Quantitative Research Methods

The strengths of the inductive, holistic approach are that it complements quantitative data and provides more detailed information. The weaknesses are that it is not cost efficient, cannot generalize the findings, and is time-consuming and difficult to analyze.

Quantitative research is anchored in realism that believes in one truth, and its epistemology falls under etic where knowledge is objective and can be measured. Qualitative research stems from relativism where there are multiple realities, and its epistemology falls under emic where knowledge is subjective and requires interaction to understand.
