Quantitative research deals in numbers, logic, and an objective stance. Quantitative research focuses on numeric and unchanging data and detailed, convergent reasoning rather than divergent reasoning. Quantitative research methods are frequently used to support decision making in many fields. They explain phenomena by collecting numerical data that are analyzed using mathematically-based methods (in particular statistics).
