Quantitative Research Methods Introduction to Research Methods

The research on social science eventually comes through any meaning about the human and society. Its message is directed to the society and the principal object of research would be its components, generally research participants or samples in terms of research method. As for nature, it is per se obvious that humans or populace act on various factors to influence their decision. This complex nature of human strands generally prevail that the multivariate analysis is an usual challenge for the social science researchers. For example, the researchers may like to know the relationship of special training on math and achievement of math score. He or she may apply a multivariate analysis from several variables, in which one may be controlled and pretest or post test will be administered. So he groups two classes in test and for a longitudinal study over one semester between the specially trained students and normal class. Then he adds one other variable of family income level that he supposes one important factor to affect the achievement of student in math subject. This would be quantitatively answered by applying a multivariate test, called specifically as factoral ANOVA. The simple ANOVA test may be dosed in several times to understand more a complex interaction or control among the variables. Nevertheless, it has the weakness that unnecessary time and effort would be consumed. Additionally, MANOVA or other multivariate analysis of data would lead us to the more intense and precise result when the variables in consideration all interact to affect the outcome variables. It can be made distinct from mere aggregation of each result from one way ANOVA or univariate and bivariate analysis. Like these, in various ways. the quantitative studies are used to find the scientific truth. Through the Quantitative Reasoning and Analysis (QRA), we could achieve much progress which would be helpful to accelerate the interest and skills in the empirical studies. Most of all, the studies in concern of quantitative method might be a leapfrog for one, who fears of the difficult quantitative skills of analysis. Many of researchers may be fragile since the math courses in the high school and one pass in the college days are all we may have experienced. It is challenging also because the days might be far gone of middle age. For this reason, it never is a puffery that we would fear of quantitative skills. I hope that this paper could be a small help to adapt with the quantitative paradigm. Additionally, it would be great to realize that the quantitative reasoning is fairly powerful and very persuasive to frame a scientific message not only for the peer professionals, but also for lay world. We don’t have to cite the belief of empiricists and its modern evolution backed up by the mathematicians and statisticians. The benefit from this research method is obvious from many realities. The SPSS program facilitates to save from the difficult hand-on works in the earlier quantitative research. The empirical studies, particularly in the sphere of quantitative studies, typically are related with a mass of survey experiment which flavors the kind of political engraft with the research circle.

Research is an important prerequisite for a dynamic social order. Society has marched on to its present form with the help of constant research and investigation. Statistics is growing in importance every day and is now being used in almost every field of study and activity. Even most of the subjects under "humanities" are now linked with statistics. As compared to mathematics. Statistics is a new branch of human knowledge However, from the point of view of perfection, the science of statistics is not very far from mathematics. Day to day the application of mathematics and statistics are increasing at a higher level. Social science research is a systematic method of exploring, analysing and conceptualizing human life in order to extend, correct or verify knowledge of human behaviour and social life. The aim of Social science research to understand the human behaviour and its interaction with the environment and the social institutions. The main objective of the study is to analyse the importance of Statistics use in Social science research. Scientific investigation presents itself in a more formidable fashion in the faculty of social sciences where quantitative techniques are a rather recent introduction. With increased emphasis on the use of quantitative methods in social sciences, it is often noted that researchers become victims of frustration and dejection due to their lack of knowledge of elementary mathematics and statistical methods. Simple concepts such as average behaviour, measure of variability, degree of interdependence, extent of explanatory capability of a simple model, etc. present major hurdles to researchers, otherwise quite intelligent but devoid of the knowledge of quantitative techniques. The main objective of this study to analyse the importance of statistics in social science research. The methodology used in this study is secondary data like books, reports, previous research papers and Government surveys. The major finding of the study observed as the statistical tools and techniques are using more the ninety percent of social scientists are using in their research works.

Data analysis is a critical stage in social research. Considering its primary audience—project students at the undergraduate level—the paper covers the basics approaches to analyzing data from social research. Using simple terms, as much as possible, it briefly traces the epistemological roots of the qualitative and quantitative data to subjectivism and positivism respectively. The paper treats some crosscutting issues in the analysis of data from social research. These issues are the role of research questions in analyzing data, developing data analysis algorithm, ethics of data analysis. Analyses of quantitative and qualitative data are treated separately. Under quantitative data analysis it provides basic information to understand the logic behind the main statistical tools and appreciate how and when to use them in actual research situations. It covers certain foundational concepts germane to the field of numerical analysis including scales of data, parametric and non-parametric data, descriptive and inferential statistics, kinds of variables, hypotheses, one-tailed and two-tailed tests, and statistical significance. Under qualitative data analysis, the paper provided a six-stage general procedure for analyzing qualitative data. These are organizing the data, finding and organizing ideas and concepts, building overarching themes in the data, ensuring reliability and validity in the data analysis and in the findings, finding possible and plausible explanations for findings; and the final steps. The paper provides Brief information on the use of computer technology in form of online services and computer software for data analysis. Keywords: algorithm, data analysis, ethics, quantitative data, qualitative data, statistics.

In social science research, one of the most basic choices you are likely to face is between using qualitative methods and quantitative methods, or some combination of the two. But is this really just a question about methods, or does some larger distinction among qualitative research, quantitative research, and mixed methods research need to be made? In large part, the answer depends on what ...
A detailed account of the research experience from selection and definition of the problem, formulation of hypotheses, gathering, analyzing and interpreting data, testing of hypotheses, making conclusion and suggesting further research in the related problem area is called a research report.
This study used a quantitative research approach, which focuses on quantifying and measuring variables and involves using and analyzing numerical data (Apuke, 2017).
Quantitative research is an inquiry into an identified problem, based on testing a theory, measured with numbers, and analyzed using statistical techniques. The goal of quantitative methods is to determine whether the predictive generalizations of a theory hold true. By contrast, a study based upon a qualitative process of inquiry has the goal ...
