摘要

社会科学中的混合方法研究主要用于探索广泛、复杂和多方面的问题,并评估政策和干预措施。在社会科学中,定性和定量方法的整合通常遵循佩尔海实用主义方法-溯因假设形成,然后是演绎和归纳测试/确认-具有有限的理论化性质。本文通过解释混合方法数据与[社会]理论之间的双向互动过程,为社会科学混合方法研究领域做出了贡献,这是一种由批判现实主义-回溯理论支持的多元推理方法。本文进一步说明,与实用主义相比,批判现实主义如何通过追溯理论,为整合定性和定量方法提供了一种更基于认识论和本体论的选择。

Retroductive Theorizing: A Contribution of Critical Realism to Mixed Methods Research
Mixed methods studies in social sciences are predominantly employed to explore broad, complex, and multifaceted issues and to evaluate policies and interventions. The integration of qualitative and quantitative methods in social sciences most often follows the Peircean pragmatic approach—abductive hypothesis formation followed by deductive and inductive testing/confirmation—with limited theorizing properties. This paper contributes to the field of mixed methods research in social sciences by explicating a two-way interaction process between mixed methods data and [social] theory in a pluralistic inferencing approach espoused by critical realism—retroductive theorizing. The paper further illustrates how through retroductive theorizing, critical realism offers a more epistemologically and ontologically grounded alternative for integrating qualitative and quantitative methods compared to pragmatism.

期刊介绍: The Journal of Mixed Methods Research serves as a premiere outlet for ground-breaking and seminal work in the field of mixed methods research. Of primary importance will be building an international and multidisciplinary community of mixed methods researchers. The journal''s scope includes exploring a global terminology and nomenclature for mixed methods research, delineating where mixed methods research may be used most effectively, creating the paradigmatic and philosophical foundations for mixed methods research, illuminating design and procedure issues, and determining the logistics of conducting mixed methods research. JMMR invites articles from a wide variety of international perspectives, including academics and practitioners from psychology, sociology, education, evaluation, health sciences, geography, communication, management, family studies, marketing, social work, and other related disciplines across the social, behavioral, and human sciences.
