Model Answer:
- Quantitative Surveys
- Strengths: Large, representative samples; ability to identify patterns and correlations; statistical generalisability.
- Limitations: Fixed response options may miss nuanced experiences; risk of social desirability bias; limited insight into meaning‑making processes.
- Qualitative Interviews
- Strengths: Rich, detailed accounts of lived experience; flexibility to explore unexpected themes; captures emotional and symbolic dimensions.
- Limitations: Small, non‑representative samples; time‑consuming data collection and analysis; findings are not easily generalisable.
Best practice often involves a mixed‑methods approach, using surveys to map broad trends and interviews to deepen understanding of the underlying processes.
