Convergent analysis involves comparing data from different sources to see if they yield similar results, which is what the researcher is doing by comparing the survey and focus group data. Discriminant analysis, on the other hand, involves determining if different variables are truly measuring different constructs. Qualitative and quantitative refer more to the type of data being analyzed rather than the specific technique used to compare them.
