Abstract	After the terms "qualitative research" and "quantitative research" are defined, this paper considers why it makes sense to integrate these approaches, at least under some circumstances. This discussion necessitates attention to the issue of whether quantitative and qualitative research are inextricably linked to incompatible paradigms, or whether they share enough basic assumptions to make their joint utilization possible and productive. Next, the paper explores the issue of why research on ethnic identity and intergroup relations is especially likely to profit from greater utilization of basically qualitative approaches. Finally, when and how such qualitative research could fruitfully employ quantitative components are analyzed. (BW)
