EvaluationPositivists favour in principle because achieves their main goal of reliability: Careful control over experimental conditions and detachment produce reliable data as other researchers can replicate it, allows researcher to identify and measure behaviour patterns quantitatively and to manipulate variables to establish cause and effect relationships. However: Positivists recognise the shortcomings of laboratory experiments, Often impossible or unethical to control the variables. Their small scale so may not be representative or generalisable. Interpretivists reject because it fails to achieve their main goal of validity. |
