QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH 2

experiences in synaesthetes is? The hypothesis test is to determine whether the synaesthetic

perceptions have an impact on sexual experiences during sexual intercourse. This study uses

questionnaires and qualitative interviews to obtain reliable information that can help answer the

research question and hypothesis. Based on the research findings it comes out that synaesthetes

were less satisfied a contradiction to the hypothesis which claimed that synaesthetes are

associated with a high degree of sexual satisfaction and trance (Nielsen, Kruger, Hartmann,

Passie, Fehr and Zedler, 2013).

The research question for the quantitative research is why we tend to listen to music

when we are aware it evokes sadness (Kawakami, Furukawa, Katahira and Okanoya, 2013). The

study hypothesized that perceived emotion would not correspond to the felt emotion in response

to music. The research utilized experiments where participants were expected to listen to music

before sharing their opinions. The research findings prove the hypothesis to be true since results

perceived it.

The first study on synaesthetic has utilized the qualitative research methodology whereas

the study of music uses a quantitative methodology. The two research methods are similar in the
