近几十年来，对政治和社会暴力与冲突的研究已经扩大，同时在整个社会科学中使用混合方法研究（MMR）的情况有所增加。本文探讨了如何将方法最好地整合到暴力和冲突的研究中，批判性地回顾了以前著名作品中的例子，并为未来的研究提出了方向。我探讨了MMR在理解与暴力和冲突有关的结构、机构和过程方面的好处，以及MMR为影响更广泛的学术和政策受众提供的机会。MMR可以提高理论和实证研究与社会现实复杂性的一致性，并加强对暴力和冲突的原因、后果和潜在补救措施的理解。
The study of political and social violence and conflict has expanded in recent decades, concurrent with a rise in the use of mixed methods research (MMR) throughout the social sciences. This article examines how methods are best integrated in studies of violence and conflict, critically reviewing examples from previous prominent works and suggesting directions for future research. I explore the benefits of MMR for understanding structures, agency, and processes related to violence and conflict, and the opportunity MMR offers to influence a broader academic and policy audience. MMR can improve the accordance of theories and empirical studies with the complexities of social reality and enhance understanding of the causes, consequences, and potential remedies of violence and conflict.
