    The document compares and contrasts qualitative and quantitative research methods. Qualitative research uses smaller, non-randomly selected groups to understand social interactions through open-ended responses, interviews and observations. Quantitative research uses larger, randomly selected groups to test hypotheses and make predictions using precise measurements and validated instruments. While qualitative research is exploratory and focuses on context, quantitative research is confirmatory and aims to describe, explain and predict relationships between variables.
