21
Q

Involves observing subjects in their natural setting without manipulation.

A

Observational Research

22
Q

Examines relationships between variables.

A

Correlational Research

23
Q

Uses existing data to investigate past events.

A

Historical Research

24
Q

Focuses on describing characteristics of a phenomenon.

A

Descriptive Research

25
Q

Compares two or more groups on certain variables.

A

Comparative Research

26
Q

The five (5) most common kinds of quantitative research are:

A

  • Correlational
  • Ex post Facto
  • Quasi-Experimental
  • Experimental
27
Q

Goal is to observe and report on a certain phenomenon.

A

Descriptive

28
Q

Goal is to determine the nature of relationship between variables without looking into the cause

A

Correlational

29
Q

Goal is to infer the causes of a phenomenon which has already occurred

A

Ex post Facto

30
Q

Establishes cause-and-effect relationships between variables.

A

Experimental Research

31
Q

Groups exposed to the presumed cause are compared with those who are not exposed to it.

A

Ex post Facto

32
Q

There are six (6) Strengths of Quantitative Research. These include:

A
  • Replicable
  • Generalizable Data
  • More Conclusive in establishing Causal Relationships
  • Objective Data
  • Faster Data Analysis using Statistical Software
  • Typically Less Demanding / Resource-Intensive (VS Quali)
33
Q

There are four (4) Weaknesses of Quantitative Research. These include:

A
  • Limited Depth of the Full Complexity of Human Experiences
  • Less Flexibility in Research Design
  • Restricted Participant Responses
  • Unreliability of Self-reported Data
