Questions related to Quantitative Research
I am aiming to apply for a PhD with the following topic: Youth Awareness and Engagement with Degrowth Principles in Central and Eastern Europe – An Investigation of Climate Anxiety, Consumer Behaviour, Stakeholder Influence and Communication Strategies in Shaping Attitudes and Actions towards Degrowth
I have started to investigate research gaps and found that hardly any researches are dealing with the above topic, targeting CEE and youth. Do you find the topic novel, would you have any recommendations? I am aiming to do focus groups in related countries (ie Hungary, Slovakia, Romania, Bulgaria), quantitative research among youth upon focus group initiatives and a stakeholder mapping among NGOs, policy-makers, educational bodies, influencers to understand their strategies and narratives and their impact on youth in CEE. Thank you for your recommendations. Kind regards, Katalin

What is difference between Quantitative research and qualitative research ?
Quantitative research is a cornerstone of scientific inquiry, providing researchers with objective, numerical data to analyze patterns, test hypotheses, and derive conclusions. It is widely used across various disciplines such as social sciences, health sciences, economics, and business studies. Unlike qualitative research, which focuses on subjective insights, quantitative research uses structured tools and techniques to collect and analyze numerical data.
This article explores the most common statistical tools and techniques used in quantitative research. These tools help researchers process data, identify relationships, and draw valid conclusions. By understanding and applying these statistical techniques, researchers can enhance the reliability and validity of their findings.
Elements of Quantitative Research
It's important to understand the key components of quantitative research. Quantitative research involves collecting numerical data and performing statistical analysis to test hypotheses or answer research questions. The fundamental steps in quantitative research include:
1. Defining a research question; formulate a clear, testable hypothesis.
2. Data collection; collect data using structured methods such as surveys, experiments, or observations.
3. Data analysis; apply statistical techniques to interpret the data collected.
4. Drawing conclusions; make inferences based on the results of the analysis.

Qualitative research is a powerful tool in the social sciences, humanities, education and other disciplines. Unlike quantitative research which focuses on numbers and statistical analysis, qualitative research seeks to understand the deeper meanings, experiences and perspectives of individuals and groups. It provides rich, detailed insights that help researchers gain a holistic understanding of complex phenomena. This article explores the best practices for conducting qualitative research. These practices guide you in designing, collecting, analyzing and presenting qualitative data in a way that ensures rigor, reliability and ethical integrity.
Qualitative research is a method of inquiry that focuses on exploring phenomena from a subjective, in-depth perspective. It is often used to investigate complex social, cultural, psychological or behavioral issues that cannot be easily quantified. Unlike quantitative research which collects numerical data and uses statistical methods to test hypotheses, qualitative research deals with non-numerical data such as interviews, focus groups, observations and textual analysis.
Characteristics of Qualitative Research
Qualitative research is often used to explore new areas of study where little prior knowledge exists. It emphasizes understanding the context in which the research occurs, such as the cultural, social or historical backdrop. Qualitative research design is flexible as it allows researchers to adapt their approach as they collect and analyze data. It also focuses on personal experiences, meanings and interpretations. Common qualitative research methods include; interviews (structured, semi-structured, or unstructured), focus groups, observations, case studies, ethnography, content analysis and narrative analysis.
Best Practices in Qualitative Research
When designing and conducting qualitative studies, you need to consider the following key practices to ensure the quality and rigor of your qualitative research.
· Clear research objectives; before beginning any qualitative study, it is crucial to clearly define the research objectives. These objectives should address the research question or problem that you aim to explore. A focused and well-defined research question will guide the design, data collection and analysis stages of the research. Your research question should be open-ended and exploratory to allow for detailed responses.
For example: Instead of asking, "How many people use social media?" a qualitative question would be, "How do individuals experience social media use in their daily lives?"
I've to make an analisys about a quantitative and empirical research about same topics in education but i didn't find something interesting
It will be a quantitative research. (For MA. thesis) in the context of Iran.
To keep it very precise, I would say:
Qualitative Research explores the why and how, diving deep into emotions, opinions, and experiences.
Quantitative Research focuses on the what and how much, giving us numbers, patterns, and trends.

Hi,
I would like to publish research paper in journal that is in Scopus or Web of science data bases. Reserach is in education sciences and is a quantitative research. I don't have any budget (very limited budget) so it probbaly can not be an open access publication. As publication is part of a project i am willing to sacrifice journal quality (it can be in Q3 or Q4) over acceptence rate and review time. Maybe somone can recomend some journal that would align with my needs?
Thank you in advance!
I want questionnaire for quatitative research
What are your thoughts on using Likert-type scales with another instrument that must total 100? Specifically, I'm curious about using 5-point or 7-point Likert scales in the same study with an instrument that offers a scale where the participant must total 100 with four dimensions. The Organizational Culture Assessment Instrument (OCAI) is the survey I am referring to. Can you pair that with typical Likert-type scales such as the Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ) which is a 5-item Likert-type scale?

