CHECKPOINT: Why is quantitative research important across fields? Fields?

Research is conducted to find solutions to pressing problems/issues that are

affecting the society. It is one way of coming up with tentative solutions to problems.
Through research, we can improve our way of life as it is simply to find answers to
questions or solutions in daily life. In natural and social sciences, quantitative research
is the systematic, empirical investigation of observable phenomena via statistical and
mathematical techniques. Below are different fields where quantitative research is
considered important.

 Quantitative Research and Anthropology. Many discoveries in this field like human behavior
in the society, racial conflicts and human evolution have given enormous contributions to the
improvement of human life.
 Quantitative Research and Communication. Researchers are often interested in how an
understanding of a particular communication phenomena might be generalized to a larger
population. Example: What communicative behaviors are used to respond to co-workers
displaying emotional stress?
 Quantitative Research and Medicine. This tends to be predominantly observational research
based on surveys or correlational studies. > Experimental research designs may enhance the
quality of medical education.
 Quantitative Research and Behavioral Science. The output of this research focuses on how
human behavior relates with another people and also the individual differences that may
affect human
 Quantitative Research in Education and Psychology. Many educational principles in
understanding human behavior are the offshoot of this research.
 Quantitative Research in Technical, Vocational & Livelihood. The output of this research
 focuses on how Technical, Vocational & Livelihood programs improve the technical know-
how of the people affecting the development and progress of the society.
