A good way to understand qualitative research in general is to begin with the philosophical bases that drive methodological practices (see first the entry for research). Qualitative researchers assume different epistemological and philosophical stances that influence their work. These include subjectivism, interpretivism, and constructivism. Qualitative work also may be guided by particular theoretical perspectives such as pragmatism; symbolic interaction; and deconstructionism; as well as by postmodernist, poststructuralist, feminist, critical, or participatory/action theories and worldviews. Common values include holism and contextualism.

It includes techniques and procedures such as standardized tests, random sampling and/or assignment, tests of statistical significance, and causal modeling. It may be preceded by descriptive pilot studies that are preliminary steps to a subsequent experimental or correlational study.
Quantitative studies have one or more of the following properties:
Adoption of the hypothesize–test–rehypothesize sequence that is characteristic of ‘the’ scientific
Emphasis upon structured and objective measuring
Extensive use of numbers to reflect the measurements and to summarize the
