How quantitative research related or important to different field of discipline? b. Choose two disciplines enumerated above and explain how quantitative research was used on it.Importance of Quantitative Research in Different Fields People do research to find solutions, even tentative ones, to problems, in order to improve or enhance ways of doing things, to disprove or provide a new hypothesis, or simply to find answers to questions or solutions to problems in daily life. Quantitative research has undeniable impact on the different aspects of society. The findings of a particular quantitative study can influence crucial decisions affecting different organizations and individuals. For instance, companies may use quantitative data in evaluating the effectiveness of certain leadership styles on employee performance. Educators can utilize quantitative research in examining the relationship between the performance of teachers and academic proficiency of students. Quantitative research can also be used to better understand the relationships between environmental phenomena such as carbon emissions and the melting of ice caps. The following are other instances in which quantitative research can contribute to the development of specific fields: Quantitative Research & Accountancy, Business and Management (ABM) Researches can help design a new product or service, figuring out what is needed and ensure the development of product is highly targeted towards demand. Businessmen can also utilize research results to guarantee sufficient distribution of their products and decide where they need to increase their product distribution. Conducting researches can also help a business determine whether now is the proper time to open another branch or whether it needs to apply for a new loan. It may also help a small business decide if a procedure or strategy should be change to meet the requirements of the customer base. Research is important for any organization to remain in the market, The primary function of research in ABM is to correctly determine its customers and their preferences, establish the enterprise in the most feasible location, deliver quality goods and services, analyze what the competitors are doing and find ways on how to continuously satisfy the growing and varied needs of the clients.

It is concerned with exploring connections simultaneously, amidst cultural differences, alternatives and identity. In the contemporary academic, socio- cultural and political climate these concepts have Immense symbolic overtones.Quantitative research is used in Anthropology in many aspects. Like, true experiments may use in studying people provided that you follow certain steps (Berard, 2004). This is to look into the Effects of an intervention in ethnic behavior of a group. In here, you need at least two groups, called the treatment group and the control group. On group gets the intervention and the other group don't. Next, individuals may be randomly assigned, either to the intervention group or to the control group to ensure that the groups are equivalent. Then, the groups are measured on ‘one or more dependent variables; this is called the pre-test. After which, the intervention is introduced. Lastly, the dependent variables are measured again. This is the post test. True in experiments with people in laboratory are also common. Laboratory experiments often produce results that beg to be tested in the natural world by Anthropologists. Aaron and Mills (1959, as cited by Bernard, 2004) demonstrated in a lab experiment that people who go through severe initiation to a group tend to be more positive toward the group than are people who go through a mild initiation. They reasoned that people who go through tough initiation rites put a lot of personal investments into getting into the group. Later, if people see evidence that the group is not what they thought it would be, they are reluctant to admit the fact because of the investments. Sample Study: Barry S.

Quantitative Research and Information and Communication Technology Quantitative research is used to examine the trends and tendencies in the use of information technology. Researchers are often interested in how an understanding of a particular communication phenomenon might generalize to a larger population. For example, researchers can advance questions like “What Effect do punitive behavioral control statements have on a classroom? What communicative behaviors are associated with different stages in romantic relationships? What communicative behaviors are used to respond to co-workers displaying emotional stress? (Allen, Titsworth, Hunt, 2009). Sample Study: Tripathi, M., & Kumar, S. (2014). Use of Online Resources at Jawaharlal Nehru Univeristy: A Quantitative Study. Program, 48 (3), 272-292. Quantitative Research and Sports Medicine Quantitative research is used to analyze how sports may be used as an alternative way of medicating an illness. An example is the research done by University of Eastern Finland which investigated the relationship between mushrooming of fast food chains and obesity, as well as the intervention needed to prevent children’s obesity from reaching serious proportions. The research focused ‘on the children’s physical activity and physical inactivity and the concomitant impact on the children’s amount of adipose tissue (fat mass) and the endurance fitness. The study is used to analyze certain the effect of physical activity in weight control.Sample Study: Jones, J.G., & Hardy, L. (1998). Stress and Cognitive Functioning in Sports.

Quantitative Research and Medical Education Quantitative research in medical education tends to be predominantly observational research based on surveys or correlational studies. The designs test interventions like curriculum, teaching-learning process, or assessment with an experimental group. Either a comparison or controlled group leamers may allow researchers to overcome validity concerns and infer potential cause-effect generalizations. Researchers are using to cope with the emerging trends in recent times. Sample Study: Alberti, H., Randles, H.L., Harding, A., & McKinley, R. K. (2017). Exposure of undergraduates to authentic GP teaching and subsequent entry to GP training: a quantitative study of UK medical schools. British Journal of General Practice, 67(657), 248-6252 Quantitative Research and Behavioral Science Relationship Questions in today’s quantitative trend tend to explore how one behavior exhibited by people is related to other types of behavior. Examples are verbally aggressive behaviors related to physical aggression — that is, when a person has a level of verbally aggressive behavior, does he or she tend to be physically aggressive? Are certain supervisor communication skills related to the emotional experiences of employees? Questions of difference explore how pattems of behavior or perceptions might differ from one group or type of a person to another: Do people with disabilities experience emotional labor differently from those without disabilities? Do women perceive talkativeness (or lack of it) differently form men? Do communication styles differ from one culture to the next? (Alle, Titsworth, Hunt, 2009). When quantitative researchers explore questions of differences or questions of relationships, they do so in an attempt to uncover certain patterns of behavior. If the researcher discovers that a certain relationship exists in sample that she or he has drawn form the population, she/he is then in a position to draw generalizations about patterns expected of human behavior.

Quantitative Research in Education Quasi Experiments are most often used in evaluating social problems. Suppose a researcher has invented a technique for improving reading comprehension among third graders. She/he selects two third grade classes in a school district. One of them gets the intervention and the other doesn't. Students are measured before and after the intervention to see whether their reading scores improve. This design containsmany of the elements of true experiment, but the participants are not assigned randomly to the treatment and control groups. Sample Study: Catalano, H., & Catalano, C. (2018).

Positivism is based on rationalistic, empiricist philosophy that originated with Aristotle, Francis Bacon, John Locke, August Comte, and Immanuel Kant. The underlying assumptions of positivism include the belief that the social world can be studied in the same way as the natural world, that there is a method for studying the social world that is value-free, and that explanations of a causal nature can be provided.

The different approaches to research provide complementary insights. Researchers help in determining the effectiveness and even side effect of drugs and therapies in different populations and various institutions. It is also necessary in evaluating experiences in clinical practice in order to develop mechanisms for best practices and to ensure high quality patient care. Researchers in these fields ultimately aim for man’s longevity. As for engineers, architects, and other builders, research helps in providing designs which are creatively beautiful and at the same time give more convenience and efficiency as they utilize modem technology to adapt to the ever changing society. New materials and procedures may be developed so as to further strengthen the structural materials than can withstand various calamities and disasters.
