Qualitative Research vs. Quantitative Research ,[object Object]

Qualitative Research vs. Quantitative Research ,[object Object],[object Object],When speaking of kinds of research, qualitative refers to studies of subjects that are hard to quantify, such as art history. The term qualitative research tends to be a residual category for almost any kind of non-quantitative research. [ … ] The qualitative-quantitative distinction is often overdrawn. It is difficult to avoid quantitative elements in the most qualitative subject matter. For examples, "The painter entered his 'blue period' in the 1890s." And qualitative components are crucial to most good quantitative research, which begins with theories, concepts, and constructs.
