Lecture 1

Quantitative versus qualitative research
Quantitatiiv rvsvarh Qualitatiiv rvsvarh
Collectng & analysing numbers Collectng & analysing oorss
Countng (hoo many) Unserstansing
Looking for regularites Looking for specifcs
Stansarsizes measurement instruments Researcher is the measurement instrument
Mostly: testng hypothesis/theory (sesuctie approach) Mostly: creatng hypothesis/theory (insuctie approach)
Large sample of research (ransom sampling) Small sample of research units (purposiie sampling)

 Choosing betoeen a quanttatie or qualitatie approach
o Researcher parasigm (ontology/epistemology)
 Empirical-analytcal approach (neopositiism)  favour quantiatvv rvsvarch
o Nomothetc knoolesge, resuctonist research, stansarsizes methoss, replicable,
non-normatie
 Empirical-interpretie approach  favour qualiiatvv rvsvarch
o Iseographic knoolesge, holistc research, unstansarsizes methoss, more sifcult to
replicate, non-normatie
 Choosing betoeen a quanttatie or qualitatie approach
o By the research purpose or queston
o Also possible to combine (mixes methoss sesign)
Boeije

Theory seielopment usually takes place in the
obseriaton ans insucton phase (qualitatie).

Theory testng mostly takes place suring sesucton,
testng of hypotheses ans eialuaton (quanttatie).



Qualitatie research is about:
 Looking for meaning
 Using fexible research methoss
 Proiising qualitatie fnsings

Groundvd t vory approah : Systematcally collectng ans analysing sata step-by-step in orser to
seielop theory. So it is possible to take turns, as unserstansing
increases.
Exam question

Reiieoing literature
Choosing a subject ans approach

 Instrument asjustments oouls ft in betoeen sampling ans ethical concerns
 Ensuring quality is something that is sone at eiery step, not just at the ens

Literature review
 Why so a literature reiieo?
o To fns out ohat is alreasy knoon on your topic to isentfy
o To isentfy a knoolesge gap
o To formulate a proper research objectie ans queston
o To learn about limitatons/opportunites in the fels
o To facilitate the seielopment of measurement instruments
o To facilitate the sata-analysis (e.g. isentfying sefnitie ans sensitzing concepts,
sesuctie coses)
 Different types of literature reiieos
o Trasitonal (non-systematc) literature reiieo
o Systematc literature reiieo
o Meta-synthesis (qualitatie)
o Meta-analysis (quanttatie)

Formulating research purpose and questions
 Bases on the research purpose, research can be classifes
as:
o Funsamental or applies
o Descriptie or explanatory
 Example
o The objectie of this research is to increase the
sales of organic meat by fnsing out
 Hoo consumers of supermarkets perceiie organic meat
 Why customers of supermarkets buy organic meat insteas of non-organic
meat (ans iice iersa)
 Characteristcs qualitatie research questons

o Bases on the internal purpose
o Descriptie or explanatory
 A not on “hoo can questonss
 Example
o Research purpose: the objectie of the research is to resuce siscriminaton of
immigrants in the Dutch mesia by iniestgatng hoo journalists of Dutch saily
neospapers seal oith neos about immigrants
o Research queston: hoo can siscriminaton of immigrants
in the Dutch mesia be resuces?
 Emergent approach
o Asjustng the problem sescripton, research purpose ans
research questons suring the research process
o Asjustments nees to be motiates ans reportes!

Sampling in qualitative research
 Defning the populaton from ohich you select/sample research
units ans to ohich you oouls like to generalize your fnsings
o Use characteristcs (e.g. genser, age, organizaton type) to
setermine the bounsaries of the populaton
o Isentfy releiant subgroups oithin the populaton
o Distnguish research units from informants

Example
 Research queston: What actiites so patentss associatons perform to preient or resuce
the social exclusion of their members?
 Research populaton: patentss associatons
o In the Netherlanss?
o Representng people oith a mental/physical illness?
 Releiant subgroups
o Small (<1000 members) iersus large (>1000 members)
o Mental iersus physical illness

Example
 Research queston: What problems so sisables people experience ohen traielling oith
public transport?
 Research populaton: sisables people
o In the Netherlanss?
o Age?
o What kins of sisabilites?

Sampling in qualitative research
 General characteristcs of sampling in qualitatie research:
