Quantitative Research and Qualitative Research are two distinct research
methodologies used in social sciences and other fields. Here are their definitions and
an explanation of which methodology Michael Collyer used in his journal article:
Quantitative Research:
Definition: Quantitative research is a systematic empirical investigation of
phenomena using statistical, mathematical, or computational techniques. It
aims to measure and quantify relationships between variables, and it often
involves collecting numerical data through structured methods, such as
surveys, experiments, or existing data analysis.
Explanation in the Article: Collyer did not primarily use quantitative research in
his article. Quantitative research typically involves collecting numerical data
and analysing it statistically to draw generalizable conclusions. While Collyer
did analyse data (e.g., the number of interviews conducted), the primary focus
of his study was not on measuring numerical relationships between variables
but on understanding the experiences and decision-making processes of
Algerian asylum-seekers.
Qualitative Research:
Definition: Qualitative research is an exploratory research approach that aims
to gain an in-depth understanding of human behaviour, experiences, and
perspectives. It involves collecting non-numerical data through methods such
as interviews, observations, and content analysis. Qualitative research often
results in rich, descriptive narratives rather than statistical measurements.
Explanation in the Article: Michael Collyer primarily used qualitative research
methods in his article. He conducted interviews with Algerian asylum-seekers
to understand their motivations and decision-making processes. The data
collected through these interviews provided insights into the experiences and
perspectives of the participants, which aligns with the goals of qualitative
research. Qualitative research is valuable for exploring complex social
phenomena, which was the focus of Collyer's investigation.
