INTRODUCTION
What is Quantitative Research?

a type of research that explains phenomena according to

numerical data.
Analyzed by means of mathematically based statistic
methods.
Quantitative Research enables us to map out and
understand the world in which we live.
I. Anthropology
I. Anthropology
What is Anthropology?

Anthropology comes from the Greek word “Anthropos” means

human and “Logos” means to study. So simple meanings of
Anthropology is “To Study Humans bieng OR Study of Man”.

legal and religious belief systems, for example. We compare social
structures, like family dynamics, and study transnational
corporations.
I. Anthropology
What are the Research areas of Anthropology?

• study of human culture

• customs and beliefs in pre- industrial society
• ethnography the intensive long term field work
• understand how institutions developed
I. Anthropology
Types of Anthropology

• Political Anthropology - questioned the assumptions of

global politics
• Medicinal Anthropology - explores different experiences of
medicine and diseases
• Historical Anthropology - to re-evaluate old problems and
apply ethnographic methods to modern people in a rapidly
changing and globalizing world.
I. Anthropology

Anthropology helps you to learn about different cultures and

understand what all rituals do the people of a particular
culture follow. It also helps you to find the similarities and
differences between the two cultures, and the history of
humans are some of the important concepts you get to
learn in Anthropology.
II.Communication
II.Communication
What is Communication?

The ability to interpret or translate complex research

findings into language, format, and context that non experts
understand.
There are communication phenomenon that needs to
understand in which researchers are interested about that
might be generalized to a larger population.
II. Communication
Why is Communication important in Quantitative
Research?

- Researchers benefit from having strong communication

skills because it helps them do their jobs better. They can
avoid the spread of false information and maintain ongoing
funding for their study by ensuring sure the general public is
aware of what they are researching.
II. Communication
How is quantitative research relevant to
communication?

-With the help of statistics and figures, quantitative

research generates objective data that can be presented
simply.
II. Communication
What are the Research Areas of Communication?
• Activism, Communication, and Social Justice.

Researchers use quantitative methods to observe situations
or events that affect people. Quantitative research produces
objective data that can be clearly communicated through
statistics and numbers.
V. Social Science

Quantitative research "is the systematic examination of

social phenomena, using statistical models and
mathematical theories to develop, accumulate, and refine
the scientific knowledge base" ("Quantitative Research,"
2008).
