 Research
 Quantitative research
 Characteristics of Quantitative
research
Objectives:
1. Identify and describes the
strengths and weaknesses of
quantitative research.
Strengths of Quantitative Research
1. Quantitative Research allows you to
reach a higher sample size. This leads
to an easier way to reach an accurate
generalized conclusion. The additional
data gives you greater creditability because
it has more depth to review
Strengths of Quantitative Research
2. You can collect more information quickly
when using quantitative
research. Experiments, surveys and, interviews
provide immediate answers
that become useful from a data-centered
approach.
Strengths of Quantitative Research
3. Quantitative Research uses randomized
samples in collecting information.
This excludes bias from appearing in most
situations. It provides an advantage
in the fact that the data can then get the rest of
the demographic being
studied.
Strengths of Quantitative Research
4. Results duplication is possible.
Quantitative research only focuses on the
actual data. The work validates itself because
the results always point towards
the same data even though randomized
conditions exist.
Strengths of Quantitative Research
5. Quantitative research can focus on
facts or a series of information.
Researchers can use a quantitative
approach to focus on a specific fact that
they want to study in a given
population.
Strengths of Quantitative Research
6. Quantitative approach does not require
direct observation. This study can be done
without the need for someone. This
advantage creates a better response rate
because people have more time and less
pressure to complete the work.
Weaknesses of Quantitative Research
1. This method does not consider the
meaning behind social phenomenon.
It does not care about the motives that
people have when sharing an opinion
or making decisions.
Weaknesses of Quantitative Research
2. Quantitative research studies can
be very expensive. The money that
could be spent is a significant
barrier to consider in conducting
quantitative research.
Weaknesses of Quantitative Research
3. There is no access to specific
feedback in quantitative research. The
statistics that researchers gather are
useful for generalization but could not
produce specific feedback incidents that
allow positive refinement.
Weaknesses of Quantitative Research
4. Some efforts at randomization will not
create usable information.
Quantitative approach doesn’t look for
the reason why variables exist in
specific environments.
Weaknesses of Quantitative Research
5. Quantitative research requires
a large sample that makes it
difficult to gather data and
makes this kind of research
costly.
