2 Quantitative and Qualitative Research The difference in how quantitative and qualitative research are done is very important. In quantitative research, actions are described with the help of statistical models. In qualitative research, thoughts or feelings are described in detail ( Bleiker et al., 2019). Instead of just using one method, it is better to use both quantitative and qualitative study methods. One of the best things about mixing the two methods is that the study that emerges from it gets bigger. The study will be more in-depth because of things like the use of both statistics and behavioral methods. Consequently, combining the two methods makes it more likely that a good theory will be found and speeds up the whole study process—methods for both quantitative and qualitative study and the theories that support them. On the other hand, blending the two might make things more difficult. There can only be one correct answer in quantitative research, but there can be more than one in qualitative research. When this happens, flaws that came up in the qualitative and quantitative parts of the study may fall apart, making it hard to fix them. Also, merging quantitative and qualitative research methods is more resource-intensive than just one because implementing them takes more time and money ( Noyes et al., 2019). Notably, a study is more likely to be accurate if it uses multiple methods. However, academics must be careful when picking the best way to answer the question they are trying to answer.
