Define Triangulation
Triangulation is when sociologists try to combine different methods or data to get the best out of all of them.
1) More valid, detailed picture.
2) Check different sets of data against each other (comparable)
3) Combines strengths and weaknesses.
4) Expensive and time-consuming, not possible to use triangulation - only one viable method to get the data.
