Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Triangulation involves both cross-case causal inference and within-case causal mechanism analysis, which is captured under option B. It also does not necessarily rely on a single method, hence option C is incorrect. Triangulation can make use of multiple methods, including qualitative and interpretative approaches, hence option D is correct. Option A is incorrect as methodological shaping refers to the way in which a study is designed and carried out, which is not necessarily the same as triangulation.
