When conducting or evaluating research, it's important to understand when it's appropriate to use numeric or nonnumeric data gathering, analysis, and study.

Many careers require an ability to locate, review, and incorporate data and hypothesis testing into outcome-based projects. This assessment requires you to evaluate a quantitative and a qualitative research study.

Imagine that you are instructing students about the differences between qualitative and quantitative research, and you are asked to present this information to your class.

Use the University Library to research 2 journal articles: one that is based on a quantitative study, and one that is based on a qualitative study.

QUANTITATIVE ARTICLE: Causal Attributions as a Predictor of Course Grade in Instructional Psychology Program: A Quantitative Case Study of Canadian Students

QUALITATIVE ARTICLE: Research on the death psychology among Chinese during and after the COVID-19 pandemic

Create a slide presentation in which you analyze both the qualitative and quantitative studies. Address the following in your presentation:

• Describe each study.
• Identify the research methods used for each study (e.g., sampling, probability, hypothesis type, testing used to address the problem statement).
• Explain the outcomes from each study.
• Differentiate between quantitative and qualitative research with specific examples from each study.
• Discuss any threats to validity or bias that you may have seen.
