Strengths of Quantitative
Click to edit Master title style

Research
• It can be replicated or repeated in other contexts.
• It provides findings that are generalizable to a large
population.
• It can establish causality more conclusively.
• It can make predictions based on numerical,
quantifiable data.
1212
Strengths of Quantitative
Click to edit Master title style

Research
• Data analysis using statistical software is faster.
• Data gathering technique are typically less
demanding compared with those in qualitative
research.
• It has low degree of subjectivity.
• Its validity and reliability can be measured.
1313
Weaknesses of Quantitative
Click to edit Master title style

Research
• It cannot adequately provide in – depth information
necessary for describing and explaining a complex
phenomenon.
• It lacks the ability to provide a comprehensive textual
description of human experiences.
• Numerical data may be insufficient in analyzing intangible
factors, such as gender roles, socio – economic status,
and social norms of a given population. 1414
Weaknesses of Quantitative
Click to edit Master title style

Research
• It has less flexibility in terms of study design.
• Responses of participants are strictly limited to what has
been asked. There responses may not be extensive in
some cases.
• Self – reported data may not be very accurate as
respondents may have the tendency to underestimate or
overestimate their skills and behavior during self –
assessment tasks. 1515
