Postpositivism recognizes that all research is flawed and complex, and therefore dichotomous conclusions are not possible. Positivism, on the other hand, believes in objective truth and the possibility of arriving at definitive conclusions. Constructivism emphasizes subjective meaning-making by individuals and the importance of context, while critical theory focuses on power and social structures. None of these paradigms specifically address the issue of dichotomous conclusions in research.