Our research adviser told us to use specified terms for validity and reliability in qualitative research, since he referred to these terms as specific for quantitative research. To my understanding, validity and reliability are also used for qualitative data, but are defined differently.
What are the key considerations, methodologies, and interpretive techniques for correctly applying and interpreting regression analysis in quantitative research, and how do they compare in terms of their accuracy, reliability, and suitability for different research contexts?
If we have a quantitative research confirming effect of one independent variable on one dependent variable in the presence of a moderating and a mediating variable and the construct of the scale/instrument/questionaire is correlates in such a way that all items are highly corelated to measure the same regressional relationship can we analyse cronbach alpha of all items together or do we have to do it seperately...? What makes more sense, suggestions are welcomed.

If you were considering research in a developing import-dependent African country, what would be those contemporary areas of interest that hold both practical and theoretical contributions??? Your opinion is highly appreciated.

While it's true that quantitative research is often associated with theory testing due to its emphasis on hypothesis testing and statistical analysis, it can also be utilized for theory building. Theory building involves developing new concepts, frameworks, or models to explain a phenomenon. How quantitative research can contribute to theory building?
Converting concepts into variables is related to the field of quantitative or qualitative research?

Could you help me in suggesting the topic or examples for my research for quantitative research that have four conceptual framework at least and their questionnaire? I could not find any of it and still have a lot to learn as i am still a students. Thank you for helping.
What sampling strategies are specifically for qualitative and quantitative research, respectively.
Could it be an explanation, that qualitative research methods are cheaper (in Spain at least) than quantitative, and yield less profit for institutes? Or because is more simple, qualitative research is better understood by everyone?
There are two main types of research: Qualitative research and Quantitative research. Your research question will be based on the type of research you want to conduct and the type of data collection.
The first step in designing research involves identifying a gap and creating a focused research question.
Below is a list of common research questions that can be used in a dissertation. How research question can be created for a specific problem and a related data collection ?

Initially I thought of using Simple Random Sampling. However, I will be conducting my survey via a crowdsourcing method. As a result I was informed I must choose convenience sampling as my sampling strategy. However, all I read about convenience sampling include the high probability of sampling bias because I may receive completed surveys from respondents that are not in my population of interest. By submitting the demographics for respondents and needing an equal response number from both populations my first thought was strata sampling strategy. The study is a Quantitative Comparative Study. Please chime in and share your recommendations. Thank you
In quantitative research, it is a must to apply theory to understand which variables we can use and how to measure them. Therefore, how many theories we can use in one paper? Is any idea more?
Hi everyone,
I am working on ATC about the topic: "The impact of entrepreneurship education on entrepreneurial intention and entrepreneurial behavior" used quantitative research and trying to find academic keywords related to "entrepreneurial environment".
Also, I have just found two related theories used to explain above topic are (1) the theory of planned behavior (TPB) and (2) human capital theory.
1. Any keywords refer to "entrepreneurial environment" academically?
2. Any other "theories" could be relevant to the above topic?
I need your support and expertise.

I am doing a qualitative research with interview as primary data and using thematic analysis. This is my first time doing investigator triangulation. I plan to code the transcriptions independently then compare the results afterward. However, I predict there will be some differences in results from each of the coders. How I resolve this? and which data should I use? in quantitative research, we can say the validity is for example 0.7. How can we say the validity in qualitative research?
Thank you.
I would be interested in what you see as the advantages and disadvantages of mixed-methods research in the social sciences. Do you do research with a mixture or combination of e.g. qualitative and quantitative research? Do you combine different quantitative or qualitative methods?
What challenges do you face (e.g., sampling, implementation, scope) and where do you see the limitations of the combination?
In an Exploratory Sequential Mixed Method Research, I have done qualitative research in stage 1.
I found some new construct, and discover linkage between the new found construct and the constructs under study. After that, based on the findings of qualitative research, I proposed a conceptual framework and I was able to offer some hypothesis.
After that I empirically verified few hypothesis by conducting a Quantitative research.
Now the thesis reviewer criticized that in Literature Review, I should discuss the conceptual framework and the relationships (proposed in the hypothesis). But I found that relationships after I concluded my qualitative research. How should I supposed to know them when I was writing the Literature review.
Please, someone guide me, where I am wrong.

