Inductive Approach and Holistic Perspective

Complements quantitative data by providing more detailed information
Cost-efficient and time-consuming
Difficult to analyze and cannot generalize the findings

Quantitative vs. Qualitative Research

Quantitative Research
- Ontology: anchored with realism, believing in one truth
- Epistemology: objective, etic knowledge, truth can be measured
- Focuses on numerical patterns, uses scientific inquiry to address questions
- Aims to produce new knowledge and understanding of the world
- Characteristics: structured research instruments, large sample sizes, dealing with numerical data, can be replicated
- Strengths: objective, exact, precise, uses statistics, can be analyzed quickly
- Weaknesses: requires a large amount of data, costly, ignores contextual factors, difficult to gather information
Qualitative Research
- Ontology: stems from relativism, multiple realities exist
- Epistemology: subjective, emic knowledge, interaction is needed to understand
- Focuses on gaining a thorough understanding of social phenomena in natural environments
- Aims to understand the "why" rather than the "what" of social phenomena
- Characteristics: naturalistic, detailed, purposeful, requires engagement and neutrality
- Strengths: provides detailed information, cost-efficient, can be used to analyze difficult to gather information
- Weaknesses: time-consuming, difficult to analyze, cannot generalize the findings

Etic vs. Emic

Etic: concerned with objective knowledge, taking an outside view of the variable to observe someone's situation
Emic: focused on subjective view of reality, interaction of people to understand the phenomenon
