(2011) describe their rationale for mixing methodological approaches by saying, “Based on the notion of heterogeneity that arose from our initial qualitative analysis, we subsequently tested a set of hypotheses that risk factors would be specific to different types of sexual victimization.” (p. 240) What strength of mixed methods is best represented?
a. generalizability
b. causal validity explained
c. authenticity of findings
d. measurement validity
e. improved external validity
