quantative research
Research deisgn in which the data produced are numerical
Qualatative methodology (2)
What it is and diff in quantative
- reasearch design in which data are more open ended and data are not nessarily numerical
- Avoid dualistic thinking (right or wrong, support or not as in quantatative) as they are more open ended with possible right ans
How are qualitative data collected? (3)
participant obersvation
In depth interviews
focus groups
Multi method analysis

qualattative and quantative approach in northern light on how calm they feel:
- Quantative: rate 1-10

Commonalities in Qualitative theory
- Commonly answers why and how questions not easy to answer with quantative methods
- aim to understand the holistic context: ppl building off one another in focus groups
- ## guide exploratory way: in research area that us so unknown we dont know what we need to ask
Qualatative design often use smaller —- and the downside is the it often has lower —-
samples
external validity
Probes
follow up questions
A quasi experiment is conducted when— instead groups are formed based on
random assignment is not possible, a pre-existing variable of interest
Ex-post facto
Groups already formed
One group post test only design (2)
ex: behavioural ramification of 911 attack
- only one measurement (no control group)
The most simple form of quasi-experimentation is the
one-group post-test-only design.
One group pre test post test design (2)
the researcher measures behavior prior to the occurrence of an event and examines the behavior again after the event has occurred.
- no control group
Non equivalent control group post test only design
control group- no exposure
both: no pretest
pre test/post test non-equavalent control group design
PTSD pre test and post test from deployed and non deployed group
- can compare change in outcomes bwtn 2 groups
case control quasi experiemental deasign
