1. Introduction
Limitations
1. Is argued to be inadequate to understand some forms of information - i.e. changes of emotions,
behaviour, feelings etc.
2. Phenomenologists state that quantitative research is simply an artificial creation by the
researcher, as it is asking only a limited amount of information without explanation
3. Lacks validity
4. There is no way to tell how truthful a respondent is being
5. There is no way of telling how much thought a respondent has put in
6. The respondent may be forgetful or not thinking within the full context of the situation
7. People may read differently into each question and therefore reply based on their own
interpretation of the question - i.e. what is 'good' to someone may be 'poor' to someone else,
therefore there is a level of subjectivity that is not acknowledged
8. There is a level of researcher imposition, meaning that when developing the questionnaire, the
researcher is making their own decisions and assumptions as to what is and is not
important...therefore they may be missing something that is of importance
