Qualitative & Quantitative Research Methods PSY 326 Dr. Willow Aureala March 29, 2011 Qualitative & Quantitative Research Methods There are two types of research methods: qualitative and quantitative. Qualitative research methods are complex meaningful analyses characterized by processes and meanings that are not measured in terms of mathematical measurements. Quantitative research however, relies and builds on mathematical procedures and methods, such as frequency, quality, amount

which offers an opportunity to others to better understand the inquiry process and interpret the data in a different way. Therefore, when researchers position themselves as the qualitative research instrument, it is important for them to constantly examine their subjectivity and challenge their stereotyped ideologies. Qualitative Research Methods In order to increase trustworthiness of the research findings, researchers often consider combining different data collection methods. For example, triangulation

employ a number of research methodologies to carry out, test, analyze and describe phenomena they are interested in studying. Among the most widely used methodologies are quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-method (Cozby & Bates, 2012, Garza & Landrum, 2015; Leedy & Ormrod, 2013; Creswell, 2013; Gergen, 2015). Qualitative and quantitative research designs, for example, are types of research approaches that provide clear directions on how to carry out a research plan (Creswell, 2013). The quantitative

Qualitative Research in the Real World All research is meant to fulfill specific purposes, research a problem, or expand the knowledge of those interested. Qualitative research is no different in the same aspect, but goes about the processes in a different way of the quantitative quality. As presented by Plano Clark and Creswell (2010) qualitative data is much broader and focuses on the view of contributors in a greater widesweeping generalization. Applying such to the research article of Mutale

Executive Summary This paper compares and contrasts three different approaches utilised in research on technology: quantitative, qualitative, and mixed research. A description of these three approaches is followed by a discussion of how the components of these three approaches differ. Philosophical assumptions, methods/types, purposes/goals, and data analysis are examined. In order to enhance the understanding of these different approaches, six mobile technology research projects are discussed with

world works; 7) Research requires the collection and interpretation of data in attempting to resolve the problem that initiated the research (Leedy & Ormrod, 2009). While requirements of research may vary between disciplines, and some may prefer qualitative or quantitative methodologies, multidisciplinary research within the medical field should follow at least six basic guidelines in order to be robust: 1) Contribute to theoretical development; 2) Be based on empirical data, on observation of some

Qualitative research aims to comprehend the meaning of human action and investigates phenomenon as it occurs in its natural context through subjective means of inquiry (Carter & Little, 2001 & Hoft, 2011). This paper sets out to identify four features of research as they apply to qualitative research: ontology, epistemology, methodology, and sampling, through the investigation of the article "The health-care environment on a locked psychiatric ward: An ethnographic study" (Johansson, Skarsater &

Qualitative and Quantitative Research Ravi Teja Mora Dr. Jimi Peters Research Methods Stratford University   Qualitative and Quantitative Research Introduction There has been a widespread of debate in recent years regarding the quantitative and qualitative research methods, wether one or the other has to be emerged as superior. Although there have been so many theories and conclusions, this paper intends to discuss on the similarities and differences between the qualitative and quantitative research

as the reader discover meaning. The qualitative research sets itself in the midst of an individuals or groups of objects or “stuff” to capture an overview of logical or explicit rules by an understanding of isolated themes about the themes (Miles, & Huberman, 1994). Qualitative research and analysis are conducted by using completed verses comprised of descriptive words to depict patterns, analyze, compare, or even contrast behaviors and or actions. Qualitative analysis equates to data simplification
