Compare Quantitative vs. Qualitative Research

Quantitative research uses numbers and statistics to analyze data collected through controlled experiments and surveys with closed-ended questions. It requires larger numbers of respondents and examines data in numerical form. Qualitative research aims to gain a deep understanding of human experiences through interviews with open-ended questions and naturalistic observations. It requires smaller numbers of respondents and examines data in words. The two research approaches differ in their purpose, setting, data collection methods, type of data, and mode of analysis.
