Qualitative and Quantitative Research

Qualitative and quantitative research differ in their approaches and objectives. Qualitative research uses exploratory, subjective methods like interviews and observations to understand peoples' feelings and develop insights, while quantitative research employs objective, structured techniques like surveys and statistics to examine relationships between variables and draw conclusions from large random samples. Both approaches provide unique and complementary ways to analyze data and topics in the social and human sciences.
