"Although quantitatively based research findings are more easily 
generalizable to a larger population, and are more easily replicated, 
quantitative designs do not provide the in-depth understandings of 
individual experiences achieved using qualitative 
methods.  Well-designed qualitative research provides researchers 
with the opportunity to consider individual experience as well as 
social and physical context.  Increasingly, the richness of mixed or 
integrated method approaches is recognized and rewarded in the research world."

Alison Tracy, The Methods Behind Passionate Science, Research & 
Action Report, Wellesley Centers for Women, Spring/Summer 2006
