Quantitative research analyzes data to reveal numbers and statistics. This procedure is not utilized very often in social work practice due to the lack of studies large enough for analytical figures. It is, however, helpful for larger projects. Why is the most widely used research method the qualitative model?
  1. It helps to determine percentages in data analysis
  2. It determines the quality of the researcher’s data
  3. It specifies informative comparisons with other research methods
  4. It gathers in-depth understanding of human behavior
Explanation
Answer - D - Qualitative researchers strive to gather information on human behavior and the reasoning for such behaviors. This method deals with the “why” and “how” of decision making. Samples are much smaller and allow the social worker to be more focused. Qualitative methods produce information on the particular case studied only.
