    Study Notes

    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
