 Quantitative Social Research: Typical Features 1. Information is turned into numbers (measuring or counting).   2. Accuracy and precision are emphasized.   3. Focuses on people’s behavior—what they do, not what they say.   4. Follows the scientific method.   5. Uses deductive logic to test existing theories and ideas.   6. Research design is fixed from the beginning.   7. Reliability (consistent results over time) and validity (measuring what is intended) are checked.   8. Procedures are documented in detail so others can replicate the study.   9. Statistical analysis is applied to study data.   10. Findings are often generalized to a larger population.   11. Researcher strives to remain neutral and objective.   12. Standardized methods are used for control and accuracy.   Qualitative Social Research: Typical Features 1.

The other part is the amygdala, which likes things that happen fast like being famous and getting attention.New researchers want to do work and be honest.Things do not always work out that way.
