• Qualitative research relies on data obtained by the researcher from first-hand observation, interviews, questionnaires, made in natural settings, and documents

A characteristic of quantitative research when the data gathering and analysis of results are done accurately, and are unaffected by the researcher’s intuition and personal guesses.

• Generalized data

• Fast data collection

• Visual representation

• Objective

Which characteristic of a quantitative research is being used when the researcher repeat a study to verify findings enhancing its validity, free from false or immature conclusions.

• Replication

• Reliable Data

• Visual representation

• Objective

• Dependent Variable

• Moderating Variable

• Independent variable

• Quantitative Variable

This is a variable which interferes with the independent and dependent variables, but its effects can either strengthen or weaken the independent and dependent variables.

• Dependent Variable

• Intervening Variable

• Moderating Variable

• Quantitative Variable
