A research design method that would provide greater confidence in the validity of measures when using different methods to measure the same phenomenon involves ______.
A)mixed methods
B)a multitrait-multimethod matrix
C)paradigm wars
D)bivariate analysis

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The multitrait-multimethod matrix involves measuring multiple traits using multiple methods, allowing for comparisons of the validity of each method in measuring each trait. This provides greater confidence in the validity of measures when using different methods to measure the same phenomenon. Mixed methods, paradigm wars, and bivariate analysis do not directly address the issue of validity across multiple methods.