Hello,
I am writing a quantitative paper with some colleagues based on cluster analysis. The questionnaire had two open-ended questions and some of the quotes left by participants capture really well the "spirit" of each cluster.
However, I am not sure how to write about this in the methodology section, because it's not as if we've done a thematic or content analysis of all the quotes (well, we could do that, though our focus in the paper really is the quantitative part). Any ideas of we should frame this use of quotes in the methodology section? Should we just write that we included some quotes to better illustrate each cluster? Or would that not be acceptable in a top-tier tourism journal? Thank you in advance!
We are currently doing correlational research (quantitative) about the gaming habits and academic performance of grade 6 pupils in just one school, that only consists of 150 grade 6 pupils. And we estimated that out of 150 only 35 pupils are only playing online games. Originally our research is about qualitative research. But our panelists suggested that we better conduct quantitative research.
We are not good at conducting quantitative research.

Let us suppose that you do a SLR on topic A, and you do another SLR on topic B, and you'd like to bridge your findings, and try to relate the two to deduce conclusions? what are some available qualitative and quantitative research methodologies available for this ?
I've been asked to give feedback on a study that used a survey with the option for comments in each question. Some participants decided to share additional observations and thoughts for some questions. I've found that these additional comments carry rich qualitative data so I'm suggesting they analyze them and integrate them into the results (since they're currently not).
However, I'm not sure how to justify this methodologically (or even if it's appropriate). Even though these comments add insightful information about the participant's perceptions, they only account for a portion of them.
Options I'm currently considering:
(1) Use a common theme analysis for the qualitative data and relabel the study from quantitative to mixed-methods.
(2) Still define it as quantitative, but mention that some qualitative data was gathered as optional comments and analysed as well (would this be methodologically correct?).
(3) Do not use the qualitative data for the results, since it doesn't come from all participants.
Any thoughts?
Thank you very much in advance!
Hello dear fellow researchers. I am conducting a quantitative study (exploring causality between the dependent and independent variables) in which I have provided a theoretical framework informed by SLA research. Should a hypothsis (based on theory to account for any causality claims) be stated or would it be better to dispense with the theoretical framework at all if no hypothesis is stated? Advise please.
My dissertation is on analysing particular processes/technology for the specific field and my suggestions for improvement.
- What are the challenges if my study uses a descriptive research approach through a narrative review using thematic analysis?
- Does it come under a theoretical or conceptual framework?
- Any suggestion on alternative research methods that can be done in a short time?
N.B. I am new to research and sorry if I mentioned anything wrong.
It doesn't matter if it is in English or Spanish.
Hi,
I'm fairly novice in statistical inference and hypothesis testing and I have a basic understanding of regression models. I'm working on my first quantitative research in organizational behavior. My research model consists of 4 variables of interest and 3 hypotheses. Suppose we have the following:
H1: increase in X has a negative effect on Y
H2: Y and Z are correlated
H3: W moderates the negative effect of X on Y and therefore Z
Suppose I gather sufficient quantitative data for each of these variables for each subject. How do I formulate each of these hypotheses to test with statistical models? More broadly, what should I be learning to understand how to design and conduct a test for each of the hypotheses.
Do you recommend any straightforward topic or material so I can focus on learning the vital concepts? Most books and online courses tend to cover everything which means it would take a lot of time for me to just know which and which I should have studied and used.
Any advice would be really appreciated
sincerely,
Ashkan

Hello everyone,
I'm currenlty writing my bachelor's thesis about the impacts of COVID-19 on the hotel sector in Germany, with the goal of developing a training manual for hotel management and entrepreneurs on how to cope with future pandemics.
One of my sub RQs is: What is the correlation between hotels responses to the pandemic and their occupancy rates?
How can I answer that questions if the hotels responses are based on qualitative data (interviews about entrepreneurial behaviour, e.g. one hotel said that in order to cope with the pandemic they increased their social media presence and improved their online appearance) and the occupancy rates are quantitative data?
Basically, my goal is to support my recommendations - which will be a training manual for hotel management and entrepreneurs on how to cope with future pandemics - by saying Hotel A did this and their occupancy rate increased (I'm obviously aware that correlation doesn't mean causation and this will also be one of the major limitations of my research, only using one hotel KPI).
Best,
Felix
For my dissertation, I asked my participant to estimate the weekly income of different occupations. As I did not provide a predetermined set or income range, I would assume that these open-ended questions as the participants could give any answer that came to their mind.
I am going to use the means for each occupation and see whether participant's social class or participant age has an effect on their income estimates (two-way ANOVA). For my method section I am trying to explain what types of questions I used but after doing some research, I am very unsure if I can use open-ended questions for quantitative analysis like that.
Hope anyone has advice for me :)
Thanks a lot,
Kristina
