PSY 245 Wk 2 – Research Methods Comparison Worksheet

When conducting research, selecting the correct method is essential to the outcome. Most research falls into one of two categories: qualitative or quantitative. Differentiating these approaches will help you understand the research you read about and also help you determine how to organize a research study of your own. Note: Keep in mind that some researchers opt to combine qualitative and quantitative research methods.
