    Quantitative vs. Qualitative Research:

    Conversely, a qualitative approach is one in which the inquirer, “often makes knowledge claims based primarily on constructivist perspectives in addition to the use of strategies of inquiry such as narratives, phenomenologies, ethnographies, grounded theory studies or case studies”. (Creswell, 2003, p.18) This would allow much more broad-based, ‘open-ended’ information to be obtained, with the focus being on developing themes from the data.…

    Quantitative Research

    The disparities in the U.S. court system regarding paternity of low-income individuals has extreme effects on whether children would ever know their fathers, but they also lead to men being involuntarily held financially or legally responsible for children they did not biologically father; a burden that has disproportionate negative effects on a man with low-income. Dr. Vincent Miller contends "Nearly 30% of the tested paternity cases in our laboratory result in an exclusion of the "alleged father" presented as the biological father." (2010). The mere allegation of a man’s paternity, results in the U.S. court system entering financially, as well as…

    Critique of Quantitative and Qualitative Studies

    The following paper is a critique of the data collection and data analysis methods used in a quantitative study that examines the effects of crossed legs on blood pressure measurement, and a qualitative study that looks at the experiences of patients during awake craniotomies. The data collection and analysis are the heart and soul of a study and contribute to its reliability. A study that doesn’t have relevant data and conclusions isn’t significant in any way. Polit and Beck (2012) state, that when making conclusions about the studies evidence “it is important to consider whether researchers have taken appropriate steps to collect data that accurately reflect reality” (p. 346). This means that the proper tools for data collection were utilized while using proper methods for the questions to be answered. After data collection, analysis takes place using statistical designs to evaluate hypotheses and simplify data. I will critique these areas in the quantitative and qualitative studies and evaluate areas of strength and weakness.…

    Quantitative and Qualitative Research

    Qualitative research is becoming more widely valued and recognised in the health care research field. The importance of qualitative research was established in the early 20th Century as a form of inquiry for the study of human group life, particularly in the fields of sociology and anthropology. Qualitative research aims to generate further research and theories rather than to verify them. It relies on transforming information from observations, reports and recordings into data into the written word (rather than into numeric data in quantitative research). Qualitative research is useful for finding out information in areas where little information is known, or to study a particular concept in more detail. A qualitative research study usually involves fewer people or events in comparison to a quantitative research study. Qualitative research is about ‘discovery of facts’ and not necessarily hard evidence. Some studies, particularly anthropological studies, are located in a time and place and the findings may not be seen as generalisable but the findings may be transferable.…

    Qualitative and Quantitative Research

    Quantitative research involves collecting numerical data though content analysis, performance tests, personality measures, questionnaires, etc. Quantitative research allows for experimental and non-experimental research. Experimental research tests cause and effect, while non-experimental research, such as, correlation research, relates variables, and survey research describes trends. There are three basic types of quantitative research questions: descriptive research questions, correlational research questions, and causal research questions. However, research involves collecting word data though interviews, open-ended questionnaires, observations, content analysis, focus groups, etc. Qualitative research can explore common experience (Grounded Theory Research), shared culture (Ethnography), an environment (Case Study), or an individual (Narrative Research). Both type of research ask research questions, focus on type of data, and have variables.…
