Advantage of Qualitative Research
• Participants can provide a deeper, more detailed, and specific answers to the questions.

Advantage of Quantitative Research
Number of participants is smaller.
Disadvantage of Qualitative Research
Narrative findings from a small number of participants are not generalizable for the whole population.
