Positivist View and Quantitative Research
The document outlines the principles of quantitative research, focusing on positivism and post-positivism. Positivism emphasizes that knowledge can be logically and scientifically explained, while post-positivism recognizes that truth can be challenged. It also discusses the importance of objective, empirical methods in research to uncover patterns and laws of behavior.
