Qualitative data deals directly with descriptions; not numbers. This data can be observed and read but not measured since there are no numbers involved.

What does qualititive mean?

Qualitative refers to data or research that focuses on understanding the qualities, characteristics, and attributes of a subject rather than measuring it quantitatively. It often involves descriptive, non-numeric information that captures experiences, opinions, and perceptions. Qualitative methods, such as interviews and focus groups, aim to provide deeper insights into complex issues.


What is qualititive research?

data from which statistics cannot be formed e.g. if your data is written answers/comments by people, this is qualitative data because all the answers are different, so you can't form statistics from them. However if your data is from [for example] a questionnaire and your data is split into how many said yes and how many said no, then this is quantitative data because you can split the data into '28% said no and 72% said yes' etc.


Which type of data is more reliable qualititive or quantitive?

I can't tell you which one is most reliable because data (or information) can be collected in so many different situations to answer different questions. If I am conducting a very scientific experiment, for example I want to know if a type of tomato grows better in an acid soil, then I need to collect and analyze quantitative data.But in many fields, both types of data are needed. Sociology and psychology studies use qualitative data. For example, I want to know if people who have lived in hot climates for long periods of time, are more comfortable with heat and humidity. So I ask people if they are feeling uncomfortable (qualitative data), how long they have lived in a hot climate (quantitative data) , and also recorded the heat and humidity (quantitative data).- See related link. From the third link, the author opines:"What qualitative methods (e.g. case studies and interviews) lose on reliability they gain in terms of validity. They provide a more in depth and rich description."
