IMPORTANCE OF QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH ACROSS 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. Research findings can affect people’s lives, ways of doing things, laws,
rules and regulations, as well as policies, among others. Widely, quantitative research
is often used because of its emphasis on proof rather than discovery.
In recent times, research studies are gaining an unprecedented focus and
attention. Then, only the faculty in higher education has so much interest and con-
duct researchers, but now even the teachers in the basic education are en-
grossed in researches and devote time and effort in conducting researches to im-
prove educational practices that may lead to more quality learning of the students.
Many teachers do action researches because there is a serious need to identify
the problems of the deteriorating quality of education. By doing so, they can ad-
dress systematically and make educational decisions regarding the problems
met. Innovative teaching strategies are product of research.
In the natural and social sciences, quantitative research is the systematic, em-
pirical investigation of observable phenomena via statistical, mathematical or
computational techniques. The objective of quantitative research is to develop
and employ mathematical models, theories and/or hypotheses pertaining to
phenomena. The process of measurement is central to quantitative research
because it provides the fundamental connection between empirical observation
and mathematical expression of quantitative relationships.
Health Sciences (Medical Technology, Dentistry, Nursing, Medicine, etc.) use
quantitative research designs like descriptive, pre-experimental, quasi-experimental,
true-experiment, case study, among others.
QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH & ACCOUNTING, 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 de-
mand. Businessmen can also utilize research results to guarantee sufficient dis-
tribution of their products and decide where they need to increase their prod-
uct distribution. Conducting researches can also help a business determine
whether now is the proper time to open another branch or whether it needs to ap-
ply for a new loan. It may also help a small business decide if a procedure or strat-
egy 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 ser-
vices, analyze what the competitors are doing and find ways on how to continu-
ously satisfy the growing and varied needs of the clients.

IMPORTANCE OF QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH ACROSS FIELDS

neQUANTITATIVE RESEARCH and ANTHROPOLOGY

Anthropology is a research method of combining qualitative and quantita-

tive research data. It is concerned with exploring connections simultaneously,
amidst cultural differences, alternatives and identity. In the contemporary aca-
demic, socio-cultural and political climate these concepts have immense symbolic
overtones.
Quantitative research is use in Anthropology in many aspects. Like, true
experiments may use in studying people provided that you follow certain steps
(Bernard, 2004). This is to look into the Effects of an intervention in ethnic behav-
ior 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. Af-
ter which, the intervention is introduced. Lastly, the dependent variables are
measured again. This is the post test.

sQUANTITATIVE RESEARCH and COMMUNICATION

Researchers are often interested in how an understanding of a par-

ticular communication phenomenon might generalize to a larger population. For
example, researchers can advance questions like “What Effect do punitive be-
havioral control statements have on a classroom? What communicative be-
haviors are associated with different stages in romantic relationships? What com-
municative behaviors are used to respond to co-workers displaying emotional
stress? (Allen, Titsworth, Hunt, 2009)

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 mush-
rooming of fast food chains and obesity, as well as the intervention needed to pre-
vent children’s obesity from reaching serious proportions. The research focused
on the children’s physical activity and physical inactivity and the concomitant im-
pact 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.

nesQUANTITATIVE 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 learners may al-
low researchers to overcome validity concerns and infer potential cause-effect
generalizations. Researchers are using to cope with the emerging trends in
recent times.

QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH and BEHAVIORAL SCIENCES

Relationship Questions in today’s quantitative trend tend to explore how
one behavior exhibited by people is related to other types of behavior. Exam-
ples 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 relat-
ed to the emotional experiences of employees?
Questions of difference explore how patterns of behavior or perceptions
might differ from one group or type of a person to another: Do people with disa-
bilities experience emotional labor differently from those without disabilities? Do
women perceive talkativeness (or lack of it) differently form men? Do communi-
cation styles differ from one culture to the next? (Alle, Titsworth, Hunt, 2009).
When quantitative researchers explore questions of differences or ques-
tions of relationships, they do so in an attempt to uncover certain patterns of be-
havior. 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 compre-
hension 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.

nesses of Quantitative Research

QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH and PSYCHOLOGY
Mertens (2005) says that the dominant paradigms that guided early psy-
chological research were positivism and its successor, post positivism. Positivism
is based on rationalistic, empiricist philosophy that originated with Aristotle, Fran-
cis Bacon, John Locke, August Comte, and Immanuel Kant. the underlying as-
sumptions 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 provid-
ed.

QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH & SCIENCE,TECHNOLOGY,

ENGINEERING, and MATHEMATICS
Medical practitioners, for example, conduct researches to obtain signifi-
cant information about diseases trends and risk factors, results of various health
interventions, patterns of care and health care cost and use. The different ap-
proaches to research provide complementary insights. Researchers help in de-
termining the effectiveness and even side effect of drugs and therapies in differ-
ent populations and various institutions. It is also necessary in evaluating experi-
ences in clinical practice in order to develop mechanisms for best practices
and to ensure high quality patient care. Researchers in these fields ultimate-
ly 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 modern technology to adapt to the ev-
er changing society. New materials and procedures may be developed so as to
further strengthen the structural materials than can withstand various calami-
ties and disasters.
