Inductive/Deductive Hybrid Thematic Analysis in Mixed Methods Research

Inductive/deductive hybrid thematic analysis offers significant opportunities for researchers, but its application within integrative mixed methods research has yet to be fully explored. Firstly, this article contributes by demonstrating the compatibility of inductive/deductive with quantitative work in a approach research. Secondly, then innovates highlighting value critical realist meta-theoretical perspective. Here, concepts abduction and retroduction are crucial, both terms facilitating convergence generation new theory. This will relevance researchers interested integrating coherent enabling philosophical paradigm.
