Qualitative research doesn’t aim to count or quantify opinions; it aims to gain an understanding of underlying reasons and motivations. For example, qualitative research may try to find out how a new concept is interpreted when shown to the target audience and suggest how it may be improved. Qualitative research provides evidence and the researcher has to interpret this evidence to produce the findings of the research.
Focus groups and depth interviews are the most commonly used types of qualitative methods used in research
