A Comparative Account of Qualitative and Quantitative Research


DOI:Coming soon...

Abstract:

Quantitative research is concerned with establishing the cause and effect relationship but qualitative research is more concerned with understanding the social phenomenon from the participant’s perspectives. In other words we can say that, qualitative research is concerned with the opinions, experiences and feelings of individuals producing subjective data. Whereas quantitative researchers seek causal determination, prediction and generalization of findings, qualitative researchers seek instead illumination, understanding and extrapolation to similar situations. Qualitative and quantitative research differ in many ways but they complement each other as well Researchers who use one type of research alone do not always communicate well with those using the other, but the languages and orientations of the styles are mutually intelligible.
