  1. What is Quantitative Research?

    Quantitative methods emphasize objective measurements and the statistical, mathematical, or numerical analysis of data collected through polls, questionnaires, and surveys, or by manipulating pre-existing statistical data using computational techniques.Quantitative research focuses on gathering numerical data and generalizing it across groups of people or to explain a particular phenomenon.

  2. What Is Quantitative Research?

    Revised on June 22, 2023. Quantitative research is the process of collecting and analyzing numerical data. It can be used to find patterns and averages, make predictions, test causal relationships, and generalize results to wider populations. Quantitative research is the opposite of qualitative research, which involves collecting and analyzing ...

  4. Quantitative Research

    Quantitative Research. Quantitative research is a type of research that collects and analyzes numerical data to test hypotheses and answer research questions.This research typically involves a large sample size and uses statistical analysis to make inferences about a population based on the data collected.

  5. What Is Quantitative Research?

    Revised on 10 October 2022. Quantitative research is the process of collecting and analysing numerical data. It can be used to find patterns and averages, make predictions, test causal relationships, and generalise results to wider populations. Quantitative research is the opposite of qualitative research, which involves collecting and ...

  6. Quantitative Data

    Quantitative Data Types. There are two main types of quantitative data: discrete and continuous. Discrete data: Discrete data refers to numerical values that can only take on specific, distinct values. This type of data is typically represented as whole numbers and cannot be broken down into smaller units. Examples of discrete data include the ...

  7. Quantitative Research

    Quantitative research as defined in this study uses empirical assessment based on numerical measurements while qualitative methods involve the interpretation of text or other materials without relying on numerical measurement (Zikmund, Babin, Carr, & Griffin, 2013). Within the quantitative methods, survey was the most used data collection process.

  8. Quantitative Methods

    Definition. Quantitative method is the collection and analysis of numerical data to answer scientific research questions. Quantitative method is used to summarize, average, find patterns, make predictions, and test causal associations as well as generalizing results to wider populations.

  9. Measurements in quantitative research: how to select and ...

    Measures exist to numerically represent degrees of attributes. Quantitative research is based on measurement and is conducted in a systematic, controlled manner. These measures enable researchers to perform statistical tests, analyze differences between groups, and determine the effectiveness of treatments. If something is not measurable, it ...

    Liu and coauthors review the major data sources, measures and analysis methods in the science of science, discussing how recent developments in these fields can help researchers to better predict ...

  11. Using Numbers in Qualitative Research

    Keywords. The use of numbers in qualitative research is controversial. Particularly since the "paradigm wars" of the 1970s and 1980s, many qualitative researchers have rejected the use of numeri-cal data in their studies and reports for philosophical reasons. Primarily, this is because they have believed that numerical data are incompatible ...

  12. Types of Research

    The key features of quantitative research are: it is usually based upon numerical measurements and thus tends to use numbers and statistical methods of analysis; it tends to be associated with large scale studies and with a specific focus, often condensing information from a large number of specific occurrences to investigate causal hypotheses

  13. Measurement Issues in Quantitative Research

    Abstract. Measurement is central to empirical research whether observational or experimental. Common to all measurements is the systematic application of numerical value (scale) to a variable or a factor we wish to quantify. Measurement can be applied to physical, biological, or chemical attribute or to more complex factors such as human ...

  16. Functions of units, scales and quantitative data: Fundamental

    Numerical traceability requires documented connections of the assigned values to known quantitative standards to establish the results' public interpretability. This article focuses on numerical traceability. It explores how physical measurement units and scales are defined to establish an internationally shared understanding of physical ...

  17. How measurement science can improve confidence in research results

    Go to: Abstract. The current push for rigor and reproducibility is driven by a desire for confidence in research results. Here, we suggest a framework for a systematic process, based on consensus principles of measurement science, to guide researchers and reviewers in assessing, documenting, and mitigating the sources of uncertainty in a study.

  19. Measurement Issues in Quantitative Research

    Abstract. Collecting quantitative data necessarily entails making decisions about how various phenomena of interest to the researcher will be defined and quantified. This is the domain of measurement and this chapter reviews several important considerations, including operational definition of constructs (and their links to theory), construct ...

  21. Measurement: The Basic Building Block of Research

    Measurement in science begins with the activity of distinguishing groups or phenomena from one another. This process, which is generally termed classification, implies that we can place units of scientific study—such as victims, offenders, crimes, or crime places—in clearly defined categories or along some continuum.

  23. Measurement in social research: some misunderstandings

    The concept of numerical measurement based on the manipulation of objects has impoverished and distorted the meaning of magnitude and scale. This article aims to contribute to a concept of the most fruitful measurement for the development of the social sciences, with reference to specific aspects indicating the differences from the natural one and regarding, in particular, the non-numeric.

  25. What Is Measurement?

    1. A magnitude is a part of a magnitude, the less of the greater, when it measures the greater. 2. The greater is a multiple of the less when it is measured by the less. 3. A ratio is a sort of relation in respect of size between two magnitudes of the same kind.
