QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH


 

Quantitative research studies rely on objective and detached research methods, using statistical data. The problem with this methodology is that it does not provide enough data for explaining the female perspective. What is significant about scientific research and evidence is that men examined this type of research, therefore it is provided from a male perspective. Feminist scholars understood that quantitative studies were not applicable to the female experience, therefore another approach(qualitative) was required.
