RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Theory-testing with cases is the process of ascertaining whether the empirical evidence in a case or in a sample of cases either supports or does not support a given theory.

Detailed explanation-2: -Quantitative research is used when a research study needs to confirm or test a theory or a hypothesis.

Detailed explanation-3: -Theories form the basis upon which research hypotheses are formulated. Theories help quantitative researchers to test the conditions or circumstances under which certain phenomena occur. Additionally, theories help quantitative researchers to test the mechanisms through which certain phenomena occur.

Detailed explanation-4: -Quantitative theories are tools developed by the investigator to be deductively tested using particular statistical methods: theories are constructed logically from what is already known about the topic, considering the feasibility of measuring the concepts or variables in the theory.
