Qualitative and quantitative research in sociology have their own tough spots that researchers often deal with.

Qualitative Research:

• Challenge: This type of research takes a lot of time and relies on personal opinions.
• Way to Improve: To make it easier, researchers can use structured interviews or focus groups. This helps keep the discussions focused.

Quantitative Research:

• Challenge: This research type may miss out on how people really feel and experience things.
• Way to Improve: Mixing it with qualitative methods can give a fuller picture of what’s going on.

Both research methods need careful planning. This helps reduce errors and makes the findings more trustworthy.
