D.Discussion/Abstraction
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).

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.
