Quantitative Research Concept Map Template

This qualitative research concept map collects information from a specific group relevant to the topic. Because qualitative research allows for anonymity, no names of research participants are included in the diagram. It instead focuses on the percentages obtained from the focus group survey. If you want to add more graphs and numbers to your concept map, you can use one of several online diagramming tools. Quantitative research is a great research structure commonly used in the social sciences. The framework collects strategies, assumptions, and techniques used to investigate social, economic, and psychological processes through numerical patterns. It contains a variety of numerical data.

Quantitative Research

APPROACHES

Researcher subject/study objectrelationship

The researcher does not interfer as apartcipant.

The subject is approached as an object.

Approach mode to Study Object

The hypothesis built on a theoreticalbody previously sientifically studied,after that data is collected in order tobe proveed.

Relationship between objectivity andsubjectivity

Setting objectivity conclusions by usingnumetical data.

DESIGNS

Experimental Designs

Pure experimental

The validity of these designs is very high.

Use four aspects related to experimentaldesigns

Random selection of subjects

Random assigment to group to groups

Maipulation of external factors

Control of external factors

Quasi-experimental

used when there is no possiblity ofselecting the subjects randonmly.

The conclusions drawn are less valid than a"Pure" experiment.

Pre-experimental

Control groups are used.

Exploratory function.

Non-experimental Designs

Accrding to different perspectives

Of measurement

Longiudinal

Used to describe changes in thephenomenon over time.

Advantages:

high power designs because theintra-individual difference are minimized

Since the subjects are the same studied indifferent moments, thy become theresearchers control

Disadvabtages:

Very costly

threatened by mortality

Changes of age

Cross-sectional

It's about describing the Phenomenonthrough the variables, the result are not

Cohort studies

Looks for the characteristics of Severalgroups of subjects over time.

Survey studies

It's about asking questions directly to thesubject of study.

of the units of analysis

Of the information sources from the field

Taken from the analysis Units.

Construction and Validation ofmeasurements instruments

EXAMPLES

Pharmacological tests

These tests are used to find out if a givendrug migh be effective and to determinethe optimal dose to give.

The tests that are done to test possiblevaccines are one of the examples ofquantitative research.

Two groups are made, one experimentalto which the potential vaccine is applied,and another control, which only receivesone result.

Species characteristics

The work that zoologists do when they finda new species. They record all themeasurments of the individual foud toestblish what the average characteristies ofthat animal are.

Satisfaction surveys

Many organization contact the users oftheir products or sevices after consumingthem, to propose some brief questionsaimed at giving a numerical value to theirsatisgaction.

It can be through a telephone call,automated or not, through an email orthrough other methods.

General staistics

They are scientific methods linked to thecollection, Presentation and analysis ofdata, both for drawing conclusions and formaking decisions.

Thanks to those records, other researcherscan benefit from the huge data collectionand analyze it based on the studies theyare doing.

TYPES

Research through surveys

Can be carried out with both single ormultiple groups.

Sample randomly selected

Examples.

Telephone surveys

Online surveys

Research through surveys

Used to relate two or more variablesthrough mathematical anylisis methods.

Example of variables

Patterns

Relationships

Trens

Comparative causal investigaion

Used to draw conclusions about thecase-effect between two or morevariables.

Experimental research12

Depends on a theory (can be verified irrefuted).

It is used in natural or social sciences.
