Explain how qualitative studies differ from quantitative studies regarding ethical considerations in research with human participants.

What will be an ideal response?


Ans: Answer would ideally include: The nature of qualitative studies is such that researchers interact much more closely with participants than in quantitative studies. Because qualitative studies, typically, employ a much more close-knit environment and perspective, participants’ questionable personal behaviors may be observed. Additionally, results of the study will be less objective due to more interaction among the researcher and the participants. Finally, ethical concerns may not be readily apparent at the outset of qualitative studies. Therefore, researchers must be prepared for unforeseen ethical issues that may arise at any time while utilizing qualitative methods.
