    Weaknesses of Quantitative Research

    Uploaded by

    Augusto Dolores Rholu
    Quantitative research has some weaknesses including that it can be costly and time-consuming due to the statistical analysis required, especially for non-mathematicians. The extensive statistical treatment means results need to be rigorously tested and retested to refine any ambiguities, requiring further investment of time and resources. Quantitative methods also tend to only produce proved or unproven results with little room for uncertainty, whereas fields like social sciences, education and psychology often deal with more complex human nature than simple yes or no responses.

     Weaknesses

    1. Quantitative research can be costly, difficult and time-consuming- difficult because most
    researchers are non-mathematicians. '
    2. Quantitative studies require extensive statistical treatment, requiring stringent standards, more
    so with confirmation of results. When ambiguities in some findings surface, retesting and
    refinement of the design call for another investment in time and resources to polish the results.
    3. Quantitative methods also tend to turn out only proved or unproven results, leaving little room
    for uncertainty, or grey areas. For the social sciences, education, anthropology and psychology,
    human nature is a lot more complex than just a simple yes or no response.
