A research philosophy (or general approach) may encompass or permit the pursuit of a number of different paradigms. Alternatively, a research paradigm may encompass a choice of different philosophical options. Or "paradigm" and "philosophy" might be used interchangeably. There is no one correct answer to your question. The important thing is to be clear, consistent, and transparent in your description of how you are conceiving these labels and of what falls under them.
