CONCEPT NOTE #1
CHARACTERISTICS OF QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH
Quantitative Research is an objective, systematic, empirical investigation of the observable
phenomena through the use of computational techniques.

Characteristics of Quantitative Research

1. Objective. Quantitative research seeks accurate measurement and analysis of target concepts.
2. Clearly defined Research Questions. The research questions are well defined for which objective
answers are sought.
3. Structured Research Instruments. Data are normally gathered using structured research tools such
as questionnaires to collect measurable characteristics of the population such as age, socio-economic
status, number of children etc.
4. Numerical Data. Data are in the form of numbers and statistics, often organized and presented using
tables, charts, graphs and figures.
5. Large Sample sizes. This requires a large number of population sizes, depending on how the
characteristics of population vary.
6. Replication. Reliable quantitative research can be repeated to verify and confirm the correctness of
the results in another setting.
7. Future Outcomes. By using complex mathematical calculations and with the aid of computers, if-
then scenarios may be formulated thus predicting future results.
