Some of the advantages of qualitative research are as follows:
- It enables more complex aspects of a persons experience to be studied
- Fewer restriction or assumptions are placed on the data to be collected. For example, if I measure depression by asking ten 1-7 scale questions, I can only collect data on these ten things I’m asking about
- Not everything can be quantified, or quantified easily, and an advantage of qualitative research is that it can investigate these things (for example, individual experiences)
- Individuals can be studied in more depth
- Because fewer assumptions are placed on the thing being studied it is great for exploratory research and hypothesis generation
- The participants are able to provide data in their own words and in their own way

I agree. Jam is awesome.
I have mixed feelings regarding both jam and all other edible preserves.
When it comes to jam, it’s good to be a little bit skeptical.

My question is in regard to ABA research methods. Here’s the scenario; Sara, a 14-year-old girl with severe developmental delays who exhibits self-injurious behavior. The self-injurious behaviors include pulling her hair, biting her arm and banging her head against the wall. What type of research design would an ABA professional employ when working with Sara? I considered ABAB research method, but got confused. Please help ASAP!!!
JJ,
Sorry, but I don’t feel comfortable commenting on that — please consult a qualified specialist instead.
Good luck
Warren
