Importance of Quantitative Research Across Fields

Throughout history, quantitative research has paved the way to finding

meaningful solutions to difficulties. For instance, the development of vaccines to
strengthen our immunity against viruses causing highly communicable diseases like
polio, influenza, chickenpox, and measles to name a few, underwent thorough
experimental trials. You bet, scientists and medical experts all over the world today
are working their best to fast track the development, testing and release of the
vaccine for the Corona Virus Disease of 2019 (Covid-19) as the pandemic has
critically affected the world economy, education, as well as physical and emotional
well-being of people.

The findings of the quantitative study can influence leaders and law-makers’
decisions for crafting and implementing laws for the safety and welfare of the more
significant majority. For example, a community with high cases of Covid-19 positive
patients is mandated by law to be under Enhanced Community Quarantine where
only the most essential businesses can operate. On the other hand, cities with less
or zero case will be under General Community Quarantine where some businesses,
public and private offices are already allowed to operate.

Using quantitative design helps us determine and better understand

relationships between variables or phenomenon crucial to reducing the range of
uncertainty because the mathematics (more of this in the last module) behind
quantitative studies helps us make close estimates of the outcome (dependent
variable) from a given condition/s (independent variable). Most inventions and
innovations are products of quantitative studies.

Education and Behavioral Sciences
Concept Notes

QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH & 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.
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.
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. 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 patterns 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).
Exercise 1. Identification

Objective: To illustrates the importance of quantitative research to
Anthropology, Communication and Psychology

Concept Notes

QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH and ANTHROPOLOGY

Anthropology is a research method of combining qualitative and quantitative
research data. 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 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 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.

QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH and COMMUNICATION

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)

QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH and PSYCHOLOGY

Mertens (2005) says that the dominant paradigms that guided early
psychological research were positivism and its successor, post positivism.
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

Objective: To illustrates the importance of quantitative research to STEM,

Medical Education and Sports Medicine
QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH & SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING, and
MATHEMATICS
Medical practitioners, for example, conduct researches to obtain significant
information about diseases trends and risk factors, results of various health
interventions, patterns of care and health care cost and use. 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 modern 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.
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 learners 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.
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.
