    Study Notes

    Advantages of Data Collection Methods

    • Collecting quantitative data through web-based interviews offers the main advantage of increased accessibility and convenience.

    Types of Data

    • Primary data is based on firsthand observations and experiences.
    • Secondary data refers to information accessed through the internet to support research work.
    • Aggregate data allows researchers to gather collective information regarding certain topics or phenomena.
    • Quantitative data involves information based on evaluating projects that depict rates of responses among a sample or population.

    Disadvantages of Data Collection Methods

    • Conducting face-to-face interviews for collecting quantitative data has the key disadvantage of being time-consuming and costly.
    • Laboratory experiments for collecting quantitative data have the key disadvantage of lacking real-world context and may not generalize well to natural settings.
    • Manipulative data involves manipulation and can create more questions in the natural setting, potentially lacking external validity.

    Advantages of Quantitative Surveys

    • The primary advantage of conducting quantitative surveys is the ability to collect large amounts of data quickly and efficiently.

    Advantages of Quantitative Observations

    • The main advantage of conducting quantitative observations is the ability to gather objective and unbiased data.
