  • Quantitative research: focuses on numerical data, uses statistical analysis, and aims to identify patterns and trends
  • Qualitative research: focuses on non-numerical data, uses descriptive analysis, and aims to gain in-depth understanding of phenomena
  • Mixed-methods research: combines both quantitative and qualitative approaches
  • Research methods can be classified into:
    • Experimental research: involves manipulating variables to observe their effect
    • Non-experimental research: involves observing variables without manipulating them
    • Survey research: involves collecting data through self-report measures
    • Case study research: involves in-depth examination of a single case or a small number of cases

Research Design

  • Research design refers to the overall plan for collecting and analyzing data
  • Types of research design:
    • Experimental design: involves manipulating variables and controlling for extraneous factors
