Analysing the Role of Triangulation in Research

Essay from the year 2007 in the subject Geography / Earth Science - Physical Georgraphy, Geomorphology, Environmental Studies, University of Leeds (Leeds University Business School), course: MA HRM, language: English, abstract: Research is always conducted to find out solution(s) of a problem. There are so many factors involved in the research process from data collection to result analysis. These factors sometimes distort the result, sometimes influence the findings. But a valid and reliable result is always wanted and widely acceptable. To make the research result bias free, valid and generalised triangulation plays an important role in this area by increasing the rate of certainty and bringing neutrality. It is process of using more than one method, theory, researcher and data collection method & technique to make the research findings more valid, reliable and generalisable.
