The paper describes the difficulties encountered in trying to combine qualitative and quantitative research methods in a study of the relationship between moral reasoning and teenage drug use.
Four problems that arose in the attempt to reduce qualitative data to a quantitative format are described.
These problems are (1):
making analytic sense of singular response;
(2) a mistaken logical inference that demands that each pattern of judgement should have discrete behavioral indicators;
(3) the construction and use of ideal types;
and (4) making analytical sense of universal responses.
