Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Triangulation refers to the use of multiple methods or sources to achieve a comprehensive understanding of a particular phenomenon. In this case, Dr. Ingram is studying car shows and wants to gather data from multiple sources (such as participant observation and interviews) in order to gain a more nuanced understanding of the subject. Therefore, choice B is the correct answer. Choice A is incorrect because a sample size of three would likely not be sufficient for a comprehensive analysis. Choice C is incorrect because while intersectionality may be relevant to the study of car shows, it is not specifically related to the use of triangulation as a research method. Choice D is also incorrect because while interdisciplinary input may be valuable, it is not directly related to the concept of triangulation.
