Question

1 point
researchers were interested in the effects of changing work schedules on a variety of behaviors. employees from several companies who had recently changed from one work shift to another were surveyed. some of the questions asked employees about day-to-day health-related behaviors such as calorie intake, bedtimes, and minutes spent exercising. other questions asked the employees to write down what they were thinking at specific times during the day.
based on the questions asked, what types of data were the researchers collecting?
likert scales
statistically significant differences
quantitative and qualitative
factor analyses

Explanation:

• Quantitative data is numerical, which matches the survey questions about calorie intake, bedtimes, and exercise minutes (all measurable numbers).
• Qualitative data is descriptive/non-numerical, which matches the questions asking employees to write down their thoughts (open-ended, non-narrative responses).
• The other options are not types of collected data: Likert scales are a survey format, statistically significant differences are a result of analysis, and factor analyses are a statistical method.

Answer:

quantitative and qualitative
