    The document compares objective science (quantitative research) and naturalistic inquiry (qualitative research). It outlines that quantitative research aims to objectively study behaviors and events by precisely measuring variables, controlling conditions, and using statistics to find causal explanations. Qualitative research seeks to understand people's subjective experiences by describing their perspectives in natural settings and constructing detailed descriptions of events, with findings specific to the participants rather than generalizing to others.
