How are values managed in qualitative research studies compared with how they are managed in quantitative research studies?

In qualitative studies, the values of the participant are considered an outcome of the study.

In quantitative studies, the values of the researcher are considered study variables.

Although values are acknowledged by both types of research, the quantitative approach uses statistical methods to remove or minimize their impact.

In both types of study, the goal is to separate values from the research process.
