Building theoretical insight through joint displays in mixed methods research.

This methodological article expands the conversation about the contribution of joint displays in theoretically driven mixed method research in psychological fields. The author makes a distinction between basic displays that align qualitative and quantitative data or findings side-by-side from more dynamic displays that are used as analytical tools. Highlighting three examples, the article illustrates the contribution of three types of joint displays to advancing theoretical insight: an integrated results display, a theory to design display, and a theory to finding display. The examples featured demonstrate that joint displays can be complex without necessarily being messy. Implications for mixed methods research and practical suggestions for enhancing joint displays are discussed. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved).
