2. Differentiate Quantitative and Qualitative Research.

 Qualitative research generates “textual data” (non-numerical). Quantitative

research, on the contrary, produces “numerical data” or information that
can be converted into numbers.

 Qualitative research is considered to be particularly suitable for

exploratory research (e.g. during the pilot stage of a research project, for
example). It is primarily used to discover and gain an in-depth
understanding of individual experiences, thoughts, opinions, and trends,
and to dig deeper into the problem at hand.
The data collection toolkit of a qualitative researcher is quite versatile,
ranging from completely unstructured to semi-structured techniques. The
most commonly applied qualitative methods include individual interviews,
group discussions (focus groups), and behavioral observations.
 While quantitative research is all about numbers and figures. It is used to
quantify opinions, attitudes, behaviors, and other defined variables with
the goal to support or refute hypotheses about a specific phenomenon,
and potentially contextualize the results from the study sample in a wider
population (or specific groups).
As quantitative research explicitly specifies what is measured and how it is
measured in order to uncover patterns in – for example – behavior,
motivation, emotion, and cognition, quantitative data collection is
considered to be much more structured than qualitative methods
3. Cite samples of related literature based on a sample research.
