Summary:
Quantitative research encompasses numerous statistical and analytic approaches, including surveys, experiments, and computational methods. Studies may aim to describe the relationships between variables, test whether those relationships are different from expected at random, or determine the causal effect of one variable on another. What all these methods have in common is that they rely on the quantification of phenomena--treating things that people see, feel, believe, or experience as numeric data that can be counted and compared. This How-to Guide presents a high-level overview of quantitative research, unpacking its core principles, goals, and approaches.
