Discussion Post: Qualitative vs. Quantitative Research
Look through your textbook and examine the various methodological approaches described for different study designs.
1) Do you see more qualitative or quantitative approaches used?
2) Why do you think some psychologists are more comfortable with conducting studies using quantitative data instead of qualitative data?
3) What would be an advantage to using qualitative data along with quantitative data?
4) Using the South University Online Library find two peer-reviewed articles (one that has used a quantitative approach and one that has used a qualitative approach.) Summarize these two articles.
5) What methods of data collection were used in these articles?
6) What makes these methods quantitative or qualitative in nature?
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
