    The key takeaways are that there are different types of research approaches including quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods. Quantitative research uses numerical data while qualitative research uses words. Some examples of qualitative research designs provided are phenomenological, ethnographic, and narrative research.

    The three types of approaches to research are the scientific approach, naturalistic approach, and triangulation/mixed methods approach. The scientific approach uses empirical data and controls variables while the naturalistic approach focuses on people's lifestyles and social relations using words as the unit of analysis. Triangulation uses a combination of research designs.

    Soft sciences focus more on human behavior and social interactions using qualitative methods like interviews and observations. Hard sciences are more objective and focus on measurable topics that can be tested and replicated using quantitative experimental methods.
