In this globalized era, mixed methods research (MMR) is widely utilized in various social and cultural research fields. However, integrating the qualitative and quantitative data rather than combining findings from both approaches remains a challenge for many researchers. To meet this challenge, Schrauf’s book is timely, as it proposes a new discourse-centered framework (DCF) to combine both types of data effectively.

混合方法：访谈，调查和跨文化比较

在这个全球化时代，混合方法研究（MMR）被广泛应用于各种社会和文化研究领域。然而，对于许多研究人员而言，整合定性和定量数据而不是结合两种方法的发现仍然是一个挑战。为了应对这一挑战，Schrauf的书很及时，因为它提出了一种新的以话语为中心的框架（DCF），可以有效地结合这两种类型的数据。
