Quantitative Data Analysis
• Researchers' who have completed quantitative data gathering techniques
will typically have considerable numerical data that require analysis .
• As data are gathered, they are typically disorganised and made up of
separate bits of information. When numbers look this way , the meaning is
not clear
• Statistical analysis of these numbers is a way to focus and manage data.
• Mertler and Charles (2005) identify a number of different purposes for
using statistics. Specifically, statistics can:
Summarise data and reveal what is typical and atypical within a group;
Identify the relative standing of individuals within an identified cohort;
Quantitative Levels of Analysis

• Univariate - simplest form,describe a case in terms of a

single variable.
• Bivariate - subgroup comparisons, describe a case in
terms of two variables simultaneously.
• Multivariate - analysis of two or more variables
simultaneously.
Univariate Analysis
• Unvariare Analysis - The analysis of a single variable, for purposes of
description (examples: frequency distribution, averages, and measures of
dispersion)
Example: Gender
The number of men in a sample/population and the number of women
in a sample population.

Goals:
- Provide reader with the fullest degree of detail regarding the data.
- Present data in a manageable from.
- Simple and straightforward
Bivariate Analysis
• Bivariate Analysis - The analysis of two variables simultaneously, for the
purpose of determine the empirical relationship between them.
Example:
- Gender
- Attitudes toward equality for men and women
- How does a respondent’s gender affect his or her attitude toward
equality for men and women?
Multivariate Analysis
• Multivariate Analysis - The analysis of the simultaneous relationship
among several variables.
• Can be used to understand the relationship between multiple variables
more fully.
