What are the Methods Used in Descriptive Research?
Several methods are employed in descriptive research, including:
Surveys: These are used to collect data from a large number of respondents. Surveys can be conducted online, via phone, or face-to-face. Observational Methods: Researchers observe subjects in their natural environment. This method is useful for collecting data on actual behaviors rather than reported behaviors. Case Studies: In-depth examinations of single or multiple subjects provide detailed information about a particular business scenario. Longitudinal Studies: These studies collect data from the same subjects repeatedly over a period, helping to identify changes and trends.
