4.3 Methodology & methods

The study utilised a mixed-method approach adopting qualitative and quantitative measurements in a non-experimental cross-sectional web-based survey, based on an emancipatory methodology in which the research team wished to foreground LGBTQ+ parents’ views on their own experiences and needs – rather than institutional views for example. A mix of qualitative and quantitative data has the potential to provide stronger results by drawing on the strengths of each (Creswell & Garrett, 2008) and is endorsed within positive psychological lenses (Vaughan & Rodriguez, 2014). Quantitative techniques were used to measure various characteristics of individuals and school Microsystems, complemented by qualitative techniques to explore the perceived benefits and positive experiences LGBTQ+ parents derive from different characteristics within school Microsystems. Thus, the inclusion of a mixed-method approach enabled a holistic view of Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Theory of Development.
