What is the difference between explanatory exploratory and discriptive research?

Answer 1

Distinguishing Between Descriptive & Causal Studies

Answer 2

Exploratory research is non-experimental or "observational study. In other words, you aren't manipulating any of the variables, you are simply "observing" them. in such studies we studies "explore" relationships, without manipulating variables. The basic purpose of exploratory research is to provide information to assist in research to gain knowledge and to understand of the problems . Explanatory study is to obtain information about the link between the causes and results of the evidence.

Explanatory research is research conducted in order to explain any behaviour in the market. It could be done through using questionnaires, group discussions, interviews, random sampling, etc.the primary goal is to understand the nature or mechanisms of the relationship between the independent and dependent variables."where the experimentor attempt to identify cause and effect"

(Dr. Amjad Ali Arain)

Answer 3

Explanatory research answers the questions of "why" and "how" something happened. It establishes a cause and effect relationship between two variables. Hence, the research explains. An example might be showing a relationship between the increased presence of police patrols in certain cities versus the reduction of crimes Did increased police presence have an effect on robbery crimes in banks and convenience stores, for example? Predictive research is involved with the forecasting (predicting) of a likelihood of something happening. This research usually begins with, or leading to, finding what will happen, given that some baseline is already known. This research usually involves some form of human behavior decision or condition. For example if we know that teens in intercity schools, aged 13-16, are prone to high dropout rates, predictive research might assess (predict) a relationship between age or gender and not graduating from high school.

Answer 5

A descriptive paragraph will describe a person, place or thing in detail. However, such a paragraph is usually limited to what can be seen, heard or sensed through tactile contact. An explanatory paragraph, on the other hand, will go into the "why" and the "how come" of a particular event, thereby explaining it.

Answer 6

compare and contrast the exploratary,dascriptive and causal research design

Answer 7

The objective of descriptive and explanatory research is provide information why certain things are done in a specific way. The other purpose is to provide information.

Answer 8

Descriptive is taking deep and in depth notes of research. Casual is taking small, brief notes of research.
