Subject: Research I
Topic: Classification of Research (According to Statistical Content)

I. Introduction
The purpose of this report is to introduce the type of research according to statistical
content. Under this type may be mentioned quantitative research and non-quantitative
research. To determine what these two subtypes have in differences. Quantitative research
is often contrasted with qualitative research for they have their own descriptions and
characteristics. Although there are a lot of contradictions between these two, it has been
debated that the two go hand in hand.
II. Body
Quantitative research is the systematic empirical investigation of observable
phenomena via statistical, mathematical or computational techniques. Quantitative research
is generally made using scientific methods which includes theories and hypotheses,
experimental control and manipulation of variables, collection of empirical data, modeling
and analysis of data and the development of instruments and methods for measurement.
j
Quantitative research is used for discovering inherent meanings and patterns of
relationships, including classifications of types of phenomena and entities, in a manner that
does not involve mathematical models. It is widely used in psychology, economics,

demography, sociology, marketing, community health, health & human development, gender
and political science, and less frequently in anthropology and history. Qualitative research is
often used to gain a general sense and to form theories that can be tested using further
quantitative research. In qualitative research, descriptive data are gathered rather than
quantitative data.
III. Conclusion
There are two subtypes of classifications of research according to statistical content,
these are quantitative research and qualitative research. Qualitative research produces
information only on the particular cases studied, and any more general conclusions are only
hypotheses. Quantitative methods can be used to verify which of such hypotheses are true.

According To Statistical Content

Subtypes:

Quantitative Research

Non-quantitative Research

Quantitative Research
Quantitative or statistical research is the examination, analysis
and interpretation of observations for the purpose of
discovering underlying meanings and patterns of relationships,
involving classifications of types of phenomena and entities, in
a manner that doesnt involve mathematical models.
Approaches to quantitative psychology were first modeled on
quantitative approaches in the physical sciences by Gustav
Fechner in his work on psychophysics, which built on the work
of Ernst Heinrich Weber.
Objectives:

To develop and employ mathematical models, theories

and/or hypotheses pertaining to phenomena.
Sample:

Usually a large number of cases representing the

population of interest. Randomly selected respondents.
Data Analysis:
Statistical data is usually in the form of tabulations (tabs).
Findings are conclusive and usually descriptive in nature.
Outcome:
Used to recommend a final course of action.
Non-Quantitative Research
Non- Quantitative research is the kind of research in which the
use of the quantity or statistics is practically not utilized. This
type of research asks broad questions and collects word data
from phenomena or participants. In this type of research the
researcher looks for themes and describes the information in
themes and patterns exclusive to that set of participants.

Objectives:

To gain an understanding of underlying reasons and

motivations

To provide insights into the setting of a problem,

generating ideas and/or hypotheses for later quantitative
research

To uncover prevalent trends in thought and opinion

Sample:

Usually a small number of non-representative cases.

Respondents selected to fulfil a given quota.
Data Analysis:
Non-statistical.
Outcome:

Exploratory and/or investigative. Findings are not

conclusive and cannot be used to make generalizations
about the population of interest. Develop an initial
understanding and sound base for further decision
making.
