Which of the following is not a source of data which is appropriate for qualitative research ?

  • A.Historical records
  • B.Experiments
  • C.Biographies
  • D.Participant observation

Answer: B

The source not appropriate for qualitative research is experiments.

Qualitative research seeks depth and meaning from words, texts and observation in natural settings. Experiments manipulate variables under controlled conditions and measure the effect numerically, which makes them the classic quantitative method.

Historical records and biographies are documents that qualitative researchers analyse for meaning, and participant observation, where the researcher joins the group being studied, is a central qualitative technique.
