How to conduct an integrative mixed methods meta-analysis: A tutorial for the systematic review of quantitative and qualitative evidence.
This article is a guide on how to conduct mixed methods meta-analyses (sometimes called mixed methods systematic reviews, integrative meta-analyses, or integrative meta-syntheses), using an integrative approach. These aggregative methods allow researchers to synthesize qualitative and quantitative findings from a research literature in order to benefit from the strengths of both forms of analysis. The article articulates distinctions in how qualitative and quantitative methodologies work with variation to develop a coherent theoretical basis for their integration. In advancing this methodological approach to integrative mixed methods meta-analysis (IMMMA), I provide rationales for procedural decisions that support methodological integrity and address prior misconceptions that may explain why these methods have not been as commonly used as might be expected. Features of questions and subject matters that lead them to be amenable to this research approach are considered. The steps to conducting an IMMMA then are described, with illustrative examples, and in a manner open to the use of a range of qualitative and quantitative meta-analytic approaches. These steps include the development of research aims, the selection of primary research articles, the generation of units for analysis, and the development of themes and findings. The tutorial provides guidance on how to develop IMMMA findings that have methodological integrity and are based upon the appreciation of the distinctive approaches to modeling variation in quantitative and qualitative methodologies. The article concludes with guidance for report writing and developing principles for practice. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved).
期刊介绍:
Psychological Methods is devoted to the development and dissemination of methods for collecting, analyzing, understanding, and interpreting psychological data. Its purpose is the dissemination of innovations in research design, measurement, methodology, and quantitative and qualitative analysis to the psychological community; its further purpose is to promote effective communication about related substantive and methodological issues. The audience is expected to be diverse and to include those who develop new procedures, those who are responsible for undergraduate and graduate training in design, measurement, and statistics, as well as those who employ those procedures in research.
