Empirical research refers to any research that uses empirical observations, that is, experiences, to answer its questions. While these data in qualitative research<\/a> consist, for example, of interviews or notes, quantitative research relies on numerical data, e.g.<\/abbr> measurements.<\/p>\n

Elements of a quantitative paper<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

An empirical paper with a quantitative approach tests hypotheses derived from theory and usually contains the following elements:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Discussion of the problem in relation to the current academic literature<\/li>\n
  • Own research questions embedded in or derived from this discussion<\/li>\n
  • Implementation of these research questions into testable hypotheses<\/li>\n
  • Description of research methods: data collection methods, e.g.<\/abbr> questionnaire design, sample design<\/li>\n
  • Analysis methods: study sample, data analysis methods, presentation of results, findings regarding confirmation or rejection of hypotheses<\/li>\n
  • Discussion and interpretation of the results<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
    \n
    \"\"<\/div>\n

    Quantitative methods of data collection<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

    There are different methods of data collection for a quantitative study. The typical ones are:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Counting<\/li>\n
    • Assessing<\/li>\n
    • Testing<\/li>\n
    • Surveying<\/li>\n
    • Observing<\/li>\n
    • Measuring<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
      \n
      \"\"<\/div>\n

      Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
      \n

      What is meant by quantitative research?<\/h3>\n

      Through quantitative research, you test hypotheses derived from theory. Various empirical methods are available to you for this purpose.<\/p>\n

      How do I present my results clearly and understandably?<\/h3>\n

      Use a clear structure with tables or diagrams for illustration and describe the most important results objectively and concisely.<\/p>\n

      How do I deal with negative or non-significant results?<\/h3>\n

      These results should be reported objectively, reflected upon theoretically, and possible explanations (e.g.<\/abbr> sample size, measurement instruments) should be discussed, rather than omitted.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
