In this paper, I will outline quantitative and qualitative research methods and provide illustrations in the context of some social issues, which will hopefully offer insight into how each method is properly applied.

They are usually made up of issues or concerns which directly or indirectly affect a person or a certain group of a society and are considered to be problems, controversies or both and are related to moral values, therefore
The research is a technique that includes discovery, study, testing hypothesis, gathering information and explaining phenomenon by using science as a method. The researchers during the exploration, investigation or research usually use different kinds of research methods like qualitative and quantitative methods. Each method depends on the assigned task, discipline, research question, budget and many other factors. For example, in disciplines that are entirely scientific such as chemistry, quantum
Psychological Research Methods: Exploring Qualitative and Quantitative Research In psychology, answers to our questions are not as succinct as in other types of sciences, and the findings essentially depend upon the underlying epistemology used. This essay seeks to define and examine the fields of qualitative and quantitative research. It will address the different epistemologies and methodologies of each paradigm, and aim to give you a brief overview of the two main research methods
These research will be conducted using qualitative method and quantitative method. In-depth interview will be done to identify the factors of unemployment and the way student overcome that situation.

This research project followed a multipronged approach combining both quantitative and qualitative research methods. After addressing the sample size and exclusions, the second section of Part I examines the strengths and shortcomings of the qualitative research methods, including the interviews and the on-site observations of fresh evidence matters. Finally, I hope to demonstrate why it was necessary to turn to the source of the case law to mine the raw data to sustain my working hypotheses.
3.2 Research Methods “Quantitative and Qualitative” were the two principal approaches in psychological research currently (Bavelas, 1998). Quantitative research is concerned with applying statistical approaches to test hypotheses. Statistical methods are to consider as the analysis of data, it normally concerned with “probabilistic model” as a background. (Sibson, 1999), the prominent characteristic of probabilistic model is as the analysis of data was collected, which is considered about “mean,
