Problem:
Which statement explains why qualitative methods could be more useful than quantitative methods in testing an ideational explanation? Ideational explanations typically involve people's beliefs and perspectives, which can be difficult to express in numerical data Ideational explanations depend upon the ideological perspective of the observer, so they introduce biases in the calculations made by a quantitative analysis Ideational explanations are usually articulated by political psychologists , who are not well trained in statistical analysis Ideational explanations are useful only for within-case processes, and quantitative methods are used only for examining cross-case patterns
