Characteristics of Quantitative Research
1. Objective
2. Structured Research Instrument
3. Numerical Data and Larger Sample Size
4. Data is presented with the use of tables
and figures
5. Test theories or hypothesis
6. Uses statistics to generalize a finding

Strengths:
1. It allows the researcher to measure and
analyze the data to arrive at an objective
answer to the problem stated.
2. The result is reliable.
3. Standards are used in choosing instruments,
sampling procedures, and statistical treatment.
4. Personal biases can be avoided.
5. Processes involved are simplified.
6. Results can be reduced through statistical
treatments and interpreted in a few sentences.

Weaknesses:
1. Researchers need to spend more
resources.
2. Results are limited.
3. Preset or fixed alternative answers may
not necessarily reflect the true answers
of the participants.
4. Requires extensive statistical analysis.
5. Research is inflexible.
