnicity, as well as differences in the use of terms of address and slang by punters and sex workers.

One paradigm to answer this question is by applying Likert Scale (LS) to compare the agreements to different alternatives, and the respective LS scores are then transferred into rank order of preference. However, using LS to infer choices is somewhat debatable because the measurement format of LS was not designed for revealing psychological preference. In this article, we examined to what extent it is appropriate to use quantitative indicators derived from LS to infer choices, with which we used the Comparative Judgment (CJ) procedure to represent a direct measurement of choice decision to compare. A total of 929 adolescents reported their effort and ability attributions for academic failure and success using both LS and CJ. We found that while using LS is generally accurate in predicting results obtained via CJ, the percentage of people revealing different choices inferred from LS versus CJ was 14.7% and 12.1% for the success and failure scenarios, respectively, suggesting that inferring psychological preference from LS is not without risk, at least for this sample of adolescents from a culturally-Chinese society. Furthermore, the majority of participants displaying incongruent decisions of achievement attribution via LS and CJ showed equivalent LS scores between effort and ability attributions. A goodness-of-fit test was conducted (on a model motivated by the beta-binomial distribution) and successfully eliminated the possibility that the tied LS scores in effort and ability attributions actually represent participants’ true psychological state.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":93338,"journal":{"name":"Methods in Psychology (Online)","volume":"5 ","pages":"Article 100081"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2590260121000382/pdfft?md5=efd3843b58277cd542ead333efb65d70&pid=1-s2.0-S2590260121000382-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41901580","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Broadly, we situate ourselves in the field of Critical Discursive Psychology (CDP), but the focus of this paper extends to the study of combined semiotic realms, hence we describe our work as Multimodal Critical Discourse Analysis (MCDA). By outlining MCDA and sharing some insight from our own engagement with it, we hope to connect with growing interest amongst qualitative psychologists, and discursive psychologists in particular, to examine discourse beyond <em>just</em> text and talk, and offer a practical example of how to apply MCDA. We begin by briefly outlining discursive psychology and CDP, before introducing MCDA as an analytic method that initially developed in the field of critical linguistics. We reflect on our work in MCDA combining visual and textual modalities to show how this approach can enable exploration of different semiotic forms in a manner that aligns with the ambitions of CDP. We argue that MCDAs novel insights illustrate both a need and value in undertaking discursive psychology of this kind (cf. Byford, 2018). We conclude by emphasising that meaning potentials availed through the visual and textual components of a multimodal discourse are more than the sum of individual components. The combination of modalities fosters a liminal space where meaning potentials expand beyond the additive combination of individual components and are instead rooted in holistic affordances of the multimodal discourse.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":93338,"journal":{"name":"Methods in Psychology (Online)","volume":"5 ","pages":"Article 100071"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.metip.2021.100071","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43795197","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
