Abstract
Despite great interest in the transformative mixed methods, an example of using vignettes in a multiphase mixed methods interventional study has been lacking. This study investigates the social justice problem of poverty in the context of financial education with Hong Kong early adolescent ethnic minority students. The discussion contributes to the field of mixed methods research by demonstrating the use of a vignette-based methodology as a tool for integration, representation, and utilization of participant voices in a multiphase design. The use of joint displays in the form of Venn diagrams illustrates how interdisciplinary research findings that may reveal multiple aspects of noncohering phenomena can be interpreted through simultaneous visualization of integration and diffraction.
