本文探讨了混合方法健康科学研究团队的群体动力学。作者将混合方法研究团队概念化为“代表性团体”，其中成员将他们的组织和专业团体（例如：例如，在一个实施例中，组织联系、方法学专门知识）及其身份群体（如性别或种族）对研究工作的影响。虽然多样性和互补性是混合方法团队所固有的，但这些品质也带来了特殊的挑战。这些挑战包括：（a）处理分歧;（B）信任“他人”;（c）建立一个有意义的团体;（d）处理重大冲突和紧张局势;（e）发挥有效的领导作用。作者描述了这些挑战，并借鉴组间关系理论，提出了指导原则，可能是有用的混合方法健康科学研究团队。
This article explores the group dynamics of mixed methods health sciences research teams. The authors conceptualize mixed methods research teams as "representational groups," in which members bring both their organizational and professional groups (e. g., organizational affiliations, methodological expertise) and their identity groups, such as gender or race, to the work of research. Although diversity and complementarity are intrinsic to mixed methods teams, these qualities also present particular challenges. Such challenges include (a) dealing with differences, (b) trusting the " other," (c) creating a meaningful group, (d) handling essential conflicts and tensions, and (e) enacting effective leadership roles. The authors describe these challenges and, drawing from intergroup relations theory, propose guiding principles that may be useful to mixed methods health sciences research teams.
