COMPARING RESEARCH METHODOLOGIES 2
Comparing Research Methodologies
Quantitative

Outcomes
Characteristics
Aims to count
classify and construct
models as an
explanation of
observations.
(Bullock, Little &
Millham, 2017)
Aims to provide a
complete and detailed
narration or
explanation of a
phenomenon
Aims to assess the
effectiveness and
quality of healthcare
by looking at certain
defined outcomes in
real settings
(Vandermause et al.,
2017).
Types of studies
Descriptive studies
Correlational
Quasi-experimental
Experimental
Phenomenology
Ethnography
Grounded theory
Cases study
(Bullock, Little &
Millham, 2017)
Analytical studies
Descriptive studies
Approaches
The sample used is
larger, random, and
representative. The
design characteristics
are predetermined.
The analysis method
is deductive with the
researcher being an
inanimate instrument.
(Almalki, 2016)
The sample is small,
non-random, and
theoretical. The
design is flexible and
emergent. The
analysis method used
is inductive with the
researcher acting as
the primary
instrument.
(Almalki, 2016)
Most research
methodologies
applied are
observational and in
uncontrolled settings.
However, the lack of
control on the
conditions causes
many confounding
factors that may be
misleading
Rigor definition
Rigor is determined
by looking at the
internal and external
validity and
reliability of the data
obtained. Consistency
of the results among
subjects and across
users show reliability
(Bullock, Little &
Millham, 2017)
Rigor is defined
through proof of
credibility,
dependability, and
trustworthiness of the
data obtained. The
data obtained has to
show neutrality and
consistency as part of
internal reliability
and validity (Bullock,
Rigor can be defined
through control of
bias, which is
common in these
studies. Elimination
or control of
confounding factors
can also define rigor.
These can help to
validate the results
from the studies
