QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH
Characteristics:
• Researcher clearly defined research questions with greater objectivity.
• Study can be used to generalize concepts more widely, predict future
results, or investigate causal relationships. (Examines cause-effect
relationships.)
• Scientific or experimental approach (Deductive – theory, hypotheses,
analysis, interpretation).
• The data is collected using structured research instruments (e.g. polls,
surveys, questionnaire or by manipulating pre-existing statistical data
using computational techniques) from a large sample sizes that are
representative of the population.
• Numerical results can be displayed in graphs, charts, tables and other
formats that allow for better interpretation.
