“…A hallmark characteristic of mixed methods research is the formation of meta-inferences or conclusions reached by drawing from both strands of the study (Onwuegbuzie & Johnson, 2006). To form metainferences, we relied an analytical framework for the dialectic stance outlined by Cronenberg (2020). First, we reviewed the findings from each group and generated assertions that could potentially be supported by both paradigms.…”

Coaching scholarship (CS) sits at the intersection of multiple paradigms and disciplines. Despite the eclectic nature of the field, most scholars operate only within their preferred paradigm, which limits how coaching is conceptualized and practiced. To address this limitation, we used the dialectic stance to analyze bibliometric records of CS produced between 1970 and 2020 from both an interpretivist and poststructuralist perspective. Using Web of Science, we identified 2,522 coaching articles and organized the bibliometric data into a time-ordered matrix representing five decades of CS: (a) number of publications per year, (b) country of origin, (c) institution, (d) journal, (e) author, and (f) most cited articles. Two research groups analyzed the data concurrently and independently using their respective paradigm. Next, the two groups came together to engage in dialogue and discover areas of convergence and divergence. Through the paradigmatic dialogue, the interpretivist research group realized they were operating in a postpositivist paradigm. Nevertheless, both groups determined CS was heavily influenced by Western societies, sport psychology, and the topic of motivation. The postpositivists highlighted evolutionary trends in CS, while the poststructuralists elucidated relations of power, understudied problems, and the consequences of the dominant knowledge produced.

“…Interpreting evidence that is both confirmatory and contradictory and the complexity it introduces is one of the major challenges of a dialectical approach to mixed methods (Cronenberg, 2020). The failure to recognize or pursue gaps in the data can raise questions about the validity of the conclusions drawn.…”

Leveraging an Integrated Visual Display for Case-Based Analysis in Mixed Method Research

A case-based visual display can serve as method for analysis in mixed method research. This methodological article builds an argument for the role that a matrix, diagram, table, or figure can play when used interactively to generate, elaborate, or confirm analytical insight in a case-based analysis in mixed methods research. The article provides an in-depth exploration of two visual methods: timelining and mapping. Timelining adds dimensionality through investigating a temporal sequence, while a mapping activity can do the same with the understanding of physical locations. Both types of visual displays can enhance validity by providing a way to engage qualitative and quantitative data iteratively and dialectically during analysis. The necessity to pursue dissonance that often arises from integrating qualitative and quantitative results is one signal of the complexity of the examples reviewed. The examples support the argument that a visual display that integrates data from different sources iteratively and dialectically is an analytical strategy unique to mixed methods.

“…Cronenberg (2020) also explored different uses of the term paradigm. She argued that only the dialectical conceptual stance encourages researchers to mix at the abstract paradigmatic level.…”
