多种方法对于将开发理解为一个动态的、事务性的过程至关重要。本文着重探讨如何将定量和定性方法结合起来，以丰富发展科学和人类发展研究，重点是“何时”和“如何”的实际问题。“研究情况，可能特别适合混合定性和定量的方法进行了描述。作者还讨论了在研究设计、抽样、措施或访谈协议的构建、合作以及与发展科学相关的数据分析中使用混合定量-定性方法的潜在选择。最后，他们讨论了一些常见的陷阱，发生在混合这些方法，并包括克服它们的建议。
Multiple methods are vital to understanding development as a dynamic, transactional process. This article focuses on the ways in which quantitative and qualitative methodologies can be combined to enrich developmental science and the study of human development, focusing on the practical questions of "when" and "how." Research situations that may be especially suited to mixing qualitative and quantitative approaches are described. The authors also discuss potential choices for using mixed quantitative-qualitative approaches in study design, sampling, construction of measures or interview protocols, collaborations, and data analysis relevant to developmental science. Finally, they discuss some common pitfalls that occur in mixing these methods and include suggestions for surmounting them.
