Psychology: Which Research Approach is Better?

Consider the following scenario: You have been asked to study patterns of homelessness for a homeless shelter in a large city. The city has a diverse multi-ethnic population. You are to collect general data and present your findings to the board of directors.

In a 1-2 page paper, address the following:

  • Will you use a qualitative or quantitative approach in collecting your data? (You can only choose one approach).
  • Defend your approach and explain your reasons for using that model. Be specific. Give examples.
  • Be sure to check your work for spelling and grammar errors. Use APA formatting.
