Question

Qualitative research seems to me to be more subjective in nature than quantitative. Do you agree with this? Support your answer with expert opinion.

Answer 1

There is always a controversy in telling that the qualitative research is more subjective in nature than quantitative. While both the methods if used efficiently and with purpose could definitely provide clarity in research if they are within the confines of ethical results.

Lets look both aspects of research. Quantitative research majorly rely on certain numbers that define our variables to see cause and effect. While qualitative research rely directly on observation. Therefore I think qualitative results along with quantitative research is an effective way to bring clarity of mind in the audience. Also, either of the two could be designed with respect to the profession along with its ethical needs.
