Which of the following factors must be taken into account in quantitative research?

1.Measurement

2.Causality

3.Replication

4.Exclusion of statistical analysis

5.Less importance to standardisation

A1, 2 & 3 only ✓ Correct

B2, 3 & 4 only

C3, 4 & 5 only

D1, 3 & 4 only

Correct answer: (A) 1, 2 & 3 only

Explanation

Quantitative research emphasises measurement, causality and replication.

Measurement turns concepts into numerical variables for analysis.

Establishing causality links independent and dependent variables.

Replication lets other researchers repeat and confirm findings.

Excluding statistical analysis contradicts the quantitative approach.

Quantitative work prizes standardisation rather than giving it less importance.
