1. Research: Quantitative research design is an excellent way of finalizing results
and proving or disproving a hypothesis.

2. Hypothesis: Quantitative experiments all use a standard format, with a few minor
inter-disciplinary differences, of generating a hypothesis to be proved or
disproved.

4. Experiments: Experimental methods limit the possible ways in which a research
participant can react to and express appropriate social behaviour.
Findings are therefore likely to be context-bound and simply a reflection of
the assumptions which the researcher brings to the investigation.
