Difference between qualitative and quantitative research
PowerPoint Presentation Difference Between Qualitative and Quantitative Research Qualitative Research Qualitative research is a type of empathic, empirical, exploratory, direct, physical research. It helps you understand reasons, motivations, opinions, trends that hide behind the more quantitative data of quantitative research. The most commonly used method for RQL is the F2F (Face to Face), the socalled focus group where a small sample of respondents gets interviewed for a long time, even hours, in front of a mirror, behind which the brand and research institute observe and listen. The F2F gets videorecorded and then transcribed as a storytelling, for images and tales. Quantitative Research As the word itself says, quantitative research helps you quantify, use numeric data or just data that can then be easily transformed into statistics, and it measures behaviour, opinions and attitudes of a large sample of respondents. Let’s say that we must have interviewed at least 30 people to talk about “quantitative”, but there are usually many more than that. Quantitative research can expand its scope if the brand is a multinational, by implementing multicounty investigations. Type of Analysis Qualitative: Case based, prospective holistic del comportment umano. Quantitative: Variable based, mathematical and statistical techniques. Generalization Qualitative Absent. Identification of the Weberian ideal types, interpretation of reality. Quantitative: Necessary. Individual fragmentation, correlation between variables, conceptual unit in the random model. Scope of Results Qualitative: Limited number of cases. Quantitative: Significant number, representativity. Methodology Qualitative: Observation of the respondent in the focus room, interviews with privileged witnesses. Quantitative: Structured questionnaire for CATI, CAWI or PAPI. Conclusions We have uncovered all the differences between quantitative and qualitative research. You must consider that there are qualitative shades in the quantitative instrument, but they should not be confused with qualitative, precisely for the reasons that have been specified so far. For example, in a CATI we could make an open end and ask, “If I say car, what are the first three brands that come to your mind,” the answer will have a qualitative shade but this has nothing to do with it, believe me.
